“Dao” refers to the noumenon; “One,” “Two,” “Three” in the “Dao De Jing” refer to many kinds of independent existence. This paper would argue that the “Dao” cannot produce “One,” and “One” cannot produce “Two.” So, we should realize that the main relation between any independent existence should be the force effected to each other. There are two production ways of the force: One is the external force stated in the study of the physical science; another is from the contradiction within a body, as the demonstration in this paper.
