I'll talk about Fubi later, but let's talk about trance now.
Lao Tzu said that the Tao is in a trance, what does trance mean?
Reading Chapter 21 of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching today, I encountered this problem.
I can only explain it myself, but I don't know if it's right or not.
But when I read this chapter today, there was a windfall.
When the author interprets this chapter, this chapter tells a small story.
It is the story of Fubi, a famous minister in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Say, someone scolded him, and the person next to him also told Fu Bi that someone was scolding you, did you hear that?
Fu Bi actually heard it, but he pretended not to hear it, and said, no one scolded me.
The person next to him pointed out that everyone else scolded you by name.
Fu Bi said at this time, there are many people with the same name and surname as me, and there are really too many people who call me by this name in this world, so how do you know that they are scolding me?
I didn't expect Fu Bi to explain this matter in this way, which really surprised me.
Usually, others are pointing us behind our backs, and we feel unbearable when we know it, let alone criticize us and accuse us in front of me.
If we can all be like Fubi, how much trouble it will be saved.
