Relation between "Tao" and the creation of "all things on earth"

Qiuyan Zhang

Abstract

The purpose that Laozi talked of Tao is not to talk of Taoitself,but to lay a foundation for things on earth and man's social being by expatiating on the characteristics of Tao.Everything is created by TaoandTao embodies its attributes in everything.However,Plato is different from Laozi's on the side of contexts and hypothesis about the realation between Ideaand all things on earth.Consequently,I think that the particiatein the context of Plato cannt be simply used when explaining the relation between Laozi's Taoand all things on earth.
