Chapter 289 Chapter 288(2/2)

Suddenly Master Sun thought of the last sentence, only Tao can make all things start well and end well. If virtue is not enough, then we should do our best and only seek good beginnings and good ends.

However, Master Sun did not say it right away, but thought about other interpretations.

In fact, different people have different views on these ancient books. Even the word "Guangde" in Wei Guangde's name has slightly different interpretations.

However, whether it is understood as "the vastness of virtue is not enough", or "the vastness of virtue is not enough, it is invisible and cannot be filled", or "it is vast and cannot be added, it stops here and is not extensive", in fact the difference is not big.

, all imply that Guangde is not easy and is difficult to achieve.

Since it's difficult to do, it's better to start well and end well.

The husband is just a Taoist, he is good at lending and he succeeds.

The meaning of lending, giving, and giving is explained in Wang Bi's Commentary on the Tao Te Ching:

"All these good things are the result of Tao. In terms of images, they are elephants, but elephants are invisible. In terms of sounds, they are big sounds, and big sounds sound. Things are made of them, but their formation is not seen, so

Hidden and nameless.

A loan is not just to provide for what is lacking, but a loan is sufficient to end its virtue forever, so it is called a good loan. It does not add the craftsman's cutting, and there is nothing but its shape, so it is called a good loan."

After a long silence, Master Sun finally said something that no one else understood.

"Lending is not just to provide for one's shortcomings. One loan is enough to last forever, so it is called a good loan."

Having said this, Master Sun looked at Wei Guangde who was toasting at the table outside and whispered to Mr. Wei: "Let's call it 'good loan'. I hope that even if Guangde is not good enough, he will always be virtuous."

Although Wei Guangde was not here, and it was not Wei Guangde who said it, it is impossible for Wei Guangde not to know about such a big thing as picking the words.

Now that we know that the Wei family has chosen to believe in themselves, there is nothing to say. Master Sun can just tell them his choice.

Of course, Master Sun would not explain the specific thinking process. He only needed to let Wei Guangde know the sentence he read. Wei Guangde should have understood the meaning of "good loan" because of his intelligence.
