hi I'm Andy

Today we'll learn Laozi's thinking together

today I will use the traditional Chinese tune to

read English

it's maybe a little bit weird

such a thing as Dao

is a trance and blur

trance and blur

there's an image

blur as trance

there's an object

deep and dark

there is an spirit

the spirit is real

there is a belief

since ancient until today

his name never gone

he observe all the creatures

how could I know the status of all the creatures

it's depend on the Dao

okay

the virtue is decided by Dao

Dao is higher than virtue

Dao is like the soul

and virtue is like the body

if the virtue follows the Dao completely 100%

that virtue is up virtue

if only partial follow the Dao

that's called down virtue

but still virtue

it's like in school exams

you got a 100 score

that's perfect

but if you get 70 60

that's okay or maybe

even got 10 15

that's still okay

because you try your best

the Dao is a chance and blur

but it seemed there's an image

and there's object

great Dao is imageless

but it raise all the creatures

when Laozi practiced the Dao

or seeking the Dao

and he said

there's a spirit in a Dao

and that is real

and you can believe it

so that means

if you followed him practice the Dao and

you will find the truth

and you will believe it

so that was 2,500 years ago

but later in China

about 1,800 years ago

people make the Dao thinking as a religion

the Daoism

so when they practiced the Dao

they entered a bottleneck

and they can't go further

and they will find something else to help

like the Daoist priest use incense burner

they will make the pills

to help them

they use chemicals minerals

such like lead

mercury

or charcoal

sulfur

so Chinese people invented gunpowder

I'm serious

the gunpowder was invented by Daoist priest

they want to use the pills to

help them get over the bottleneck

in the whole history of China

we have many emperors

they died of addicted to the pills

because the pills are poisonous

okay see you next time bye bye
