The sentence "Only after investigating the source can one first realize the truth" is from the book "Ming Tao" by Wang Weiyi of the Yuan Dynasty. It means that only when the source is investigated can the truth of the Way be realized. This "Tao" refers to the Taoist teachings of Laozi.

In fact, on the road of philosophical exploration, not only is it necessary to "investigate the root and exhaust the source to obtain the truth", but also on the road of searching for truth, there should be the spirit of "investigate the root and exhaust the source to obtain the truth", otherwise, we will not obtain the truth. "Otherwise, one will not obtain the truth.

The phrase "the truth is found when you look at the source" is a philosophical epistemological question.It means that when one recognizes things, one must seek the cause and effect relationship of the matter, and clarify the origin of things and the inner relationship between things. Only by recognizing things in this way can one find the fundamental problem of things and the true meaning of their formation.

Horse and Cow (web photo)

For example, a horse found a rich meadow and used to come here to get a full meal.A big buffalo found out the secret and often ran to graze even when the horse was not looking. When the horse found out, he felt that the buffalo was encroaching on his territory and wanted to take revenge on him, but there was nothing he could do about it. So he asked for help. The man said, "O horse, there is nothing I can do, unless I bridle you and I ride you, so that I can catch up with him and punish him." As a result, the man rode the horse and punished the big buffalo, but the horse was also bolted to the trough. The horse eventually woke up to the fact that trying to get revenge for the slightest thing will eventually lead to slavery.

This incident tells us that the horse is paranoid in its perception of the big buffalo that stole his grass.It looks at the problem from the standpoint of self, without seeing the origin and true meaning of the problem, and without realizing that there will be bad consequences that will be unfavorable to it. This is a failure to utilize the epistemology of "the source of the problem is the truth", and inadvertently, one's own head is bolted to the groove, and one loses one's freedom, and one loses a great deal because of a small amount of money.

"Getting to the bottom of it" (web photo)

In short, we should not be limited to the Yuan Dynasty Wang only on the "Tao" understanding, but to jump out of the box, standing in a broader philosophical epistemological theory height, to understand the profound meaning of "the origin of the study of the source of the first true".

To get to the bottom of the root of the matter, to get to the true meaning, to use 'the root of the matter to get to the true source' to describe the creation of metrical poetry, that is, proximate poetry, on the basis of ancient poetry is undoubtedly a success.

The first point, to make the ancient style of poetry more fluent, drawing on the sound of the grassland exuberant hoof rhyme, and set the tone of the metrical poetry of the level of the two alternating new rules, the sublimation of the beauty of rhyme.

The second point is that the two lines of a couplet, the corresponding position of the upper and lower lines of the couplet is the opposite (rhymes with other things), concave and convex mosaic, yin and yang, in line with the objective law.

The third point is that the two neighboring couplets stick to each other and keep the inertia.

The above three points may be close to the poem (metered verse) in the ancient style of poetry on the basis of the sublimation, is the progress and a higher level of inheritance and development. 如李贺作句'雄鸡一唱天下白'，平平平仄平仄仄，而毛主席改句为'一唱雄鸡天下白'，(平)仄平平平仄仄，平仄相替得当，朗朗上口。

Beginner's experience in metrical poetry, please advise!

The study of texts and textual basis to get the true and original meaning and theory. This is the meaning of Joan Hatamoto's words.

The poor, the depth of the meaning of exploration, the source of the meaning of the origin of things, the true, the meaning of the law of the correct development of things, "Zhuangzi - Fisherman's Father": the true, the sincerity of the most also. The meaning is to explore deeply the original appearance of things and get the correct development law.

Song Mingxiology, talking about Zhi Zhi in Ge Shi, is the ancient practice of the theory of poor origin, repeated exploration, in the critique of the surface phenomena of things aside, seeking its own reasoning after the recovery of its true, which is through the poor that the poor reason to realize the poor its origin of the method of the path, in fact, the reason is very simple, the contemporary society, the competitiveness of young people from the society and family and so on a lot of pressure, will always try to realize the merits of fame and fortune through a shortcut! Inevitably, the mood of impatience, quick success, it is difficult to sit on the bench, research in a certain field, for example, an academic research talent, the funds invested in a lot of money to do the last but was exposed to academic fraud, the root cause is the spirit of decadence in the exploration of the poor its origin is not enough power.

The Chinese nation has a long history, quality culture abounds, we say, the poor origin is the ultimate goal, that is, the poor reason is the realization of the method, understand this aspect of the ancient philosophical thinking, and then make good use of it, I believe, can be fully established a good state of learning and the spirit of exploration!

Get to the bottom of this to know why!

Seeing through the phenomena to the inner nature of things.

Think deeper to trace the laws of things.

Only in this way can true knowledge be gained.

In the phrase "to inquire into the root and to exhaust the source of the truth", "to inquire into the root and to exhaust the source of the truth" means "to inquire into the root and to exhaust the source of the truth"; and "to obtain the truth" means "to obtain the clarity". "to get to the truth" means "to get to the truth".

It is only that the "beginning to be true" is more profound than the "square to be clear", that is, it is a true understanding of the nature of things and the relationship between cause and effect. But "Fang De Ming" is to understand the relationship between the phenomenon and the result of things. The relationship between cause and effect is generally understood.

Wang Weiyi, a native of the Yuan Dynasty, known as Jingyangzi, wrote Mingdao Chuan and Daofa Xinzhuan. Included in the Dao Collection, his poetic tenets are revealed to be far superior to those of Langranzi.

The book "Mingdao" says: "Learning the Way is first to understand the essence of the spirit, to complete the three things of the Way, to say that there are no words are all delusional, and to investigate the source of the source to obtain the truth." Among them, to investigate the root and exhaust the source to get the truth means to thoroughly investigate the root in order to obtain the truth of seeking the Way.

"The truth can be obtained only by exploring the source", meaning that it is only by exploring the origin of things and clarifying the ins and outs of things that one can obtain true knowledge and grasp the regularities. How to investigate the source? Correct and appropriate ways and means is the key. For example:

First, think independently.There is no one in the world who can do a good job if he or she follows others' words and picks up others' ideas without any opinion, or if he or she follows others' words and blindly follows the trend of the others. If you can try to play a positive or negative side of a matter, and list the facts and reasons to refute one by one, perhaps it will deepen the understanding of the matter, so as to improve their own views. Independent thinking can make a career, so that it is deeply imprinted on their own; even if the "failure" is also tragic, can obtain enough useful experience and lessons, and for their own acceptance.At no time should a person lack the spirit of independent thinking. Questioning is the best place to start.

Second, be knowledgeable.The Book of Rites - Zhongyong:"Learning by erudition, questioning by scrutiny, thinking by prudence, discerning by clarity, and practicing by diligence.There are those who do not learn, and those who do not learn are not able to learn, and those who do not learn are not able to learn, and those who do not learn. If you do not ask, you will not know, and you will not know. If you do not think, you will not be able to think, and you will not be able to do anything. If one does not discern, if one does not discern, one does not know, one does not know. If you do not act, you will not be sure of what you are doing, and you will not do it. If a person can do it, he or she can do it; if a person can do it, he or she can do it. If you are able to do this, you will be clear even though you are stupid, and you will be strong even though you are soft."With the spirit of "breaking the casserole to the end" and perseverance, we can "blow through the yellow sand to reach the gold".

Thirdly, it is inclusive.If Newton wanted to think, he had to stand on the shoulders of giants; without the giants, Newton's thinking was meaningless. Generations of people have groped, experimented, absorbed and learned from the experiences and lessons of their predecessors, and only then has the depth, breadth and thickness of knowledge, or the temple of knowledge, stood today.What we need to do is not to start all over again, but to stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before us and continue to make a small "marginal contribution".

The key to "getting the real thing" lies in having a good "formula" and a real approach.If you think independently, study extensively, make detailed inquiries, identify clearly, and put them into practice, you will surely be able to reach a state where you can investigate the origin of all things and realize what you once thought to be "impossible"!

From Wang Weiyi: The Way of Light

To learn the Way, one must first understand the essence of the spirit, and to realize the three things of the Way is the only way to be close to it. To say that there is nothing to say is all delusional, but to investigate the source of the source is the only true.

The center is not partial to a single thought, and the circle is clear and free from dust. If you can still realize this mystery, all the three religions will come together in me.
