If you know that you are a man and keep her woman, what does it mean to be first-class in the world?
This sentence means that you know what a strong person is, but you are willing to be a stream in the world. I know what light is, but I am content with the dark position and I am willing to be a model for the world.

From: the philosophical work Tao Te Ching by Lao Zi (Li Er) in the Spring and Autumn Period, the original text is as follows:

It is a world trend to know his man and keep his woman. For the world stream, Changde never gives up and returns to the baby. Know its white, keep its black, for the world, for the world, Changde is special, and it is endless.

I know what a strong man is, but I would like to be a stream in the world. Willing to be a stream in the world, eternal virtue will not be lost and return to the state of innocence like a baby. I know what light is, but I am content with the dark position and I am willing to be a model for the world. I hope to be a model of the world, and the eternal virtue will remain unchanged, returning to the inexhaustible truth.
