Lao Tze Ritual Dialectical View

The study of Lao tze’ view of Rites of Zhou, as a representative of the academic mainstream ideas,the older scholars etc Feng Youlan, Ren Jiyu, Lao Siguang are believe that Lao tze is against the ritual of righteousness, they are directly according to the Lao tze Chapter38. In recent years, with the depth of the academic research, scholars seem to find this statement is suspicious to Chen Guying, Bai Xi, Mei Zhensheng represented by some scholars believe that Lao tze is not just general against rites and morality, he is just for the time disease. I agree with newly scholars’ view, but in access to the related research material later, find out the research of Lao tze’ view of Rites of Zhou is not systematic and in-depth, so I want to study the Lao tze’ view of Rites of Zhou systematacially and in depth, in order to promote the research.Lao tze is the spring and autumn period and the representative of the class,, its unique culture-psychological structure of the civilization of the zhou dynasty thanks to edify ritual and music. Face the ritual collapse thrilled, relevant disadvantages, Lao tze to its benevolence, love spirit, rich life and the historical experience of historiographer, the profound insight of rites, built the natural futility is the core value of the ceremony view. The essence of Lao tze ritual view is constructed in its natural goods on the basis of the social system of naturally generated thought. So my view is Lao tze not only not against zhou, still in the zhou human foundation will recognize the aspects of zhou.A great thinker, have a mental thing in common. Confucius and Lao tze is contemporaries, he initiated the approach of the socialist rule of Confucian and dao is a Taoist natural socialist approach is actually the zhou two dimensions, they are two and a relationship. Confucius construction on the basis of benevolence in ritual study, also has the natural spirit value, this undoubtedly is agrees with Lao tze ritual view. This paper is going to clear view of the whole framework of Lao tze’s Rites of Zhou view, and explore the true value of it.
