略论老子的"弱用之术

On Lao Zi's "the Use of Soft Measures

在我国春秋战国时期,老子认为世界的本原是道,提出"弱用之术"。他遵循"反者道之动"的规律,采取"弱者道之用"的原则,提出"柔弱胜刚强"的观点,使处在不同阶段的人和集体都可以以"弱"为手段达到"强"的目的。这种"进道若退"的方法虽有一定消极影响,但对现今社会人们生存处世仍有其积极意义。

In the Chinese Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Lao Zhi thought that the laws were the origin of all, putting forward a theory of ' the use of soft measures.' In accordance with the laws that 'Reversion is the movement of the Law, and with the principle that 'Softness is the application of the Law,' Lao Zhi proposed that the view of 'The soft and the tendercan overcome the hard and the strong' so that the individuals and groups were able to achieve the goal of being the strong by means of softness. Though the method of ' The law that advances seems to retreat' has a negative influence, yet it is instructive for the people to survive and communicate in the present- society.
