172 Myth is also a projection of reality
14. If you look at it, it is called Yi; if you don’t hear it, it is called Xi; if you can’t fight, it is called Sun Wei. These three cannot be questioned (jie: two sounds), so they are mixed into one. The upper part is not slight (jiao: three sounds)? The lower part is not ignorant (mei: four sounds), the rope (min: three sounds) and the rope cannot be named, and it returns to nothing. This is called a shapeless shape and a sign of nothing, which is called a vagueness. When you welcome it, you cannot see its head, and you cannot see its back. You should follow the way of the past to control the present. Be able to know the beginning of the past is called Taoism.
15. In ancient times, those who were good at being a scholar were subtle and mysterious, but could not be identifiable. Only those who could not be identifiable were strongly tolerated. They were as unconscious as rivers in winter; they were as fearful as neighbors; they were as singular as guest; they were as sloppy as a guest; they were as simplicity as a valley; they were as vast as a valley; they were as turbid as a sea; they were as simplicity as a sea; they were as till endless. Who could be turbid as a quiet and quiet? Who could be as ease as a moving? Those who protect this path did not want to be full. Only those who were not full, so they could be blocked and newly formed...
16. To achieve extreme emptiness, keep quiet and firm (du: three sounds). All things are created together, and I can observe the restoration. All things are returned to their roots. Returning to the root is called quiet, and quiet is called return to the fate. Returning to the fate is called constant, knowing constant is called bright. Not knowing constant is to be bad. Knowing constant is to be in danger, and tolerating is to be the Lord, and the Lord is to be complete, and the whole is the heaven, and the heaven is the way, and the Tao is long, and there will be no danger without a body.
17. The Supreme Master knows that there is something; secondly, praise it with close tribute. Secondly, fear it. Secondly, insult it. If you don’t believe it, you don’t believe it. If you are careless, you are very proud of your words. If you succeed, the people will say: I am naturally...
18. If the great way is abandoned, there will be benevolence and righteousness; if wisdom comes out, there will be great falsehood; if the relatives are in harmony, there will be filial piety and kindness; if the country is in chaos, there will be loyal ministers...
19. If you abandon saints and wisdom, the people will benefit a hundred times; if you abandon benevolence and righteousness, the people will be filial and kind; if you abandon cleverness and profit, the people will have no thieves; these three are considered insufficient literature. Therefore, you will be able to have a place to be simple, have few private desires, and have no worries about learning...
20. How far is it? How far is it? What is good or evil? What is it? People are afraid of it. It is deserted, how long is it! Everyone is bustling, like enjoying a solid foundation, like spring on the stage. I am alone, but it is not a sign; Chaos (dun: four sounds) are chaos, like a baby who is not a child; Qiya (lei: two sounds) are as if there is no place to go. Everyone has more than, but I am as if I am leaving. How is my heart of a fool! People are bright, but I am alone. People are obsessed and confused. I am alone. People are observing, but I am alone. I am alone and despised.
21. Confucius's appearance is that Tao follows. Tao is only a matter of things, only a vague and vague. There are images in it; there are vague and vague and vague. There are objects in it. It is dark and dark (ming: two sounds), and there are essences in it; its essence is very true and there is faith in it. From now on, the name has not been removed, so I can read the whole family. How can I know the appearance of the whole family? With this...
22. If the bent one is complete, if the bent one is straight, if the bent one is full, if the bent one is full, if the bet is new, if the bet is small, if the gain is small, if the more one is confused. Therefore, the sages hold one as the world's style. They do not see themselves, so they are clear; if they are not self-righteous, so they are prominent; if they do not criticize themselves, so they have achievements; if they do not be proud of themselves (jin: a sound), so they are long. Only when they do not compete, so no one can compete with them. The so-called "curve one is complete" in ancient times is not empty talk! They are sincere and complete and return to them.
23. I hope to say that it is natural. Therefore, the wind does not last long, and the rain does not last long. Who is this? Heaven and earth cannot last long, let alone people? Therefore, those who are engaged in the Tao are the same as Tao; those who are virtue are the same as virtue; those who are loss are the same as loss. Those who are the same as Tao are also happy to get it; those who are the same as virtue are also happy to get it; those who are the same as loss are also happy to get it; those who are the same as loss are also happy to get it. If you are the same as loss, you are the same as loss. If you are the same as faith, you are the same as there are disbelief.
34. The great way is swayed (fan: four sounds), and it can be kept in power. All things rely on it to be born without saying anything, and they will not have success. They will nourish all things without being the main one, and they will always have no desires. They can be called small. All things return to their place without being the main one, and they can be called big. Because they will not be big in the end, they can be made big.
35. Holding the elephant, the world goes forward, and it will not harm the peace and flatness. Joy and bait will stop the passerby. The exit of the Tao is light and tasteless, and it is not visible to see it, it is not heard enough, and it is not useful enough to use it...
36. If you want to shrink it (xi: a sound), you must strengthen it; if you want to weaken it, you must strengthen it; if you want to abolish it, you must strengthen it; if you want to take it, you must firmly talk to it: This is called twilight. Flexibility is better than hardness. Fish cannot escape from the abyss, and the country's sharp weapons cannot be shown to others...
37. The Tao is always inaction and everything is not unavailable. If the prince can guard it, all things will be transformed by themselves. If they want to transform and want to do it, I will suppress it with the nameless simplicity. If you keep it with the nameless simplicity, you will not want to do it. If you do not want to be quiet, the world will be upright.〖Interpretation〗

38. The superior virtue is not virtuous, so there is virtue; the inferior virtue is not lost.
Therefore, there is no virtue. The superior virtue is ineffective and has no way to do it; the inferior virtue is ineffective and has no way to do it. The superior benevolence is ineffective and has no way to do it; the superior righteousness is ineffective and has no way to do it; the superior etiquette is ineffective and has no way to respond, and then it will be ruthless and throw it away. Therefore, if you lose the way, you will be virtuous, if you lose the way, you will be benevolent, if you lose the benevolence, if you lose the benevolence, you will be ritual. The ritual is the thinness of loyalty and trust, and the head of chaos. The previous knowledge is the gorgeousness of Tao, and the beginning of the foolishness is to make the great deal of the thickness and not the thinness of the body; if you are in reality, you will not be in the gorgeousness of the body. Therefore, you will get rid of the other person to take this...
39. In the past, one thing was obtained: the heaven was clear to one, the earth was clear to one; the god was clear to one, the spirit was obtained to one, the valley was full to full; all things were born; all kings got one, and the kings got one, and the kings got one, and the kings got one, and the kings got one, and the kings got one, and the kings got one, and the kings got one, and the kings got one, and the kings got one, and the kings got one, and the kings got one, and they were afraid of breaking; the gods had no spirit, and they were afraid of breaking; the valley was full to one, and they were afraid of being exhausted; all things were not born, and they were afraid of being destroyed; the kings had no righteousness, and they were afraid of being depressed (jue: two sounds). Therefore, the noble was based on lowness and the superiority was based on high and below. Therefore, the princes were called lonely and weak, and they were not obsessed (gu: three sounds). This was not based on lowness as the evil? Isn’t it? Therefore, the reputation was not very good. Therefore, he did not want to be mediocre (lu: four sounds) like jade, and the rosy (luo: four sounds) like stone...
40. The opposite is the movement of Tao. The weak is the use of Tao. All things in the world are born from existence, and existence is born from non-existence.
41. When the superiors hear the Tao, they will work diligently; when the middle-aged men hear the Tao, they will survive or perish; when the inferiors hear the Tao, they will laugh out loud. Not laughing is not enough to be the Tao. Therefore, there are suggestions: to be clear about the Tao as ignorant; to advance the Tao as if retreating; to be a barbaric way as if the Tao is shattered (lei: two sounds); to be virtuous like valley; to be vast and virtue as if not enough; to build virtue as if stealing; to be true as if the quality is as if it is resurrected (yu: two sounds); to be humiliated as if it is not; to be a big white like humiliation; to be a little bit late; to be a big sound, the elephant is invisible; to be hidden and nameless. Only the Tao is good at lending and accomplishing...
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 carry the yin and embrace the yang, and the qi is harmonious. What people hate is only lonely, weak, and not obsessed, but kings and princes think it is called. Therefore, things may damage them and benefit them or lose them. I also teach them what people teach. Those who are strong and do not die, and I will think they are the godfather.
43. The most gentle thing in the world is to gallop across the world. Nothing goes into the world, so I know that the benefit of inaction is beneficial. The teaching of non-speaking is beneficial to inaction, and the benefit of inaction is beneficial to the world...
44. Which one is close to fame or body? Which one is more fame or goods? Which one is more fame or death? A lot of love will cost a lot; a lot of hiding will lead to a lot of death. Therefore, being content will not be humiliated, knowing to stop will not lead to danger, and it can last for a long time...
45. If great success is short, its use is not bad. If great fullness is like conflict, its use is never exhausted. If great straightness is like bend, great cleverness is like clumsy, and great eloquence is like dullness. Quietness overcomes impatience, cold overcomes heat. Clear and quiet means the world's right...
46. There is a way in the world, but horses are driven by feces. There is no way in the world, and military horses are born in the suburbs. No sin is greater than desire; no disaster is greater than not being satisfied; no blame (jiu: four tones) is greater than desire to obtain. Therefore, the contentment is always enough...
47. If you don’t leave your house, you know the world; if you don’t look at the wall (you: three sounds), you will see the way of heaven. The distance is farther away, and the knowledge is less. Therefore, the sage knows it without doing it, it is clear without seeing it, and it is accomplished without doing it...
48. Learning is increasing day by day, and the Tao is deteriorating day by day. It is damaged and then it is lost, so that there is nothing to do. It is not enough to win the world.
