Era<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">Laozi (c. 571 BCE \u2013 471 BCE), born Li Er, courtesy name Dan, lived during the late Spring and Autumn period. He served as an archivist in the Zhou royal court. He is regarded as one of the greatest ancient Chinese thinkers and the founder of Daoist philosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Life and Legends<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">According to Records of the Grand Historian, Laozi once conversed with Confucius, influencing him greatly. Later, he \u201crode westward through the Hangu Pass,\u201d leaving behind the Dao De Jing before disappearing, his later life shrouded in legend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Influence<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">Laozi\u2019s thought centers on the concept of the Dao. He advocated wuwei (non-action in the sense of non-contrivance), harmony with nature, and following natural laws. In later Daoism he was deified as \u201cTaishang Laojun,\u201d and his philosophy remains one of the foundations of Chinese culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1 wp-block-paragraph\">\u2e3b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1 wp-block-paragraph\">The Dao De Jing<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Title and Structure<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">Originally called Laozi, the work was later divided into two parts: the \u201cDao\u201d (Way) chapters and the \u201cDe\u201d (Virtue) chapters, hence the name Dao De Jing. The text has about 5,000 characters in total, arranged into 81 short chapters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Core Ideas<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p4 wp-block-paragraph\">1. Dao: The origin and law of all things. \u201cDao produces One; One produces Two; Two produces Three; Three produces the myriad beings.\u201d The Dao is ineffable yet omnipresent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p4 wp-block-paragraph\">2. De: The manifestation of living in accordance with the Dao, the inner power and virtue that sustains existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p4 wp-block-paragraph\">3. Wuwei (Non-Action): Not \u201cdoing nothing,\u201d but refraining from artificial interference, acting in harmony with the natural flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p4 wp-block-paragraph\">4. Relativity: Opposites such as being and non-being, easy and hard, long and short, noble and base\u2014each exists in relation to the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p4 wp-block-paragraph\">5. Political Philosophy: Advocates \u201csmall states with few people,\u201d simple living, and governance through non-interference, opposing harsh rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p4 wp-block-paragraph\">6. Wisdom for Life: Encourages returning to simplicity, valuing softness over hardness, contentment, and harmony between body, mind, and nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1 wp-block-paragraph\">\u2e3b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1 wp-block-paragraph\">Influence<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Philosophy: A cornerstone of Daoist thought, with lasting influence on Confucianism and Buddhism as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Politics: Successive rulers drew on the principle of wuwei (\u201crule by non-interference\u201d), though often in pragmatic adaptations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Literature and Arts: Renowned for its concise, poetic language and deep imagery, inspiring countless works of art and literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Global Impact: Translated into many languages, it has influenced Western philosophy, literature, and religion, often praised as \u201ca jewel of Eastern wisdom.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2014<\/p>","protected":false},"author":17897162,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":true,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_geoff_meta_description_en":"","_geoff_meta_description_zh":"","_wpcom_ai_launchpad_first_post":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[783695773],"tags":[892827,5367918],"class_list":["post-10466","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","hentry","category-study-notes-on-daoist-philosophy","tag-892827","tag-5367918","post_format-post-format-image",""],"translatepress_titles":{"en_AU":"\u8001\u5b50\u53ca\u300a\u9053\u5fb7\u7ecf\u300b\u7b80\u4ecbIntroduction to Laozi and the Dao De Jing"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1ar9H-2IO","jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/geoffreychen.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10466","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/geoffreychen.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/geoffreychen.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/geoffreychen.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17897162"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/geoffreychen.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10466"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/geoffreychen.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10466\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10470,"href":"https:\/\/geoffreychen.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10466\/revisions\/10470"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/geoffreychen.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10466"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/geoffreychen.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10466"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/geoffreychen.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10466"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
