In the "Great Path of the Way","Zhi" was used as the main word and "Jian" was used as the sole word.
In politics, the 'Great Way' referred to the highest ideal, the highest standard for governing society, and the universal truth. In the expression of "the journey of the great path", its meaning included "the world is for the public", that is, the nature of the regime is that the world is public, and the social wealth belongs to all members rather than individuals;"select the wise and able", the social manager should be elected by the members of society, and the election standard is to be a person with noble moral character and outstanding ability;"trust and harmony", the members of society should establish good relations, emphasize integrity, advocate harmony, and maintain social peace and stability. This expression expressed an ideal social state of harmony.
The meaning of Great Dao Xiyi included many aspects: - From a philosophical point of view, it could express the mystery of emptiness and silence, such as the expression in the literature such as Xie Chi's explanation and explanation of Qi by Xiao Tong of the Southern Dynasty. This kind of emptiness and silence was difficult to study and look up to. - It symbolized a mysterious realm of emptiness and solitude. Just like what Han Yu, Qian Qi, and other poets described in their poems, this realm was beyond the scope of ordinary people's understanding. - It meant a quiet and natural attitude, such as the Northern History, Preface Biography, Li Xingzhi and other materials, which had been maintained for many dynasties. - In the context of religious culture, it could refer to Taoism and Taoist priests. Yuan Zhen, Gao Qi, Gao Xiaoben and other people's poems all had such usages. There was also another understanding that the Great Dao could not be heard or seen, just like the meaning conveyed by the inscription of the Great Dao Xiyi at the ruins of the Zongsheng Palace.
In "the journey of the great path","zhi" was used between the subject and the verb, canceling the independence of the sentence and having no practical meaning.
"The simplest of the great path" meant that the greatest and most fundamental principles were often simple. In life, the solution to complex problems may be very simple, such as looking at the problem from a different perspective. In the field of art, calligraphy, painting, poetry, etc., they pay attention to simplicity but have a profound artistic conception. In interpersonal communication, simple methods such as treating each other with sincerity and putting one's heart into another's heart can build a deep friendship. This concept was an attitude towards life, reminding people to grasp the essence of things in the complicated world. "The world is for all" meant that the world was shared by all people. To select people with noble moral character and talent, everyone should be honest and cultivate a harmonious atmosphere, depicting an ideal social state of harmony. When the two were combined," the simplest way is for the world " could be understood as the great goal of achieving the ideal society of Great Harmony that was shared by the public. The fundamental principle was simple, which could be reflected in simple and fundamental concepts such as selecting talents, advocating honesty and harmony.
The meaning of " the world is home when the Great Way is hidden " was that when the moral standards and righteous path of society were hidden, people's behavior would lose its norms, and the world would become a selfish world centered on individuals or families. At this time, the Great Dao had already declined, and the world had become the private property of one family. People only respected their parents and loved their children. They treated their finances and contributions for themselves. The emperor and vassals passed on their father and son and brothers as etiquette. This reflected the emergence of private ownership and a hierarchical society. The abdication system gradually became a hereditary system. The social order would be destroyed, and the relationship between people would become alienated and opposed.
It means a fresh or unique method or approach. Like finding a novel way to solve a problem means coming up with a new and different solution.
I'm not really sure. Maybe it's some kind of unusual phrase or reference that's not commonly known.
Honestly, the phrase 'a way in a manger' is a bit odd. It could potentially suggest a way or passage that exists inside a manger, but without more context, it's hard to say for sure.
I think 'way in the manger' might refer to a location or position within a manger, but it's a rather uncommon phrase and could have various interpretations depending on the context.
In Luo Yin's Qixi poem,"Luo Jiao Xing He Tian" mentioned the Xing He, where the "Xing He" referred to the Milky Way in the sky, and the "Xing He" was another name for the lotus flower. From the perspective of metaphor and meaning, they depicted the sky scene during the Qixi Festival. The Milky Way stretched across the sky like a bright ribbon. It was an intuitive astronomical scene. The blooming season of the lotus flower was similar to the Qixi Festival. The lotus flower symbolized the arrival of this season. At the same time, the noble image of the lotus flower that was not stained by mud added a bit of beauty and holiness to this scene. The entire phrase created a beautiful picture of heaven and earth echoing each other, setting off the romantic atmosphere of the special festival of Qixi Festival. There were stars flashing in the sky and lotus flowers blooming in the world. Under such an environment, people carried out activities related to Qixi Festival, such as the family laughing and setting up a red feast as described in the later part of the poem. The novel "Acanthus Flower Blossoms" is equally wonderful. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
