Good words are not beautiful, and no one believes them.
"Advice" is faithful and reliable, and must be based on truth. The Taoist priest's words are simple and clear. His writing style is neither like poems and songs expressing emotions, nor like eight-part essays seeking fame. Words of empty beauty can also be passed down from generation to generation to make a name for themselves and invite pets to make profits, but they can't reveal human nature and save lives. Laozi's writing style is unpretentious, and there is no disease of "flattering" the world.
Good people don't argue, and debaters are not good.
The "goodness" here does not mean "benevolence" in a narrow sense, but goodness above Tao. The "theory" style of a wise man is to seek truth from facts thoroughly, and it must conform to the principle of "the road is simple and easy", and its purpose is to combine knowledge with practice in order to have practical results. Therefore, we will not engage in complex philosophy, nor will we play sophistry concept games to confuse people.

"The knower doesn't know, the knower doesn't know".
The "knowledge" here refers to the awakened universe-the truth of life, which can be called true knowledge.
"Bo" means erudition, which refers to the breadth of book knowledge, and also includes miscellaneous studies of practical philosophy and law. Cultivation is a practical demonstration of simplifying the complex and unifying all methods, rather than seeking erudition, so it is most taboo to confuse the old with the new, so that the mind is not specialized. The enlightened form of the wise master is also consistent, so that it can reach the people's hearts directly, and it will not appear knowledgeable, usurp the host's role and lead the whole body. The formal essence of Laozi's "theory" is inaction Dafa, maximum multiplication, epiphany and gradual practice, and all-round and high-level regimen.
