Paper Keywords: Lao Tzu's inaction is all about purpose and regularity

"Doing nothing without doing anything" is an important viewpoint of Laozi's aesthetic thought, which is not only of great significance at that time, but also of great guiding significance to our present study, life and everything in the world. We should absorb the essence of Laozi's aesthetic thought and apply it to our study and life.

foreword

As an ancient civilization with a long history of 5,000 years, China plays an important role in the history of world music aesthetics. It is a music discipline that stands in the tripartite confrontation with Greek and Indian music aesthetics. When it comes to ancient music aesthetics in China, people will inevitably mention Confucian music aesthetics represented by Confucius and Taoist music aesthetics represented by Laozi. In this article, I only talk about my own experience of Laozi's aesthetic thought of "doing nothing and doing everything" on behalf of myself.

Introduction of Laozi and Aesthetic Implication of "Doing Nothing and Doing Nothing"

Lao Zi, surnamed Li and Bo Yang, was born in Guxian County of Chu in the late Spring and Autumn Period. He was a famous thinker in ancient China and the founder of Taoist school. Laozi devoted himself to the personal moral cultivation of "weakness" and "inaction". His main work, Tao Te Ching, is the most authoritative classic of Taoism. Regarding the aesthetic thought of "doing nothing without doing anything", Laozi regards it as the law of metaplasia, which includes the understanding of the important laws of beauty, namely, freedom and necessity, purpose and harmony. The so-called nature is natural, natural. The so-called "doing nothing without doing anything", "doing nothing" is not doing nothing, but means that Tao breeds, dresses and nourishes all things, making them fully develop according to the nature of things, with no other purpose or action. "Inaction" means that "inaction" has achieved all the beauty of life and the world, and finally achieved its goal. Laozi believes that people can only be free if they conform to the laws of nature everywhere. Deeply aware of the unity of freedom and necessity, the unity of purpose and law. For example, in Chapter 34 of the Tao Te Ching, it is said: "Things are born without regrets, and achievements are not famous. Clothes support everything and have no priorities. Often have nothing to want, can be called small. Everything is not the main thing, but it can be called big. Because it doesn't think it is big, it can become big. " "Anonymous ownerless" means that Tao incarnates everything, has no other pursuit, and does not pretend to be the creator. It helps the nature of all things and does not dare to let them grow because (Chapter 64) completely conforms to the nature of all things and has no other purpose or action. This is "inaction", and it is precisely because of "inaction" that Tao has achieved "inaction without doing anything", achieved the growth of all things and the beauty of the world, and finally achieved its goal. It doesn't think it is great, and it doesn't pursue greatness, but it becomes really great and looks extremely great. The so-called "success". It can be seen that the success of Tao lies in that it completely integrates its own purpose and pursuit into the nature of all things, rather than the external pursuit. Judging from the relationship between purpose and law, purpose is integrated into law, not external to law. The two are mutually infiltrated and unified. As far as the life movement of all things in the universe is concerned, everything has its own characteristics. Only by conforming to its growth law can everything show its elegance and the world become a beautiful world. On the contrary, if it goes against the nature of everything and encourages everything, it will go against the laws of nature, the physical properties will be distorted or strangled, and the world will become ugly and beautiful. It can be seen that Lao Tzu saw from the life movement of all things that the changes of all things in nature are unconscious and purposeless, but the results are all in line with a certain purpose. Nature did not consciously pursue anything and achieve anything, but achieved everything invisibly and achieved everything.

Second, the aesthetic thought of "doing nothing without doing anything" inspires us.

Through the simple analysis of Laozi's aesthetic thought of inaction, we can easily see that the essence of Laozi's aesthetic thought lies in his claim that everything is based on nature and everything is done in accordance with the laws of nature, so we should not rush for success. Only in this way can we do everything with our heart. In fact, this idea of Laozi has great guiding significance for us to do many things now, not just for us. In view of this problem, I want to make an analysis from my personal point of view.

1. Enlightenment of "Doing Nothing and Doing Nothing" on Vocal Music Singing

As a student of Bel Canto in vocal music major, she often suffers because her vocal skills can't reach the height that the teacher wants. Sound is a very abstract concept, which is invisible and intangible. You can only judge by hearing. And most of the time, the voice you hear is often different from the voice the teacher hears. The sound that you feel comfortable with may be the worst sound to others, so it is difficult to get a good sound. This difficulty mainly refers to whether the concept of sound is accurate. For example, if the teacher lets the students' voices go forward, if the students don't grasp them well, they will make the voices too bright to look too white or the real voices will lose their original aesthetic feeling. At this time, the most taboo is to be too anxious. The more you want to find the right sound, the farther away you are from the right sound. Why? Because at this time, a certain part of the body or a cavity often feels stiff in order to blindly pursue its own comfortable sound, so the sound must be bad, which is what Laozi said, "If you violate the laws of nature, things will become beautiful." Therefore, when we encounter similar situations in daily classes, we might as well think more about Laozi's thought of "governing by doing nothing". In other words, don't think the sound is too complicated, just let it go, put your feelings into it and sing the most comfortable sound according to your most comfortable feeling, then the sound at this time is good in most cases. Of course, it is impossible to pursue nature blindly and let all parts of the body relax absolutely, because that will not produce the kind of excitement when singing, and naturally there will be no good voice. There may be many teachers who think that the best teaching among their students is those who have simple ideas and think little. Why? Because most of these students have a feeling of indifference and simple thinking, they just follow the teacher's ideas and let them sing as they like. They don't think much, and they don't particularly care whether they can sing well, but they can hear a good voice soon according to the teacher's meaning. This is the so-called "inaction". Of course, it doesn't mean that every student can sing a good song with an indifferent attitude, but that students who think too much about vocal music and always set their goals too high can't achieve the results they want, so they may as well relax their mood and study its regularity with a passive attitude and how to conform to its natural laws. In this case, maybe one day you will find that "inaction" will be transformed into "nothing". Therefore, for those students (including myself) who are not very smooth on the vocal music road, I personally don't think we should be too impatient. Rushing for success is like "pulling out seedlings to encourage growth", which is bound to backfire. In fact, the voice is nothing more than a very open cavity, with enough breath support, rich emotional expression and good voice foundation. Then coordinate the relationship between the parts and sing it, but it's easier said than done. Because the coordination of these parts is a very difficult thing, a little carelessness may lead to some problems. Therefore, we should realize that vocal music and many other subjects need our lifelong study. Only with a "inaction" mind can we be less impatient, study calmly, master the law slowly, conform to the law, and finally succeed. The above are some personal experiences about how to use the aesthetic thought of "doing nothing and doing everything" in vocal music singing to better guide their own learning. In fact, not only in learning, but also the aesthetic thought of "doing nothing and doing everything" in life inspires us everywhere and teaches us how to become a better person.

2. The influence of the aesthetic thought of "doing nothing without doing anything" on personal cultivation and life.

We live in such a modern society, and the pressure of life, study and economy often makes people breathless. Many people around us are invisibly comparing themselves with each other, blindly comparing what they should and should not do. After a long time, in order to achieve their goals and satisfy their vanity, they did a lot of things they shouldn't do, thus losing some precious things in their original human nature. Therefore, being eager for quick success and quick success, doing things by hook or by crook, even if you achieve a temporary goal, will not last long, and will eventually be smarter than you and get a bad result. Then, in the face of such a stressful society, how can we not drift with the tide and lose ourselves? I think we really need to have a "do nothing" mentality. Don't rush to achieve anything, let nature take its course, do everything with a positive attitude, and don't care too much about the result, so there will be less competition between people. Everyone is just doing their own thing, and they won't care too much about getting less than others, which will virtually harmonize the relationship between people. Therefore, I think that the idea of "doing nothing without doing anything" has great guiding significance for us to improve personal cultivation and build a harmonious and peaceful social family. When society and people can really achieve such a harmonious state, there is nothing that cannot be done. Now our country has been advocating the establishment of a harmonious society, and it is this principle that we follow.

3. Nature gives people the enlightenment of "doing nothing without doing anything"

Everything in nature is the most precious and beautiful thing that God has given to mankind. We are in it every day, enjoying the infinite happiness brought by nature. However, with the progress of society, people's awareness of protecting nature is getting worse and worse, and they violate the laws of nature to transform it or even destroy it. We think we are the spirit of all things, we have thoughts and consciousness, we can create things and change things, so we think we are the masters of all things, we can command and instruct all things at will, dominate their growth and development, and enslave all things at will. How naive and ignorant this idea is! How sad this mentality is, alas! We don't know that we depend on everything to survive and develop. Everything provides us with vitality and energy. If we are really the masters of everything, then when we trample on everything, they can only submit to humiliation and dare not resist. But why are we retaliated by nature? For example, we cut down a lot of trees, destroy vegetation and cause soil erosion. As a result, the earth dried up, the rivers dried up, the wind raged, and yellow sand was everywhere. For another example, we cull wild animals at will, and some rare animals even become delicious food on our table, which leads to the deterioration of the living environment and the spread of a series of infectious diseases such as SARS. There are also the Wenchuan earthquake that shocked China and foreign countries, the rare snowstorm, the increasingly obvious temperature rise, etc. These are not the resistance made by nature to people. Therefore, we modern people should have the ideological realm of "doing nothing and doing everything", love and transform her according to the laws of nature, and don't make irregular transformation for temporary interests. Only in this way can nature give mankind a fresh and natural space.

Three. abstract

From the above analysis, we can clearly see that Laozi's aesthetic thought of "doing nothing and doing everything" is hidden in our lives and always guides our lives. We should better understand the mystery in our future study and life, have a peaceful heart, do everything with a "inaction" attitude, and finally achieve "inaction".
