Lao-tzu's book Tao Te Ching is a great classic of ancient China.Like other pre-qin scholars,lao-tzu and other pre-qin scholars presented their own important ideological propositions based on historical realistic thinking after a deep reflection on the turbulent historical experience.Their starting point and foothold are the drawbacks of remedy,and find good governance.We really should remember that in our research.Great truths are always simple,and such judgments are often forgotten by some researchers.They tend to ignore the social and historical reality based on the text,and gradually get misled by the surface content of the text,ignoring the social and historical soil of the text and its inner thoughts.The Tao Te Ching is often misread.It is easy to limit the generalization and dialectical thinking in Tao Te Ching,and explain the main contents of the book purely from the perspective of abstract metaphysics or cosmology.The more reasonable reality is that the abstract and dialectical idea will be generated from the concrete social reality experience.According to this paper,the starting point of Tao Te Ching is the social and historical experience.From this foundation,the idea of cosmology or metaphysics is promoted and abstracted.That is to say,the article thinks that Tao Te Ching is first and foremost a social theory of political philosophy.With social reality as study object,oneself put forward relevant political governance and its national rule,in order to realize repeatedly mentioned in the book of social ideal,to return to more old age than Confucianism,Mohism,etc.And cosmology,metaphysics,dialectical thinking and other abstract aspects,mainly the content of nature.The core thesis of this paper will be proved by the contents of Tao Te Ching.We grasp the chapter ? as a breakthrough.The chapter is the beginning,and the main points of this thesis are discussed and clarified with the discussion of other aspects.This paper will prove that the core of this thesis is reasonable.From the thinking of this article,we can also realize that if we want to grasp the wisdom of ancient China,we have to start from the dimension of historical experience.This is a typical feature of the practical wisdom of ancient China.
