Note： In the work Tao Te Ching
there are such sentences like that “when having won victory in the war, handle such
occasions as funeral ceremonies”, here Lao-zi does not mean to entirely negate
the function of ritual, but points out the limitation of ritual which does
not meet the needs of the times. Ritual is the product after the Great Tao is
discarded. We should negate constantly from the highest ritual, the highest
righteousness to the highest humanity and sublimate them into the highest
virtue so as to advance with the times and return to our original nature and
to achieve that “He who holds fast on to the intangible Great Image
goes about everywhere in the world, yet he won't suffer harm, but all will be
peaceful, placid and safe. ”(chapter 35) It's a pity that at that
time Confucius didn't accept the advice from Lao-zi. After returing, he
gasped in admiration before his disciples: "I met Lao-zi today, he looks
just like an omnipotent dragon!" Futurity regard it as a praise of the
dragon. Although Confucius didn't
start out from the Great Tao but by 'Ren (humanity), Yi (justice), Li
(ritual) ' to rectify the people's heart, such also played a great role in
the history.( A Biography of Lao-zi )
Man follows the example
of the Earth; the Earth follows the example of Heaven; Heaven follows the
example of Tao. Tao follows the example of nature. (chapter 25) In the Eastern Zhou
Dynasty, the Confucius' A Praise Of The Dragon has it that “Birds I know they can
fly; fish, I know they can swim; beasts I know they can run. What can run may
be captured in nets; what can swim may be fished with a hook and line; what
can fly may be shot with arrow. As for dragon, I don't know it, may it ride
on the wind and clouds to the sky? Today I met Lao-zi, he looks just like an
omnipotent dragon!” (Sima Qian, The Biographies of Lao-zi Historical
Records) The most perfect virtue
is like that of water, which is good at benefiting all things but never
strives for personal gain.(chapter 8, Tao
Te Ching ) If the video playing can
