To further discuss the concept of the life of Laozi, the authors, starting from Tao's nothing state, explain Laozi's “thing should return to its origin” through the hermeneutic method. The authors think that the life from Tao sends, while leaves which goes, also turns over to, and “dies” by life. In this significance, the life belongs to Tao's “regression its”, i.e. the life from Tao sends, while leaves which goes, also turns over to, and “dies” by life. Therefore, from “thing” in the significance, it is said that “regression its” constitutes the life “the thing” to return to by Tao outside to have the thing condition, to have Tao of the thing, and by Tao outside thing transformation for Tao in thing. But from the basic significance, “regression its” seeks for the life dies it “infinite”.
