Qu quan, waste straight; Depression is surplus, and disadvantages are new; If there is less, there will be more, and you will be confused. It is the world wind for saints to embrace one. You can't see yourself, so be clear; Self-evident, so obvious; Do not cut yourself, have merit; Not proud, so long. The husband does not dispute, and the world cannot contend with it. Is the so-called "happiness" in ancient times illusory? Sincerely return.

Bend to exist, bend to be straight; Low-lying places will be full, and the old ones will be updated; If you take less, you will get it, and if you take too much, you will be confused. Therefore, those who have the means to adhere to this principle as the paradigm of world affairs can show it without self-praise; If you are not self-righteous, you can distinguish right from wrong; If you don't boast, you can get credit; Not self-sustaining, so it can last for a long time.

Because he doesn't argue with others, no one in the world can argue with him. In ancient times, the so-called "compromise will save", how can it be empty talk? It is actually achievable.
