Laozi and Dao Essay

1, Superficially understanding Laozis ideas, those who hunch over do non talk / those who talk do not tell apart (56), are a bit conventional during his period time. It seems like that sages should emphasize to go with the path of solitary, pretending to be ignorant and hide their talents to mollify out of troubles. But we should think much deeper because Laozis wisdom is passing profound that it is unenviable for us to understand it. I think that those who last do not talk/ those who talk do not live on means that sage does not need to show off their talents.In Laozi, if a person is true well-educated or intelligent, he himself will unify with what he learns and understands I mean that everything a sage does fanny show how wise he isa sage himself is wisdom itself. Laozi himself focuses much on how to live as an erudite person, act as an erudite person rather than talk as an erudite person. Related to Chinese tradition, Laozi prefers people who are humble and low-key but not showy and hard-edged. So, Laozi writes about Dao instead of talking it he believes that Dao itself is the truth which truly exists and does not need to be publicized by preaching.2Confucius ideas of Dao focus to a greater extent on ourselves, but Laozis Dao is more receptive, including the rules of everything in the universe. An educated human beings cannot but be resolute and broadminded, for he has taken up a heavy responsibility and a pertinacious course. Is it not a heavy responsibility which is to practice benevolence? Is it not a long course, which will end only with his death? (The Analects).Confucius thinks that no matter how difficult it is, man can make their will the will of the universe if they set in the right ritual that is the reason why Chinese emperor Wu (one of the most ambitious and powerful emperors in Chinese history) of Han dynasty decides to confucianize the whole China. strange Confucius, Laozi thinks that Dao decides what is possible and what is im possible, maybe possible can become impossible, but it should follow the rules of Dao human being cannot force the impossible become possible. The biggest difference in the midst of Laozi and Confucius is that Confucius knows the past, now, but he does not know future, so everyone need to vie now for future Laoziknows past, now and future because he knows that everything follows the Dao so he prefers that everyone should enjoys now and does not worry about future because it has already been distinguishable by Dao.
