"Tao Te Ching"
"Laozi" Chapter 1
Tao, can be Tao, but not Tao. Famous, very famous. Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth; Named, the mother of all things; therefore, there is always no desire to observe its wonders; there is always desire to observe its wonders. These two have the same origin but different names, and they are both called xuan. Mysterious and mysterious, the door to all mysteries.
Chapter 2 of "Laozi"
Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beautiful, but this is evil. Everyone knows that good is good, but this is not good. Therefore, existence and non-being arise from each other, difficulty and ease complement each other, long and short complement each other, high and low complement each other, sound and sound harmonize each other, and front and rear follow each other. Heng Ye. This is why the sage does nothing, and teaches without saying anything; all things are done without beginning, born without being, done without relying on them, and accomplished without living. I feel like I have no place to live, so I won’t go.
Chapter 3 of "Laozi"
If you don't respect the virtuous, the people will not fight; if you don't value hard-to-find goods, the people will not steal; if you don't see the desirable, the people will not be confused. This is how the sage governs: empty his heart, strengthen his belly, weaken his will, and strengthen his bones. Always make the people ignorant and desireless. A wise man would not dare to do anything. If you do nothing, everything will be cured.
Chapter 4 of "Laozi"
Tao rushes, but it may not be enough to use it. The abyss is like the ancestor of all things; dampen its sharpness and dissolve its confusion; harmonize with its light and dust; and the deepness is like or exist. I don't
I know whose son he is, the one who preceded Emperor Xiang.
Chapter 5 of "Laozi"
The heaven and the earth are unkind and regard all things as gullible dogs; the saints are unkind and regard the common people as gullible dogs. Between heaven and earth, is it like a quarrel? If it is empty but not controlled, it will become more active if it moves. It is better to stay in the middle than to learn too much.
Chapter 6 of "Laozi"
The immortality of the Grain God is called the mysterious female. The gate of Xuanfei is called the root of heaven and earth. If it is kept, it will not be used diligently.
"Laozi" Chapter 7
Eternal and everlasting. The reason why heaven and earth can be long-lasting is because they do not generate themselves, so they can live forever. Therefore, a sage: withdraw his body and put his body first; leave his body and keep his body. Isn’t it because of his selflessness? Therefore, it can be done privately.
"Laozi" Chapter 8
The best is like water. Water is good for all things without fighting, and is what everyone hates, so it is related to the Tao: dwelling, a good place; heart, a good abyss; harmony, a good benevolence; words, a good faith; government, a good governance; things, a good ability; action, a good time; husband, Just don’t fight, so there’s nothing special about it.
Chapter 9 of "Laozi"
If you hold on to it and make it full, it will not be as good as it is; if you hold on to it and sharpen it, you will not be able to maintain it for a long time. A house full of gold and jade cannot be guarded by anyone; if you are arrogant and wealthy, you will be blamed for it. The body retreats after the merits, which is the way of heaven.
Chapter 10 of "Laozi"
If Zai Ying Po hugs one another, can we be inseparable? Is it possible to be as soft as a baby by pulsing the qi? Is it possible to cleanse Xuanjian like a defective person? How can you know how to love the people and govern the country?
If the heavenly gate is open and closed, can it be considered a female? If you understand Sida, how can you not care about it? It is a living animal; it cannot exist when it is born; it cannot be relied on when it is done; it cannot be slaughtered when it grows up; this is called Xuande.
Chapter 11 of "Laozi"
Thirty spokes and one hub, treat them as nothing but for the use of a car. The 叟埴 is regarded as a utensil, but when it is not there, it is used as a utensil. Cutting out a door to make a room is as if it does not exist and it is used as a room. Therefore, if you have it, you will benefit from it, and if you don’t have it, you will use it.
"Laozi" Chapter 12
The five colors make one blind; the five tones make one deaf; the five tastes make one's mouth refresh; galloping and hunting make one's heart go crazy; rare goods make one walk harm. Therefore, the rule of the sage is to focus on the belly and not on the eyes, so go to the other and take this.
Chapter 13 of "Laozi"
Favours and humiliations are as scary as being frightened, and great troubles are as great as one's own. What does it mean to be favoured, humiliated or frightened? Pampering is the top, humiliation is the bottom. What you get is astonishing, and what you lose is astonishing. This is called favor and disgrace. What does it mean to be in great trouble? The reason why I have a serious patient is that I have a body, and I have no body. What trouble do I have? Therefore, if you value your body as a person in the world, you can send it to the world; if you love your body as a person, it can support the world.
Chapter 14 of "Laozi"
To see something but not see it is called Yi; to hear it but not be known is called Xi; to fight it but not be named Wei is called Wei. These three cannot be questioned, so they are mixed into one. The upper part is not bright, the lower part is not ignorant. The rope is nameless and returns to nothingness. It is called the state of being without form, the image of nothing, it is called trance. When you welcome someone, you don't see the first one, and when you follow it, you don't see the rear. Adhere to the ancient ways to control the present. Being able to know the beginning of ancient times is called Taoism.
Chapter 15 of "Laozi"
Those who were good at practicing Taoism in ancient times were subtle and profound and could not be discerned.
I can't recognize it, so I made it look like: when it's Yu, it's like wading through the river in winter; when it's still, it's like being afraid of its neighbors; when it's still, it's like a guest; when it's blurry, it's like being exposed; when it's calm, it's like a plain; when it's wide, it's like a valley; It's as if it's turbid; who can stop the turbidity and make it quiet and clear? Which one can be safe for a long time? How can it survive slowly? Those who protect this way do not want to be surplus. The husband is not full, so he can be covered and restored.
Chapter 16 of "Laozi"
Go to the extreme of emptiness and keep quiet. All things work together, and I watch their restoration. Husband, everything is in a cloud, and each one returns to its roots. Returning to the root is called tranquility, and tranquility is called returning to life. Returning to life is called Chang, knowing Chang is called Ming. I don't know how to be arrogant and do evil. Know that the appearance is constant, and the appearance is fair. Gong is Quan, Quan is Heaven, Heaven is Dao, Dao is Jiu, and the body is not destroyed.
Chapter 17 of "Laozi"
To be supreme, to be aware of it; secondly, to be close to it; secondly, to praise it; thirdly, to fear it; thirdly, to insult it. Therefore, if there is insufficient belief, how can there be disbelief? What a noble statement. When the success is achieved, the people all say, "It's natural for me."
Chapter 18 of "Laozi"
When the great righteousness is lost, there is benevolence and righteousness; when wisdom arises, there is great hypocrisy; when relatives are in discord, there is filial piety and kindness; when the country is in chaos, there are loyal ministers.
Chapter 19 of "Laozi"
If you abandon the sage and abandon wisdom, the people will benefit a hundred times; if you abandon the benevolent and righteous, the people will return to filial piety and kindness; if you abandon skill and profit, there will be no thieves. These three words were thought to be insufficient, so I ordered them to be of some description: See simplicity and be simple, have few selfish desires, and have no worries about learning.
Chapter 20 of "Laozi"
How different are Wei Zhi and Ah? What is the difference between beauty and evil? What people fear, we must not be afraid of. It’s desolate, but it’s not central! The crowd was bustling, as if they were enjoying being in a prison, or as if they were on stage in spring. I am alone, as if there is no sign; chaotic, like an unborn baby; tired, as if I have nowhere to go. Everyone has a surplus, but I am the only one left behind. I am a fool! Everyone is enlightened, but I am alone. Everyone is watching, but I am alone. It's as if it's the sea, it's as if it's endless. Everyone has it, but I am stubborn and despicable. I want to be unique from others, and I value my mother-in-law.
"Laozi" Chapter 21
Confucius' appearance can only be followed by Tao. Tao is a thing, but it is in a daze. In a trance, there are images in it; in a trance, there are things in it. The beauty is dark, but there is essence in it; the essence is so true, there is faith in it. From now on and from ancient times, his name will never go away, so that he can be read by many famous people. How can I know the status of all the masters? With this.
Chapter 22 of "Laozi"
"The crookedness is complete, the false is straight, the hollow is full, the hollow is new, the less is gained, and the more is confused." That's why. The sage holding one in his arms is the most common practice in the world. It is not self-seeing, so it is clear; it is not self-righteous, so it is manifest; it is not self-cutting, so it is meritorious; it is not self-respecting, so it is long-lasting. My husband does not fight, so no one in the world can fight with him. Is it true that the ancient saying that the music is complete is false? Return sincerely.
Chapter 23 of "Laozi"
I wish to speak naturally. The wind will last forever, and the rain will last all day. Who is this? world. Heaven and earth cannot last forever, how about humans? Therefore, those who practice Tao are the same as Tao; those who are virtuous are the same as virtue; those who lose are the same as loss. Those who are the same as Tao, Tao is also happy to gain it; those who are the same as virtue, virtue is also happy to gain it; those who are the same as loss, loss is also happy to gain it. If you don't have enough faith, you can't believe it.
Chapter 24 of "Laozi"
Those who strive for success will not be established; those who cross will not be able to do it; those who see themselves are unclear; those who are self-righteous will not manifest themselves; those who cut down on themselves have no merit; they are self-respecting. The person is not long. It's in the Tao, and it's called: surplus food. Things may be evil, so those who have the Tao will not live there.
"Laozi" Chapter 25
Things are mixed together, born innately and on earth. Silent and desolate, independent without changing, moving around without dying, she can be the mother of heaven and earth. I don't know its name, so the word "Qiang" is called Tao, and the name of "Qiang" is "Da". The big day is called passing, the passing day is said to be far away, and the far away day is called reverse. Therefore, the Tao is great, the sky is great, the earth is great, and the king is also great. There are four major ones in the domain, and humans live in one of them. The king follows the earth, the heaven, the heaven, the road, and nature.
"Laozi" Chapter 26
To be heavy is to light the roots, and to be quiet is to be impetuous. Therefore, a gentleman travels all day long without leaving his luggage. Although there is a view of glory, Yan is aloof. How can the Lord of all vehicles despise the world with his own body? If you are gentle, you will lose your roots; if you are impatient, you will lose your authority.
"Laozi" Chapter 27
Good deeds have no trace; good words have no flaws; good numbers do not require planning; good closure has nothing to do but cannot be opened; A good knot that cannot be untied without a rope. Therefore, the saint is always good at saving people, so he never abandons anyone; he is always good at saving things, so he never abandons anything. It is called Xi Ming. Therefore, those who are good are teachers of good people; those who are not good are the resources of good people. Not appreciating his teacher, not loving his talent, even though his wisdom is great and deluded, it is said that he wants to be wonderful.
"Laozi" Chapter 28
Knowing the male and guarding the female are the streams of the world. For the world's stream, constant virtue will never leave, and return to the baby.
Know its whiteness and guard its blackness, this is the way of the world. It is the style of the world, with constant virtue and endless virtue, and returns to the infinite. Knowing its glory and guarding its disgrace will be the valley of the world. For the valley of the world, constant virtue is sufficient, and return to simplicity. Pu San. If it is used by a sage, it will become a weapon; if a saint uses it, it will become an official, so the great system will not be cut off.
"Laozi" Chapter 29
I want to take over the world and do it, but I see that it is impossible to do so. It is a divine weapon in the world and cannot be used. Those who do it will fail, and those who insist will lose it. All things are either walking or following; they are either silent or blowing; they are bound or filed; they are cultivated or fallen. Therefore, the sage eliminates extremes, luxury, and tai.
Chapter 30 of "Laozi"
Use Dao to assist people, not use soldiers to strengthen the world. The matter is so far away; where the teacher is, there are thorns. After the army, there will be bad years. Therefore, those who are good at fighting will only get the results; do not seek to gain strength. If you are fruitful, don't be arrogant, if you are fruitful, don't be conceited, if you are fruitful, don't cut it down, if you are fruitful, don't take advantage of it. This means that if you are fruitful, you should not be strong. Things grow old when they are strong, which is called immorality, and immorality has already happened.
"Laozi" Chapter 31
The soldier is an unlucky weapon, something that may be evil, so there is no place for those who have the Tao. When a gentleman lives, he values ??the left; when using troops, he values ??the right. Therefore, soldiers are not the weapons of a gentleman, they are also a weapon of bad luck. The most beautiful thing is not to be beautiful. If it is beautiful, it will kill people. Fule kills people, so he cannot succeed in the world. Therefore, good things go to the left, and funeral things go to the right. Therefore, the general on the left is on the left, and the general on the right is on the right. It is said that they are placed in the funeral ceremony. Those who kill people should be mourned and wept. If they are defeated, they should be punished with funeral rites.
"Laozi" Chapter 32
Dao Heng is unknown and simple. Although he is small, he is a worthy minister in the world. If the princes and kings can guard it, all things will be safe. The heaven and the earth are united to bring down the dew; the people do not obey orders, but they are self-disciplined. There is a name in the beginning, and since the name is there, you will know how to stop, and know how to stop, so you are not in danger. For example, the Tao is in the world, just like the rivers and valleys are in the rivers and seas.
"Laozi" Chapter 33
Those who know others are wise, those who know themselves are wise; those who conquer others are powerful, those who conquer themselves are strong; those who are content are rich, those who force themselves are ambitious; Those who lose their place last a long time. He who dies but does not die will live longer.
Chapter 34 of "Laozi"
The great road is vast, and it can be controlled. Everything depends on it for its existence but cannot be named; success can be achieved but cannot be named. Clothes and coverings are all things, but not the main thing; then there is no desire, which can be called small. All things return, but it is impossible to know the owner; therefore, it is always nameless, but it can be called great. Therefore, the saint can become great because he is not great, so he can become great.
"Laozi" Chapter 35
Hold the elephant and the world will go. Go without harm, peace and peace. Pleasure and bait, passers-by stop. The words spoken by the Tao are bland and tasteless. Seeing is not enough to see, hearing is not enough to hear, and using it is not enough.
"Laozi" Chapter 36
If you want to eliminate it, you must strengthen it; if you want to weaken it, you must strengthen it; if you want to get rid of it, you must strengthen it If you want to take it away, you must give it to it. This is called twilight: softness overcomes hardness, and weakness overcomes strongness. Fish cannot be escaped from the abyss, and the sharp weapons of the state cannot be shown to others.
Chapter 37 of "Laozi"
The Tao is always inactive and does nothing. If the princes and kings can guard it, all things will transform themselves. If you want to transform it into something, I will suppress it with nameless simplicity. If you suppress it with nameless simplicity, your husband will not want it. If you don't want to be quiet, the world will be in order.
"Laozi" Chapter 38
To be virtuous is not virtuous, so it is virtuous; to be virtuous is not to be virtuous, so it is ungrateful. The superior virtue is inactive, but there is no thought; the inferior virtue is inactive, but there is thought. Superior benevolence does it, but there is no thought; superior justice does it, but there is thought. If you don't respond to the gift, you will throw it away. Therefore, losing virtue will lead to virtue, losing virtue will lead to benevolence, losing benevolence will lead to righteousness, and losing righteousness will lead to propriety. A husband who is polite and loyal has little loyalty and is the head of chaos. Foreknowledge is the brilliance of Tao and the beginning of foolishness. Therefore, a true man should be concerned with what is good and not what is weak; he should be concerned with truth and not be concerned with luxury. So go to that one and take this one.
"Laozi" Chapter 39
In the past, those who obtained one were: Heaven obtained one, with purity; Earth obtained one, with tranquility; God obtained one, with spirit; Grain If you get one, you will have surplus; if you get one, you will think that the world is right. The reason for this is that if the sky cannot be clear, it will burst into pieces; if the earth cannot be calm, it will burst; if the gods cannot have spirit, it will fear to rest; if the grain cannot be filled, it will become exhausted; if all things cannot grow, it will be exhausted. , the general will be feared to be destroyed; if the prince and king fail to act righteously, the general will be feared to collapse. Therefore, nobility must be based on lowliness, and high and low must be the foundation. Therefore, the princes and kings claimed to be lonely, widowed, and without grain. Is it based on being cheap? Not really? Therefore, there are several public opinion, but no public opinion. Therefore, I don’t want to be as beautiful as jade or as rough as stone.
Chapter 40 of "Laozi"
Those who are contrary are the movement of Tao; those who are weak are the use of Tao. All things in the world are born from being, and being is born from nothing.
"Laozi" Chapter 41
When a superior man hears the Tao, he practices it diligently; when a sergeant hears the Tao, he lives or perishes; when a junior man hears the Tao, he laughs. Smiling is not enough for the Tao. Therefore, it is suggested that there is a saying: the clear path is like ignorance; the advance path is like retreat; the barbaric path is like □ (on the right is a page character, on the upper left is a karma character and below is a tie character); the superior virtue is like a valley; the broad virtue is like insufficient; build virtue. Ruohua; the quality is as true as Chongqing; the clarity is as humiliating; the magnanimity has no corners; the great talent comes late; the great sound is astonishing; the elephant is invisible; the Tao is nameless. The husband is the only Taoist, good at beginning and good at completion.
"Laozi" Chapter 42
Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things bear yin and embrace yang, and the energy is in harmony. What people hate is being lonely, widowed, and destitute, and princes and princes call themselves such. Old things may be damaged and benefited, or they may be benefited and lost. What people teach is also discussed and taught. "Those who are strong will not be allowed to die!" I will regard you as my master.
"Laozi" Chapter 43
The most soft in the world is the strongest in the world. Nothingness enters into non-existence; I think it is beneficial to know nothingness. The benefits of teaching without words and doing nothing can only be achieved in the world.
"Laozi" Chapter 44
Who is related to name and body? Which one is more, body or goods? Gain or loss, which one is sick? If you love too much, you will spend a lot; if you hide too much, you will perish. Therefore, being contented, not humiliated, knowing how to stop, not dying, can last a long time.
"Laozi" Chapter 45
If a great achievement is lacking, its use will not be harmful. If there is a big surplus, it will be of endless use. It's as straight as a confession, and it's as blunt as an argument. Great skill is like clumsiness, its use is unyielding, restlessness overcomes cold, tranquility overcomes heat, tranquility can bring justice to the world.
Chapter 46 of "Laozi"
There is a way in the world, but it is a waste of time. There is no way in the world, and soldiers and horses are born in the suburbs. There is no sin greater than desire, no disaster greater than dissatisfaction; no blame lies in being ignorant of desire. Therefore, knowing what is enough is always enough.
Chapter 47 of "Laozi"
You can know the world without leaving home; you can know the way of heaven by not peeking into the window. Its journey is far away and its knowledge is limited. This is because the sage knows without walking, understands without seeing, and does it without doing.
Chapter 48 of "Laozi"
As a scholar, you will get better and better, but as a Taoist, you will lose. Damage it and damage it, so that you can do nothing, and if you do nothing, you can do everything. Those who want to conquer the world will always have nothing to do. Even if you have something to do, it is not enough to conquer the world.
Chapter 49 of "Laozi"
The sage always has no heart and takes the hearts of the people as his heart. Those who are good are good, and those who are not good are also good, and they are good. Those who believe believe it, and those who don’t believe it also believe it. You have to believe it. The sage is in harmony with the world, and the world is pure and clear. The common people pay attention to his ears and eyes, and the saints all pay attention to him.
Chapter 50 of "Laozi"
From birth to death. Three out of ten people are alive; three out of ten people are dead; and the life of the people comes from life. There are three out of ten cases where everything will die. Why? Because of its richness. Gai heard that those who are good at preserving life will not encounter tigers when traveling on land, and will not be attacked by armored soldiers when entering the army; tigers will not throw their horns at them, tigers will not spare their claws, and soldiers will not tolerate their blades. Why? Because of its immortality.
"Laozi" Chapter 51
Tao is born, virtue is the animal, things are shaped, and utensils are made. Therefore, all things respect Tao and value virtue. The respect of Tao is also the nobility of virtue, and the title of Fu Mo is noble. And it is always natural. Therefore, the Tao gives birth to it, the virtuous animal brings it, the growth brings it up, the pavilion measures it, and the nourishment covers it. You can't live without it, you can't rely on it when you do it, you can't kill it when you grow up. It is called Xuande.
Chapter 52 of "Laozi"
The world has a beginning, so it can be the mother of the world. Having obtained its mother, it is possible to know its son; If you keep your money shut, you will never work hard for the rest of your life. Open it up and help it, but you will not save it for the rest of your life. See small and say bright, keep soft and say strong. Use its light to restore its brightness without leaving any physical consequences. This is the normal practice.
Chapter 53 of "Laozi"
It makes me know clearly and walk on the great road, only to be fearful. The roads are barren, but the people like them. The dynasty is very clean, the fields are very barren, and the warehouses are very empty; if you are talented in literature and bring a sword, if you are tired of food and drink, and have excess wealth, this is called stealing Yu. Stealing a Yu is not a thief!
Chapter 54 of "Laozi"
Those who are good at building will never pull up, those who are good at embracing will not take off, and descendants will continue to offer sacrifices.
If you cultivate your body, your virtue will be true; if you cultivate your family, your virtue will be residual; if you cultivate your hometown, your virtue will be long; if you cultivate your country, your virtue will be abundant; if you cultivate the world, your virtue will be pure. Therefore, observe the body with the body, observe the family with the family, observe the town with the town, observe the state with the state, and observe the world with the world. How can I know what is going on in the world? With this.
Chapter 55 of "Laozi"
Those who are virtuous are better than those who are innocent. Bees, darters, and snakes cannot be stung, and snatching birds and fierce beasts cannot be stung. The bones are weak and the muscles are soft, but the grip is strong. The meeting of the male and female is unknown, and the anger of the male and female is the result of the arrival of the spirit. The whole day is called, without wailing, and it is harmonious. Jinghe is called Chang, Zhichang is called Ming, Yisheng is called Xiang, and the heart's Qi is called Qiang. Things grow old when they are strong, which is called immorality, but they have already been immoral.
"Laozi" Chapter 56
Those who know cannot speak, and those who speak cannot understand. Stop its dui, close its door; dampen its sharpness, dissolve its confusion, harmonize its light, and be the same as its dust; this is called Xuantong. Therefore, we cannot get close to each other, nor can we get close to each other, nor can we get close to each other, nor can we get benefit from it, nor can we get it to harm us.
Chapter 57 of "Laozi"
Rule the country with integrity, use military force with surprise, and conquer the world with nothing. How do I know this? In this way: There are many taboos in the world, but the people are poor; there are many sharp weapons among the people, but the state has become comatose; the people have many wisdom, but evil deeds have flourished; laws and regulations have flourished, but there are many thieves. Therefore, in the words of the sage: "I do nothing, and the people become themselves; I like to be quiet, and the people are upright; I do nothing, and the people become rich; I have no desires, and the people are simple."
Chapter 58 of "Laozi"
The government is boring, but the people are honest, the government is insecure, but the people are deficient. When misfortunes come, blessings depend on them; when blessings come, misfortunes fall upon them. Who knows the extreme? There is no good or evil in it? What is right becomes strange, what is good becomes a coat. People have been confused for a long time. Therefore, the sage is square but not cutting, honest but not prudent, straight but not unruly, bright but not dazzling.
Chapter 59 of "Laozi"
When it comes to governing people and heaven, nothing should be done more than being stingy. The husband is stingy, so he takes it early. Taking it early means accumulating virtue. If you focus on accumulating virtue, you will be able to overcome everything. If there is nothing that cannot be overcome, then don’t know its extreme; if you don’t know its extreme, you can have a country. The mother of a nation can last forever. Deepening one's roots and solidifying one's foundation is the way to long-lasting longevity.
Chapter 60 of "Laozi"
Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes. When the Tao comes to the world, its ghosts are not gods. It is neither a ghost nor a god, and its gods will not hurt people. Neither gods nor saints will harm others. Husbands and wives do not hurt each other, so their virtues return to each other.
Chapter 61 of "Laozi"
Those who are in great states are inferior, and the women of the world are the friends of the world. The female is always superior to the male with her tranquility, and the male is inferior to her with her tranquility. If a small state is below a big state, then it is a small state; if a small state is below a big state, then it is a big state. Therefore, you can either go down to get it, or you can go down and get it. Therefore, a big country only wants to be a domestic and a human being; a small country only wants to be a foreigner. If everyone gets what they want, the big one should be the next one.
"Laozi" Chapter 62
The Tao is the foundation of all things, the maintenance of good people, and the maintenance of bad people. Good words can attract people, and good deeds can attract people. If people are not good, why abandon them? Therefore, when the emperor is established and the three princes are installed, even if they have arches and jade, it is not as good to sit in this way before riding horses. Why was this Tao valued in ancient times? Isn’t it said that if you ask, you will receive, and if you are guilty, you will avoid evil? Therefore, it is noble in the world.
"Laozi" Chapter 63
To do nothing, to do nothing, to have no taste. Size, number, complaint, virtue. If the picture is difficult, it will be easy; if it is big, it will be small; if the world is difficult, it will be easy; if the world is big, it will be small. Therefore, the saint is not great in the end, so he can become great. If a husband makes a light promise, he will be distrustful; he will be in trouble. Therefore, it is still difficult for the sage, so it will not be difficult in the end.
"Laozi" Chapter 64
It is easy to maintain its security, and it is easy to plan when it is not foreboding. It is brittle and easy to judge, and its texture is easy to fall apart. Treat it before it is disordered, and govern it before it is disordered. The tree that hugs each other is born from the smallest grain of wood; the 90% platform begins from tired soil; a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Those who do it will fail, and those who insist will lose it. This is because the sage has no motives and therefore has no failures, and has no attachments and therefore has no failures. The people's work always depends on success and failure. Therefore, it is said: If the end is as careful as the beginning, there will be no failure. Therefore, the sage does not desire what he desires, and does not value hard-to-find goods; whether he learns or not, he repeats the mistakes of others. To supplement the nature of all things, I dare not do it.
Chapter 65 of "Laozi"
Those who were good in ancient times would not enlighten the people, but they would make them stupid. The people are difficult to govern because of their wisdom. Therefore, if you govern a country with knowledge, you will be a traitor to the country; if you do not govern a country with knowledge, you will be a traitor to the country. Knowing these two, you can also understand the style. Hengzhijishi is called Xuande. Xuande is profound and far-reaching, contrary to things, and even great.
Chapter 66 of "Laozi"
The reason why Jianghai can be called the King of Hundreds of Grains is because he is good at dealing with it. Therefore, if a saint wishes to reach the people, he must follow his example; if he wishes to lead the people, he must follow his example. The former residence is on top and the people do not care about it. The former residence is on the front and the people do not harm it. The world is happy to push but not tired of it. Unless there is no competition, no one in the world can compete with him.
"Laozi" Chapter 67
Everyone in the world calls me big, but I am too big to be worthy. My husband is unworthy. Therefore, if it is big, if it is small, it will be small for a long time! I always have the Three Treasures, hold on to them and protect them. The first is compassion, the second is frugality, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world. A husband is kind, so he can be brave; he is thrifty, so he can be broad; he dare not be the first in the world, so he can become a leader. Now, if you give up your kindness, you will be brave; if you give up your frugality, you will be broad; if you give up your frugality, you will be first; if you give up your behind, you will be first; then you will surely die! A kind husband will win by fighting, and he will be strong by guarding. Heaven will build it with kindness and perseverance.
"Laozi" Chapter 68
Those who are good at being soldiers do not use force, those who are good at fighting do not get angry, those who are good at defeating the enemy do not suffer, and those who are good at using others are subordinate. This is called the virtue of not fighting, it is called using people's strength, it is called cooperating with heaven; it is the ultimate in ancient times.
"Laozi" Chapter 69
There is a saying about using troops: "I dare not be the master, but a guest; I dare not advance an inch, but retreat a foot." : There is no way to move, no arms to fight, no soldiers to hold, and no enemy to throw. There is no greater disaster than underestimating the enemy. Underestimating the enemy will cost us our treasure. Therefore, if the resistance is equal, the one who mourns will win.
"Laozi" Chapter 70
My words are easy to understand and easy to do. But no one in the world can know it, and no one can do it. Words have a lineage, and affairs have a king. I am ignorant, because I don’t know. Those who know me are grateful, then I am noble. Therefore, the saint is brown but has jade.
"Laozi" Chapter 71
Knowing or not is still a matter of course. If you don’t know, you are sick. Wu Wei is sick, so he is not sick. The sage is not sick because he is sick because he is not sick.
"Laozi" Chapter 72
If the people are not afraid of authority, great authority will prevail. No matter where they live, no matter where they live. I never get tired of it, so I never get tired of it. Therefore, the sage knows himself but does not see himself, loves himself but does not value himself. So go from that and take this.
"Laozi" Chapter 73
If you are brave, you will kill; if you are brave, you will live. Both of these may be beneficial or harmful. Who knows why Heaven is evil? The way of heaven is to be good at winning without fighting, to respond well without speaking, to come without being called, to be calm but good at planning. The sky net is vast, sparse but not lost.
"Laozi" Chapter 74
The people are not afraid of death, so how can they be afraid of death? If the people are constantly afraid of death, and if someone is found strange, I will kill them, who dares? There are always those who kill and kill. The husband who kills is the one who kills on behalf of the great craftsman. If you are a great craftsman in my husband's generation, I hope your hands will not be hurt.
"Laozi" Chapter 75
The people are hungry because of the large food tax. The people who are difficult to treat are those who have done something for them, and that is why they are difficult to treat. The people despise the dead because they use it to seek benefits for their lives. This is how they despise death. The husband who has nothing to do with life is a wise man who values ??life.
"Laozi" Chapter 76
Man is weak in life, and strong in death. Plants and trees are soft and brittle when they are alive, and they are withered when they die. Therefore, it is said: Those who are strong are the disciples who die, and those who are weak are the disciples who live. Therefore, if the army is strong, it will be invincible; if the wood is strong, it will be defeated. Therefore, the strong is at the bottom and the weak is at the top.
Chapter 77 of "Laozi"
Is the way of heaven like a bow? Those who are high will suppress it, those who are low will lift it, those who have more will lose it, and those who are deficient will make up for it. The way of heaven is to make up for the excess if there is damage; but this is not the case with the way of man, to make up for the excess if there is not enough damage. Who can sacrifice the rest to serve the world? Only the Taoist. Therefore, a saint cannot exist, and a successful person cannot live. If this is the case, one does not want to see a virtuous person.
"Laozi" Chapter 78
No one in the world is softer than water, and no one can attack the strong first, because it is impossible to defeat them. The soft is stronger than the strong, and the weak is stronger than the strong. Everyone in the world knows this. But Mo Zhi can do it. Therefore, the sage said: "To accept the criticism of the country, he is the master of the country; to accept the misfortune of the country, he is the king of the world." It is true to say the opposite.
"Laozi" Chapter 79
If you reconcile a big grievance, there will always be residual grievances. How can you do good? Therefore, the sage holds the left contract and does not blame others. Therefore, there is Desi Qi, but there is no Desi Che. Husband has no relatives in heaven, but always associates with good people.
Chapter 80 of "Laozi"
A small country has few people; it has a few weapons but does not use them; it makes the people die again but does not move far away; although there are boats and carriages, There is nothing to ride on; although there are armored soldiers, there is nothing to display them; let the people knot the ropes again and use them. At the end of the day, the people enjoy their food, dress well, live in their customs, and enjoy their careers. Neighboring countries look at each other, hear the sound of cocks and dogs, and the people do not interact with each other until they grow old and die.
"Laozi" Chapter 81
Trustful words are not beautiful, and beautiful words are not believed. A good person does not argue, and a person who debates is not good. A person who knows is not knowledgeable, and a person who is knowledgeable does not know. The sage has no accumulation; when he considers others, he has more; when he gives to others, he has more.
Therefore, the way of heaven is to benefit but not to harm; the way of man is to do it without fighting.
