Twilight Volume Seven (Excerpt)
Chunqiu·Xinqiu
Laozi (referring to Wenzi) said: Dao can be weak, strong, soft, rigid, yin, yang, secluded, clear, can envelop the heaven and the earth, and can be unrestricted (restrictions). Knowing is shallow and knowing is deep, knowing is not knowing, knowing is not knowing, knowing is not knowing, knowing is not knowing, not knowing is knowing, knowing "knowing is not knowing, not knowing is knowing"! Husband and Tao are inaudible (same as "asking"), but not by smell; Tao is not visible, not by seeing; Tao cannot be spoken, not by words, and who knows "the invisible in form"! Therefore, "all the world knows that good is good, and it is not good! Those who know do not speak, but those who speak do not know."
Wenzi (king of Chu Ping) asked: Can people say nothing?
Lao Tzu said: Why not? Only know what it means! What the husband knows what is said is not to speak (language) to speak (discussion). Those who contend for fish will get wet (wet), those who chase the beast will tend to (cù, the same as "promote" in ancient times, and rush.), and it is not joyful, so "to speak, to act, to know (zhì, the same as "light "Wise".), the one who fights is the last." The husband "Speaks (fundamental), things have a rule (goal), husband is ignorant, so he doesn't know me (flip, that is, "I don't know me.") . "
Wenzi asked: Is there a law for the country?
Lao Tzu said: If the husband pulls the car, the front call Xie Yu (yé hū, also known as "Xie Xu", "Xie Qian". Onomatopoeia.), and also should be followed, this song of persuasion is also Zheng Wei and Hu Chu's voice are not so true. The ritual of governing the country is not in literary debate. "The laws and regulations are nourished. There are many thieves."
Lao Tzu said: Dao has no righteousness (fixed pattern) but can be righteous, for example, like mountains and forests, it can be a material. The wood is not as good as the mountains and forests, and the mountains and forests are not as good as clouds and rain, clouds and rain are not as good as yin and yang, yin and yang are not as good as harmony, and not as good as Tao. The Taoist, the so-called "the shape of nothing, the image of nothing, does not achieve its meaning, between heaven and earth, it can be smelted (fired pottery and metal. Refers to changes with the situation.) and changes."
Lao Tzu said: When a saint establishes a religion and governs, he must observe its end and beginning and see its creation (function and effect). Therefore, when the people know the book, the morals will decline, the knowledge of the numbers will decline the benevolence, the knowledge of the bond contract will decline the faith, and the knowledge of the machinery (referring to strict rules) will decline. The siblings do not sound, but the twenty-five strings respond with their own sound, the axis does not move to oneself, and the thirty spokes spin with their strength. The string has a slow and rapid, and then can be tuned. The car has labor and loss (the same as "Yi", Xiye.) , And then can reach far. Those who make sound are silent (referring to the serpent); those who make turning power are non-turning (referring to the axis). Up and down different ways, easy governance means chaos, high position and big way follow, big things and small ways are fierce. Little virtue harms righteousness, little kindness harms Tao, little argument harms treatment, harsh (serious) quiet (qiǎo, sadness.) hurts morality. Dazheng (same as "politics") is not dangerous (evil), so the people are easy to guide; to Zhiyouyou (same as "youyou"), so you are not a thief; to loyalty and simple (simple), so the people are not hidden.
Lao Tzu said: "Sit sitting together", the old penalty. That is to implicate the crime.) If the law is established, the people will complain; the order of the reduction of nobility (such as "cutting the nobility", expelling or downgrading the rank.), then the hero will betray . Therefore, those who are observing the traces of swords and pens do not know the foundation of fighting chaos, and those who are accustomed to battle formation do not know the power of temple war (the court's combat strategy). The saint is first blessed in the key, worrying about the trouble outside of the dark, the fool is confused by the small gains and forgets the big harm, so "things are good for the small but harm the big, get here and forget about the other." Nothing is better than loving someone, no more wise than knowing someone, loving someone means no grievances, and knowing someone means no chaos."
Lao Tzu said: The rivers (referring to the big rivers in general) are so big that they can only overflow for three days, and there is no time to stop during the day. Those who have nothing to accumulate and do not worry will lose their lives, those who are worried about their husbands will prosper, and those who are happy will die. Therefore, the good people turn the weak into the strong and turn disaster into blessing. "Dao Chong (connected with "cup". Void.) And dissatisfied with it. "
Lao Tzu said: Quiet and peaceful, human nature, well-mannered, well-organized, self-sustaining is the nature of knowing people, and the governor's system is not chaotic. Issue No. 1 (order), disperse without competition (communicate the "boundary"), and take charge of one's mind, which is called the heart; see the original but know the end, stick to the one and respond to the ten thousand, called the skill. To know what to do, to know what to do (purpose), to know what to multiply (by holding, basis.), to know what to do, to know what to do is the way. Those who make others wise and praise oneself have the strength of the heart; those who humble oneself and slander oneself have the fault of the heart. Speaking comes from the mouth and cannot be restrained from others; acting in the near, cannot be restrained in the distance. It is difficult to make things happen but easy to fail, famous ones are hard to establish and easy to discard. Everyone is minor and easy to trifle, which can lead to serious troubles. Misfortunes come from husbands, humans are born by themselves, and good fortunes come by humans. Misfortunes and good fortunes are in the same way. Advantages and harms are adjacent. Self is the essence and cannot be divided. Those who are wisely concerned, are the gateway to misfortune and happiness, those who are moving (indicating the execution and stopping of the way), and the cardinal of interest, must not be inadvertently monitored.
Lao Tzu said: Everyone knows the opportunity to fight chaos, but no one knows (preservation) the tools of life (the ancients are the same as "all", complete.), so the saints do things for the world and for power. The saint can be yin and yang, soft and strong, weak and strong, moving at any time, performing meritorious services because of (relying on) resources, seeing things and knowing the opposite (same as "returning"), and observing the changes. Transformation is the image, and transport is the response. It is to live life without being trapped. Therefore, "things can be said but not feasible, or feasible but not achieved, or easy to achieve but difficult to achieve, or difficult to achieve but easy to fail." The so-called feasible but not feasible, there is a choice; what is feasible but not feasible, Fraudulent; easy-to-do but hard-to-achieve, things are also; hard-to-achieve but easy-to-fail, names are also. These four are what the saints pay attention to, and the sage sees them alone.
Lao Tzu said: Daoists respect the small and micro, and always give up (guess) the precautions, no harm is no good, no good will be taken care of, and no good will be taken care of. Being (pī) frost on the same day, the concealed will not hurt, the fool is prepared and the wise man has the same work. A husband's accumulation of love becomes a blessing, and an accumulation of hatred becomes a disaster. Everyone knows to save troubles, and they don't know that they can make troubles without life. Nowadays, people don't make troubles without life, but to rescue them, although gods cannot make plans. The origin of the disaster is endless. The saint lives deep in order to avoid the trouble, and waits in silence. The villain does not know the door of misfortune and blessing, and is caught in punishment when he moves. Although the preparation is not enough for the whole body. Therefore, the sergeant first avoids troubles and then benefits, first humiliates and then seeks fame. Therefore, sages often work outside the invisible, and do not pay attention to what has been accomplished, so that the disasters come without a cause, and they cannot be dust.
Lao Tzu said: The way of mortals is to have small desires, great ambitions, full wisdom and desires, the desire for action, the desire for more energy, and the desire for things less. The so-called small-minded people do not worry about life, guard against evil, and dare not indulge their desires. Those with great ambitions also encompass all nations, all of which are special and vulgar, right and non-convergence (fú còu, also called "spokes". The spokes of the car are gathered on the hub. Refers to the gathering of people or things.) The middle is the hub. Those who are wise round have no reason at all, Fang (páng, beside the sound.) flows far and wide, and the waters are endless. Practitioners stand upright without bending (bending), plain but not dirty, poor and hard to handle, and do not want to be ambitious. Those who can be more capable, equipped with civil and military equipment, in motion and static, make mistakes (that is, "actions") discarded, and the song is appropriate. For those who have few things, we must use spouse (cooperate or make it to cooperate) the crowd, hold the contract to treat the wide, and be quiet to stay irritable. Those with a small heart are forbidden from the slightest; those with great ambitions are all conceived; those who are wise, do not know; those who do what they do or do not do; those who can do more, do not incur; Therefore, the saints are good at nothing but do not do anything small, and they do not change without change. You don’t need to be a witch (wū xí, female is a witch, and a man is a coward.), and ghosts and gods dare not go ahead, it is very expensive, but trembling (same as "trembling and trembling"), one day be careful , It is done by doing nothing (focus can be successful). The wisdom of fools is already scarce, and there are so many things that they do, so their actions must be poor. Therefore, if it is politically enlightened, the situation is easy and it will succeed; if it is cultized, its situation is difficult and it must be defeated. If it is easy, it will succeed; if it is difficult, it will fail. It is caused by foolishness.
Lao Tzu said: The rise of good fortune is endless, and the birth of misfortune is also one after another. The number of misfortune and fortune is invisible. The saint sees it always, so he must not ignore it. The rewards and punishments of the master are not for self or the country, for those who are suitable for oneself but fail to contribute to the country, do not reward, and those who go against oneself but are convenient for the country will not be punished. Therefore, "righteousness is suitable, and it is called a gentleman; what is righteousness is suitable, and it is called a villain." Tongzhi gains but does not work, and secondly works but does not get sick (exhausted), and when it comes to sickness, it does not work. The humanity of the ancients (research) is persevering, but the people of today are reluctant. Zhou is the elephant 櫡 (zhù, the ancient same "Chop", chopsticks. Ivory chopsticks.) and Jizi (jī, name Xuyu, Uncle King Zhou, Taishi, Feng Yuji.) 唏 (xī, laugh.), Lu Confucius sighed with a puppet buried. Seeing its beginning, you know its end.
Lao Tzu said: The benevolent is admired by the benevolent, and the righteous is also the highest. Those who are admired by others, who are highly regarded by others, or who have died and died in the country, are not suitable for the time. Therefore, those who know righteousness but do not know the power of the world will not reach the Tao. Five Emperors (generally refers to Huangdi, Zhuanxu (zhuān xū), Emperor Ku (kù), Tang Yao, Yu Shun.) Guide, Three Kings (kings of Xia, Shang and Zhou) use righteousness, Wu Bo (refers to Xia Kunwu, Yin Dapeng, and Pig Wei , Qi Huan Gong, Jin Wengong.) Ren Li, taking the emperor's way today, Shi Wu Bo's life is not the right way. Therefore, goodness (one book has the word "Ye", suspected to be an essay.) Whether it is the same, it is not yuzai (a book with the word "Zai"); trending, etc., reverse and shun (one book for "left and right"). Knowing what the heavens do and what people do is to know what to do in the world. Knowing the sky without knowing the people means that there is no way to communicate with the common people; knowing the people without knowing the sky means that there is no way to travel with the Tao. Straight (same as "value", holding.) Aspiration, that is, strong (jiàng, stubborn.) Thieves (being hurt); with physical service (drive, means to deal with.) Things, that is, yin and yang food (food, for " Eclipse" means loss. It refers to the loss of human spirit.). A person who attains the Tao is externalized but not internalized, externalized, so he knows people, and internalized, so he has the whole body. Therefore, there is a certain exercise inside, but the outside can bend and stretch, and move with the object, without sinking. What is more valuable to Tao is to change. Keep one section (section of ethics) and push a line (act), although it is not easy (change) to achieve fullness, it is confined to small good and confined to the main road. Taoists, loneliness is based on nothingness, not doing things for things, not doing things for oneself, it is a person who does things and submits to the way, what the non-Tao people do, and what the Tao does. The coverage of the heaven and the earth, the illumination of the sun and the moon, the yin and the yang, the moisturizing of rain and dew, and the support (support) of morality are all in harmony. Therefore, those who can wear a large circle (sky) walk generously (earth), those who look great in the mirror see Daming, and those who stand peaceful (flat ground) are in the lobby (court). Those who can swim in the underworld, with the sun and the moon, are born in the formlessly, so the real person entrusts to the spiritual platform (mind), and returns to the beginning of the thing, sees the underworld, listens to the silent, underworld Only Xiaoyan, alone in loneliness (shadow) Yan. What is used is not used, and what is not used can be used, what is known is not knowing, and what is known is not known. The Tao is also the way of things, the virtuous is the support of life, the benevolent is also the proof of the kindness, the righteous is more suitable than the heart. When morality is destroyed and morality is prosperous, morality declines and benevolence and righteousness regenerate. Therefore, morality in the previous life is not moral, and morality is not held in the middle life. Therefore, if a gentleman is unrighteous, he will lose his life. If he is unjust, he will lose his life. Therefore, the gentleman is afraid of losing justice, and the villain is afraid of losing.
