Basic explanation

Pronunciation: SH ì zh ī B ù Ji à n, t ī ngzh ī B ù w é n. Lao Tzu used to describe "Tao", which means that "Tao" is quiet but not obvious, which cannot be grasped by human senses. Later refers to saw with did not see the same, heard with did not hear the same, used to describe do not pay attention to, do not pay attention to. It is the same as "seeing without seeing, hearing without hearing". [example] the second volume of "seven signatures of Cloud Collection" written by Zhang Junfang of Song Dynasty: "only my old gentleman is still outside the emptiness and solitude, in the emptiness and emptiness."

Canonization

"Seeing without seeing, listening without hearing" comes from Chapter 14 of Laozi's Tao Te Ching: "seeing without seeing is called Yi, listening without being famous is called Xi." Tao Te Jing, also known as Tao Te Zhen Jing, Lao Zi, five thousand words and five thousand articles of Lao Zi, is a work of ancient Chinese pre Qin scholars before their separation, which was admired by all the scholars at that time. It is said that it was written by Lao Zi (i.e. Li Er, from Luyi, Henan Province) in the spring and Autumn period, which is an important source of Taoist philosophy. Daodejing is divided into two parts: the first chapter is "Dejing" and the second chapter is "Daojing", which is not divided into chapters. Later, it is changed to "Daojing", with 37 chapters in the front and 38 chapters followed by "Dejing", which is divided into 81 chapters. It is the first complete philosophical work in Chinese history. Daodejing was regarded as a Taoist classic from 206 B.C. to 200 A.D., so some scholars think that Daodejing is divided into 81 chapters, which has obvious Taoist idea of "nine to one", and it is far fetched in the division of content. However, the first thirty-seven chapters of Tao Te Ching preach and the last forty-four chapters talk about morality. In short, Tao is the body and morality is the use. In the Qing Dynasty, Wei Yuan broke this Convention for the first time and divided Tao Te Ching into 68 chapters, maintaining the integrity of each chapter.
