Let me know, walk on the road, and only give is fear. The avenue is very bad, and the people are good.
Towards the very elimination, the field is very wu, the warehouse is very empty. Dressing in color, carrying a sword, tired of eating and drinking, having more than enough goods, is for theft. Non-Taoist also ya!
‖ Interpretation ‖
If I had the slightest bit of wisdom, I would have walked on a flat and safe road, and the only thing I was worried about was that I had accidentally walked the unsafe path. The avenue is so flat and safe, but people always like to take shortcuts that are crooked and evil.
The constant change of dynasties has caused the peasants' fields to be barren and the country's warehouses to be empty. But the princes and nobles were still dressed in ornate clothes, carrying sharp swords, and were a little bored with the food, and there was a lot of treasure hidden in the house, which the robbers boasted about themselves there. This is completely out of line with the avenue!
‖ Wisdom Revelation ‖
What is avenue? Avenues must first be reasonable. Those who do not act according to the law, try to be opportunistic, and seek crooked shortcuts will not have any good results.
Lao Tzu said, for example, that the country is empty, the people are poor, the fields are barren, and there have been years of war, and those who are officials do not sympathize with the hardships of the people at all, and still eat, drink, have fun, and have red wine, such a country is completely out of line with the road, and will eventually lead to extinction. The practice in line with the Dao dao is to share weal and woe with the people, so that the people can rest and recuperate and live and work in peace and contentment, rather than taking advantage of the plunder and providing for their own luxurious life. In this way, the country will have long-term peace and stability.
The same is true when it comes to health care. The body always pursues external pleasures, resulting in internal emptiness, lack of yang qi, at this time also take a large tonic medicine, pretending to have a lot of energy, pursuing external vanity, looking for more wealth, the result can only be to empty their own body early, and fall into a tragic end of "a lot of money, people are not there".
