"Using no way as way, having no limitation as limitation." (English is Using no way as way, having no limitation as limitation.) These twelve words are Bruce Lee's description of the Jeet Kune Do martial art he created. A high-level summary of academic and philosophical thoughts. Although many people have seen this sentence and many people talk about it, not many people truly understand these twelve words.

Bruce Lee himself was a mixed race, but as a real "person" he traveled more around the world, opened his eyes to see the world, accepted the world and even changed the world in a sense. He was born in the United States, spent his childhood in Hong Kong, went to university and had his family in the United States, and his career took off and flourished in Hong Kong. This kind of life allowed him to receive education from the East and West successively, and make friends with great people from all over the world. At the same time, he was influenced by Eastern and Western cultures, making him a person who completely belonged to the world. Bruce Lee majored in philosophy at university. He loved Lao Tzu from the East and the classical philosophy of Buddhism. He admired Sartre from France and Nietzsche from Germany. Therefore, Bruce Lee's philosophy was the product of the collision of Eastern and Western cultures and a perfect combination of Eastern and Western cultures.

Laozi believes that "Tao" is the root of heaven and earth and the foundation of all things. The ultimate essence of "Tao" is "nature". Laozi advocates "natural inaction", that is, "do nothing but do nothing, and do nothing without governing." ", telling us that we should not violate the laws of nature when we behave and do things, return to the innocence and innocence of a human being, and express our true self without pretense; in governing the country, we do not need to intentionally be benevolent and righteous, nor should we give orders at will and let others do it. It exists and develops naturally, and achieves the goal of “I do nothing and the people transform themselves”. In the eyes of Buddhism, life is suffering, and the root of suffering is "craving", that is, desire. To get rid of suffering, you must cut off the heart of desire, eliminate all greed, anger and ignorance, and achieve "Nirvana" where there is no suffering and stability, and all worries are blown away. "realm.

Completely different from this idea of ??"inaction" and "transcendence" is Nietzsche's "Superman Philosophy". He advocated the will to power and shouted "God is dead". His philosophy is that of the strong. People should pursue power and have the desire to dominate themselves, others, and the world. Only those who can realize the will to power to the greatest extent can be called supermen. Superman creates history, dominates the trend of history, and drives the progress of history. Historically, only a few geniuses and artists have reached superhuman status.

Maybe now you understand these twelve words. Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do philosophy is a combination of these ideas, but it is not a simple patchwork. The thoughts of Lao Tzu, Buddhism and Nietzsche all have their brilliance, but they also have their passive side and various loopholes. Bruce Lee absorbed the essence of their thoughts, abandoned their fallacies and irrationality, and broke through their limitations. , making them harmoniously unified and perfectly embodied.

Bruce Lee was a philosophical martial artist, or a philosopher whose profession was martial arts. He used martial arts to explain philosophy. So we can understand this sentence from the perspective of martial arts, and then extend it to life and life. There are too many requirements and standards in traditional martial arts: punches must come from the waist, horse stance and lunges must be performed in a decent manner, and there are countless routines. Jeet Kune Do is to break through these traditions and forms, and let The body and mind are liberated from these dogmas that violate the laws of nature and suppress individuality, and use human instinct to express their true self to respond to changing actual situations. This is "taking the impossible as a law". "Using the infinite as the finite" focuses more on Nietzsche's "Superman" philosophy, breaking through physical and mental limitations and achieving unrestrained, free and uninhibited. As far as Bruce Lee himself was concerned, he also achieved "Superman". It can be seen that the profound meaning of these two sentences (of course, there is no in-depth analysis here) is consistent, and they are not a simple combination. It cannot be said that the first half of the sentence is Lao Tzu's Buddhist thought and the second half is Nietzsche.

Bruce Lee's philosophy can be summarized as follows: break through tradition and form, do not believe in authority, liberate thoughts from established rules and regulations, let them flow freely, understand themselves, pursue themselves, express their individuality, and be serious Work hard to improve yourself, express yourself truly, realize yourself through struggle, and realize the value and meaning of life.
