Abstract

It is undoubted that Lao Zi's thoughts are based on Taoism.Based on the analysis of the text,it is thought that Taoism denotes not only its source,its root,but also its register.In the register of Taoism,everything in its disclosure is exposing its own nature and developing independently.It stands to reason that mankind,as the lord of creation,behave on the principles of Taoism and morality and in the way of Sun so that all the people can be well versed in Taoism and living on the principle of Taoism.If so,the people in the world will be open-minded to expose their own nature thoroughly.This is the right final aim Lao Zi was seeking for,which can be called exposition of one's own nature.
