Abstract:The existence of “Tao” laid the foundation for Lao Tzu’s philosophical thought and created an difficult to guess or comprehend body of Chinese philosophy.Lao Tzu’s philosophical system is centered around “Tao”.The word “Tao” in Lao Tzu’s book is unified in symbolic form,but has different meanings in different chapters.This paper interprets the internal characteristics of Tao from three aspects:the source of“Tao”,The connotation of “Tao”,“Tao”produces all things,so that readers can better understand the ontological basis of Lao Tzu’s philosophy—Tao.
Keywords:Lao Tzu;Tao;Theory that man is an integral part of nature
The existence of “Tao” laid the foundation for Lao Tzu’s philosophical thought and created an difficult to guess or comprehend body of Chinese philosophy.The word “Tao” in Lao Tzu’s book is unified in symbolic form,but has different meanings in different chapters.but there is a certain connection between there connotations.There are various opinions in the academic circles about the interpretation and research of “Tao”.The author interprets the origin essence and internal characteristics of “Tao” in his own language style,so that readers can have a deeper understanding of Lao Tzu’s ontological basis—Tao.
The source of “Tao”
The concept of“Tao” was not created by Lao Tzu,but appeared before Lao Tzu.The word “Tao” first appeared in the bronze inscriptions of the Western Zhou Dynasty.The concept of “Tao” was widely used in the late Western Zhou Dynasty.The word “Tao” originally refers to roads and paths.From the perspective of Chinese characters,the word“Tao” is composed of lines and heads,indicating walking and direction,extending to the meaning of road and guidance and so on.Because it has this meaning,it has been further upgraded to the meaning of methods,principles and rules.The meaning of “Dao” has been evolving in the long history.At first,there are meanings such as likes and dislikes,integrity,rules,righteousness and so on.In the Spring and Autumn period,the meaning of “Tao” was further developed.“Tao” in ZuoZhuan and GuoYu has not only the meaning of road,method,principle and law,but also the meaning of natural law,social law and human relation law,so as to explain the objective law of nature “the way of heaven” and the “human way” of social law and human relation law.In the way,Tao is divided into “Heaven’s way” and “Humanity” and the unity of opposites between them is further illustrated,which is of great and far-reaching significance in the development of “Tao” and the history of Chinese traditional culture.This view predicts that the relationship between heaven and man will become an important basic problem in ancient Chinese philosophy,and also regulates the development trend of Taoism in ancient Chinese philosophy.It is in the process of thoroughly discussing the Heaven,Humanity and their relationship that the meaning of Tao is constantly enriched and rises to one of the basic categories of the Chinese philosophy.
