76.  Hard and Soft  

When man is born, he is tender and weak; 
At death, he is hard and stiff. 
When the things and plants are alive, they are soft  and supple; 
When they are dead, they are brittle and dry. 
Therefore hardness and stiffness are the companions of death, 
And softness and gentleness are the companions of life. 

Therefore when an army is headstrong, it will lose in a battle. 
When a tree is hard, it will be cut down. 
The big and strong belong underneath. 
The gentle and weak belong at the top 阅读全文

57.  The Art of Government  

Rule a kingdom by the Normal. 
Fight a battle by (abnormal) tactics of surprise. 
Win the world by doing nothing. 
How do I know it is so? 

Through this: - 
The more prohibitions there are, 
The poorer the people become. 
The more sharp weapons there are, 
The greater the chaos in the state. 
The more skills of technique, 
The more cunning things are produced. 
The greater the number of statutes, 
The greater the number of thieves and brig 阅读全文

41. Qualities of the Taoist  

When the highest type of men hear the Tao (truth), 
They try hard to live in accordance with it. 
When the mediocre type hear the Tao, 
They seem to be aware and yet unaware of it. 
When the lowest type hear the Tao, 
They break into loud laughter - 
If it were not laughed at, it would not be Tao. 

Therefore there is the established saying: 阅读全文

26. Heaviness and Lightness  

The Solid is the root of the light; 
The Quiescent is the master of the Hasty. 

Therefore the Sage travels all day 
Yet never leaves his provision-cart. 
In the midst of honor and glory, 
He lives leisurely, undisturbed. 

How can the ruler of a great country 
Make light of his body in the empire (by rushing about)? 
In light frivolity, the Center is lost; 
In hasty action, self-mastery is lost.

14. Prehistoric Origins  

Looked at, but cannot be seen - 
That is called the Invisible (yi). 
Listened to, but cannot be heard - 
That is called the Inaudible (hsi). 
Grasped at, but cannot be touched - 
That is called the Intangible (wei). 
These three elude our inquiries 
And hence blend and become One. 

Not by its rising, is there light, 
Nor by its sinking, is there darkness. 
Unceasing, continuous, 
It cannot be defined, 
And reverts again to the realm 阅读全文
