Therefore, there are suggestions: "If the path is clear, if it is to retreat; if it is to retreat, if it is to retreat." From the forty-first chapter of the Tao Te Ching, it means, therefore, that the ancient speakers said: The way of light is like obscurity; the way of progress is like retreat; the way of flatness is like a rough road.

Therefore, there are suggestions. "Suggestions" are the words of the ancients, those that have been handed down from ancient times to the present, and we call them idioms and allusions today. From this sentence, we know that the Tao Te Ching is not entirely the creation of Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu said that he only gathered together the words spoken by his predecessors, and he did not create them, because truth existed before there was no heaven and earth.
"The path of clarity" and "if" are as if, and the truly bright avenues seem to be dull. If you see a bright spot in the darkness, you will feel very bright. It's dark all around, and if you do a little good, you won't be able to do it.
In other words, if the background is very bright, the person can not be more bright. In reality, we can also experience this. In fact, it is strange that you suddenly hear this, which proves that our cognition is often the opposite, not true.
"If you go forward and retreat", it seems that you are getting more and more regressive when you move forward. You didn't understand anything just now, and now that you understand, you say I'm progressing so fast. You are now taking the test forty points, and then you have to take the test to sixty points, you feel that it is getting more and more difficult, sixty points to get eighty points, that is simply no way. The faster you go, the more you feel like you're regressing.
"Yi Dao Ruo", the flat road is Yi, and the rugged and uneven road is Yi. The flat avenue seems to be bumpy to walk, why is this so? Because your physical strength will be tired, it will be difficult to walk.

Therefore, there are suggestions, and the ancient people who made the sayings said that if the clear path is ignorant, the obvious path seems to be obscure; if the path is retreated, the way that is advancing seems to be retreating; if the road is open, the flat road seems to be rugged.
The Ming Dao is like ignorance, "if", which is a special term in Lao Tzu. When Lao Tzu described the Tao, he liked to use the method of suspicion. Like this, like that. The obvious Tao seems to be obscure, and the most ordinary things are not clear to ordinary people.
For example, someone asks what is the secret to reading? To be honest, what else can be done than hard work? Whether people are smart or not is another matter, that is, the degree is different, and the hard work is the essential difference. All those who have achieved success in reading emphasize hard work. Long-term efforts, naturally, will be different in the end.
If you go back, when you go forward, others will look at you as if you are retreating. Why? For example, I am now talking about Traditional Chinese Studies, and I know that I am not enough, and I look up the dictionary all day long, because many words are used differently in ancient Chinese. People look at me as if I'm backing off, and they'll say that looking up a dictionary isn't a schoolboy's business, and why are you still looking up a dictionary?
The flat road seems to be rugged. For example, many people have experience of being hit by an apple under a tree, but only one Newton thinks: Why did the apple fall down and not fly up? Everyone thought it wasn't that complicated, but Newton complicated it. In fact, that is the flat road, the average person can't see it, can't think of it. That is, there is doubt in the middle of no doubt. Everyone thinks that there is no need to doubt, but at this time there are doubts, that is, the flat road seems to be rugged.

Therefore, there are suggestions, and the way is clear. "Advice"? In today's terms, it is an aphorism. As the old ancestors said, "the clear way is like ignorance", the real road, the bright road is invisible. So, you don't think that daytime is called light, the real light is like night, so now there are black holes found in space, but I don't know what is going on, all the light of the universe, as soon as you enter the black hole, it becomes black, what is in this thing is not known. Scientists now wonder if the entire universe was released from a black hole. In the Taozang, it is said that "if the path is clear", the great light is equal to the darkness, and darkness is the foundation of the true great light.
"Ming Dao", the true way of the Great Ming, "Ruo Ming", "Ambiguity" is not complete darkness, there is a little ambiguity, there is a little ambiguity, that is, we now have a popular saying, "Before dawn, there is a period of darkness." This period of darkness, the literary special name is called "ambiguous", that is, between the light and the unlit, which is now often called the dawn. This "ambiguity" is a natural physical phenomenon and also illustrates the role of the Tao.
The principle of "the clear way is ignorant" is extended to the handling of people, that is, before things are successful, there is often a very difficult period. In scientific research work, when it comes to inventing something, the research seems desperate in the end, and when you are about to give up, suddenly an inspiration comes and the invention is successful.
"If you go forward and retreat", learn anything, do any thing, progress to a certain extent, and when the results are about to appear, you feel that it is a regression. For example, writing with a brush, the first three days of writing, the more you read and write, the more flavorful, the more beautiful you write, and you also admire that you are about to become a calligrapher. On the fourth day, the more I wrote, the more ugly it became, and on the fifth or sixth day, I didn't want to practice, and the more I looked at it, the more I didn't look like it. At this time, don't give up, although the writing becomes more and more ugly the more you look at it, that is the progress process of your calligraphy. Therefore, this phenomenon existed before progress, and this was true of human nature and physics.
"Yi Dao Ruo" and "Yi" are flat roads, for example, when we open up a new road, like building a transverse highway, there are all kinds of difficulties before we have opened up. The "jaws" are piled up and cannot be developed; and when they are opened, they are flat roads. In other words, until the flat road is complete, we will find the project very difficult.
Tao Te Ching, Chapter 41
The sergeant hears the tao and acts diligently; the sergeant hears the tao, if he survives; the corporal hears the tao, laughs. Not smiling is not enough. Therefore, there are suggestions: "If the path is clear, if it is to retreat; if it is to retreat, if it is to retreat." Shangde Ruogu, great white if insulting, Guangde if insufficient; Jiande if stealing; quality is true if Yu; generous without corner; great instrument is not successful; big sound Xisheng; elephant invisible. The Road is nameless. Husbands are the only way, good loans and success.
