摘　　要：Laozi’s concept of desire has rich ideological connotations,not only referring to reducing personal desires.Laozi’s concept of desire is based on“desire”as human nature,acknowledging the legitimacy and necessity of desire and demand.The rational criticism of“having desire”formed by“no desire”is the value pursuit of Laozi’s concept of desire.From both personal physical and mental aspects and social order,“no desire”plays an important guiding role.Nature is the essence of Laozi’s concept of desire,and being in harmony with nature is the best state of desire.Laozi’s concept of desire reveals a deep spirit of love,and the“ethics of love”highlights Laozi’s strong sense of care for the“other”and ethical attitude towards responsibility.Laozi’s contemplation of desire contains a strong humanistic spirit,with the aim of promoting the healthy and sustainable development of life and society.
