In Laozi's Original Meaning,Wei Yuan believes that only by "cultivating the mind and governing things " as the center,to interpret Laozi's "inaction" and "nature" can demonstrate the practical utility of Laozi's thought.Wei Yuan used Laozi's thought as the theoretical basis,exerted his own ideas,made a clear classification of the various ideological doctrines of the Taoist school after Laozi,and judged the discourses of the past dissidents,pointing out their ideological inclination and substantive meaning.The deviation from the above illustrates the "inaction" theory and the "natural" theory closely related to the real society.Wei Yuan believes that "inaction" should begin with "no desire" and "raise the heart of Taikoo" in order to achieve "inaction" in the true sense.Based on such a theory,Wei Yuan interprets the substantive meaning of Laozi's "doing nothing and doing nothing",and fundamentally answers the fundamental problem of "the debate of famous and literary qualities" and breaks the existing "inaction" theory.The limitations of the school,the correct way of learning and governance.On the one hand,through the "custom" and "nature","stunning" and "salvation",Wei Yuan makes the concept of "natural" to the essence of the matter to the moral nature;on the one hand,according to the naturalmanifestation of things,Wei Yuan It clarifies the positive and continuous social effects that can be triggered by "natural",establishes a correct attitude towards life,and applies corresponding means to achieve long-term stability of the country."Retirement","contentment" and "use of the world" are the three main tendencies in Laozi's thought.Wei Yuan attributed the former two tendencies to the "slim" approach,based on the root cause of "the Da Ren",and established the close relationship between "cultivation" and "use of the world",demonstrating that "slimming" plays a role in "using the world" Positive role.The "inaction" and "natural" theory in Laozi's Original Meaning is the basic content of "cultivating the heart" or "cultivating the body",and it is also a necessary premise for "governing things" or "using the world." Scholars and rulers can only achieve the fundamental purpose of "governing things" or "using the world" with the "Tao" as the purpose of "cultivating the heart of the Taikoo" and "recovering the nature of nature" and forming a positive social effect.In Laozi's Original Meaning,Wei Yuan used his interpretation of Laozi's thought as his way to form his own ideological system and create the new meaning of Laozi's thought.As an important document for studying the history of old school,Laozi Benyi has the generality that the previous viewpoints do not have,and the innovation that is due to the special period of the formation period.Therefore,the analysis of the content of philosophicalthoughts in Laozi's Original Meaning and the establishment of the ideology of the ideology can reveal the core value of this book of salvation and clarify the indelible role of Wei Yuan in the history of old school.
