Full text of Tao Te Ching

Silk Books Unearthed from Mawangdui

0 1

Tao can be Tao, but it is not constant. A name can be named, but it is not a constant name. The beginning of the nameless thing is also the mother of the famous thing. Therefore, there is no desire to watch; There is always a desire to read. They are the same, but different names are the same. Mysterious and mysterious, the gate of Wan Qi.

02

The whole world knows that beauty is beauty and evil, and good is good and evil. With or without, the difficulty is complementary, the length is complementary, the competition is complementary, and the voice is harmonious. It is based on the sage's inaction and teaching. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and it depends on it. If you succeed, you will live in it. If you live in it, you will walk with it.

03

Don't be virtuous, let the people do not dispute. Cheap and rare goods make people afraid to steal. If you can't see what you want, you can save the people from chaos. It is the rule of saints, hollowing out their hearts, strengthening their bellies, weakening their aspirations, strengthening their bones, and making the people ignorant and have no desire. If your husband knows that you dare not act, you are dead.

04

Tao, and the use of it is also full, deep, like the Sect of all things. Defeat its spirit, resolve its disputes, and its light, with its dust, Zhan, seems to still exist. I don't know whose son it is, like the former emperor.

05

Heaven and earth are ruthless, and everything is a dog. Saints are ruthless and treat people like pigs. Between heaven and earth, is it beautiful? Empty and unyielding, move out. Better be poor than stay in the middle.

06

The immortal is called Xuanzang. The gate of Xuanzang is the root of heaven and earth. Continuous, if it exists, it is not necessary.

07

Forever and ever. Heaven and earth can live forever because they are not born by themselves, so they can live forever. Being a saint, being the first, being outside the body, not because of its selflessness and evil, can be private.

08

Good as water. Water is good for everything and quiet, and water is bad for everyone, so it is a few words. Good living, good heart, good weather, good handwriting, good politics, good things and good times. Husband is just indisputable, so there is nothing special.

09

It is better to persist than to have it. If you are sharp, you can't keep it for long. In today's Shi Ying, Mo Zhishou is also rich and arrogant, blaming himself. When retiring, heaven is also.

10

Can you hold a camp? Can you still be a baby when you are weak? Can repairing the mysterious view be seamless? Love the people and govern the country, can you ignore it? Can heaven be opened and closed for women? I understand these four points, can I not go to Zhihu? Life, livestock, life and happiness, long and happiness, is called Xuande.

1 1

The same wheel hub is used as a car when it is not available. If you are embarrassed, you can be a tool. If you have nothing, you can use it. Chisel home, when it has nothing, there is still room for it. Therefore, it is profitable and useless.

12

Five colors make people blind, five tones make people deaf, five flavors make people cool, galloping hunting makes people crazy, and exotic goods can hinder people's walking. It's based on the rule of saints, not on the stomach, so I'll take another one.

13

If you are shocked by humiliation, you are in big trouble. What is being humiliated and surprised? If you spoil it, you will be surprised, and if you lose it, you will be surprised. What does it mean to be in danger? I have a big patient. Because I have a body, and I have no body. What's the problem? So, you think you are the world, if you can support the world; Love the world, you can make a fortune.

14

See it and see it, called micro. Listening to it is called hope. If you fight, you will get it, and the name is easy. The three are hard to blame, so they are confused. First, there is no fallacy on it, no confusion on it, no search on it, no name on it, returning to nothing, which means no shape, no image, which means no hope. Then I didn't see it, but I didn't see its head. Holding the way of today, keeping the existence of today and knowing the beginning of ancient times is called Dao Ji. For more content, pay attention to the official account of WeChat in the practice circle.

15

The ancient goodness is the Tao, subtle and profound, profound and profound. The husband is only unknowable, so he is strong and tolerant and says, Oh, if he wades in winter; However, if it is afraid of its neighbors; Ah, if it's a guest; Oh, if it's ice; Chaos, if it is simple; Oh, if it is turbid; It is vast, just like a valley. Turbid and quiet Qing Xu, moving Xu Sheng, don't want to benefit, husband only don't want to benefit. So, it's not covered.

16

To the extreme, keep quiet and supervise, and do everything around you, so that I can see its recovery. Everything must be traced back to the source. In the final analysis, it is quietness, and quietness is called life. Often too late to reply, often too late to know. I often don't know that I am a murderer. Know how to be patient, endure for the public, the public is king, Wang Naitian, the sky is the Tao, the Tao is long, and there is no body and no danger.

17

It's too high, everyone knows it, followed by personal reputation, second fear, second humiliation, lack of trust, disbelief in the case, ah, its expensive words are also. Success is success, and people call me nature.

18

Therefore, abandoning the Tao, the case is righteous. Zhizhi, this case is a big fake. If six parents are not in harmony, they have filial piety. State home stunned, Zhen Chen in the case.

19

Abandoning knowledge will benefit the people a hundred times. People will be filial only if they despise benevolence and righteousness. Never give up profits, thieves have nothing. These three words also feel that the text is not enough, so they are attributed to: simple, think less, think less, and learn carefree.

20

Just what's the difference with the great? What is the difference between beauty and evil? What are people afraid of? You can't be fearless. Alas, it's not over yet. Everyone is bustling, if you like spring in prison. I am not alone, like an unborn child of a baby. Tired, it seems that there is no return, everyone is willing but unable, and I am alone, feeling silly. The layman is clear, I am alone, the layman view, I am alone, I am indifferent, I am like the sea, boundless. Everyone has something to recommend, but I am stubborn and contemptuous. I want to be different from others, but I want to eat my mother.

2 1

Comte's tolerance is only obedience. Everything in the Tao is just vague, vague and vague. There are images, things, things, shadows and subtleties in it. Its essence is true, and there is faith in it. Since ancient times and today, its name has not gone to follow its ancestors. How do I know who my father is? That's it.

22

Cooking people don't stand up, look at their own lack of appearance, look at their own anonymity, cut their own useless, and admire their own shortcomings. It is also in the Tao that food is superfluous and things are evil, so those who want it are rich.

23

Qu Quan, Fei Zhi. There is a surplus of depression, and we are reborn. Less is gain, more is confusion. It is based on the sage's insistence on one, thinking that the world is full of style. If you don't look at yourself, you don't see yourself clearly, you can grow up without making achievements, and your husband is indisputable and can't compete with it. In ancient times, the so-called Song was the whole thing, just a few empty words.

24

Hope is natural, the wind will never stop, and the rainstorm will not last all day. Why? Heaven and earth can last for a long time. What about people? Therefore, those who are engaged in Taoism are the same, those who are virtuous are the same, and those who lose are the same. If you are virtuous, you will be virtuous. He who loses the same way loses the Tao.

25

Miscellaneous things, born naturally, deep and sparse, independent and unchanged, can be the mother of heaven and earth. I don't know its name, but the word Dao is stronger than the name. Death is great, death is far away, and distance is relative. The road is big, the sky is big, the land is big, and the king is big. There are four big countries in China, but Wang Juyi is not. Man's law is based on the earth, the earth is based on the sky, the sky is based on the Tao, and the Tao is natural.

26

Emphasis on light roots, quietness is an impetuous gentleman, and a gentleman can't leave his trench all day long. Although there is a pavilion, the face is bright. How can you be the master of all things and despise the world? Light people lose money, impetuous people lose a gentleman.

27

There is no trace of good deeds, no flaw of good words, and no plan of good deeds. It doesn't matter if you are good at closing, you can't open it, and if you are good at closing, you can't solve it without agreement. It is a saint who saves people and does not abandon people, and things do not abandon wealth, which means attacking Ming. So: a good man is a good teacher; Not good at people, but also good at people. I don't care about my teachers and I don't love their talents. Although Zhihu is a big fan, it is very important.

28

It is the world stream to know its male and keep its female; For the world flow, Hengde is inseparable; Constant virtue never leaves, and it belongs to the baby. Knowing its glory and keeping its shame is Amagai; For Amagai, Hengde is enough; Constant virtue is enough, and return to simplicity. Knowing that it is black or white is the world wind; For the world, Hengde is not embarrassed; Hengde is not specialized, but it belongs to infinity. Park San is a tool, the sage is an official, and the husband is unified without cutting.

29

I will take the whole world to do it. I saw it paid off. If you are an artifact in the world, you must do it. Those who do lose, and those who do lose. Things go or go, hiss or blow, strong or strong, or repair or destroy, which means that saints go high, high and luxurious.

30

It would be nice if Dao Ji people did not strengthen the world with soldiers. Where the teacher lives, where Chuji was born, the good ones are fruitful, so don't take advantage. Fruit without arrogance, fruit without hesitation, fruit without cutting, fruit without wanting is called fruit without strength. If things are strong, they will grow old, which means that they are not Taoists, but have long been Taoists.

3 1

Soldiers are ominous and things are evil, so people who want them should live in peace. A gentleman's house is expensive on the left, and fighting is expensive on the right, so soldiers are not a gentleman's weapon. Soldiers' ominous tools are also a last resort. If the attack is not beautiful, if it is beautiful, it will be happy to kill. If you enjoy killing people, you can't succeed in the world. Left is a good thing, right is a funeral. On the left is the general, and on the right is the general. It's also a funeral. Kill, weep, conquer, and treat the funeral.

32

The road is unknown, the garden is small, and the world is an official. If the marquis can keep it, everything will be self-sufficient, heaven and earth will be in harmony, and the people will balance themselves. It was famous at first, and the name was already there. My husband will also be Zhi Zhi and Zhi Zhi, so it's not dangerous. Give the word to the world as the valley to the rivers and seas.

33

He who knows others is wise, and he who knows himself is wise. The winner is strong, and the winner is strong. Those who are satisfied are rich, and those who are forced are ambitious. He who has not lost his position for a long time lives long, and he who has never forgotten his death lives long.

34

Tao is extensive and controllable, success is success, and fame is also there. Everything belongs to Yan and Fu, but there is no desire, so it can be small, and everything belongs to Yan and Fu, so it can be big. Because a saint can become great, and because he is not great, he can become great.

35

Leading the elephant, the world walks, but it doesn't hurt people. Anping is peaceful, and joy and bait pass by. As the old saying goes, food is tasteless, but you can't see enough, hear enough and use enough.

36

You must keep it if you want it. If you want to be weak, you must be strong. If you want to go, you must be solid. If you want to take it away, you must fix it. It means "Twilight City": the weak is better than the strong, the fish can't escape from the jade garden, and the national utensils can't show people.

37

Tao is nameless. If Hou can keep it, everything will be self-made. If you want to do it, I'll take it as nameless simplicity. He will not be ashamed of his nameless simplicity. Quiet without humiliation, heaven and earth are right.

38

Virtue without virtue is virtue, and virtue without virtue is virtue without virtue. The upper virtue thinks nothing, the lower virtue thinks it, the upper benevolence thinks it, the upper righteousness thinks it, and the upper ceremony is thrown away when it is time to do it. So, you lose your virtue, you lose your virtue, then you lose your benevolence, then you lose your righteousness, then you lose your righteousness. The husbands and gentlemen are loyal, the first in chaos, the first in ignorance, and the first in stupidity. The gentleman is thick but not thin, but not in light, so he takes this.

39

Once upon a time, the sky was high and the clouds were light, the ground was flat, God got a spirit, the valley got a surplus, and everything got a life. The Marquis thought the world was right. The reason is that before it is clear, it is afraid of cracking, before the ground is clear, it is afraid of waste, before God is clear, it is afraid of rest, before the valley is born, it is afraid of exhaustion, before everything is born, it is afraid of death, and the princes are not expensive. So it must be expensive, based on cheap, high and low. The husband claims to be lonely, which is a despicable foundation? No, so count, but nothing. So, if you don't want it, it will be like jade and stone.

40

The sergeant heard the word and walked. When a sergeant heard it, he heard it. If he survives, he dies. A corporal listened and smiled, but it was not enough to laugh. Therefore, he suggested: Ming Dow is like a fee. If he enters the Tao, he will retreat. Virtue is like a valley, white as a disgrace, wide as a lack of virtue, and Jiande as a thief. Quality is as real as Chongqing's, generosity has no horns, and success is avoided. Listen loudly, heaven is invisible, praise is unknown, and husband is good.

4 1

Returnees, the movement of Tao; If you are weak, you can use Tao. Everything in the world is born with it, but not with it.

Forty two.

Tao gives birth to one, two, three and everything. Everything is negative to yin and holds yang, while the middle qi thinks it is harmonious. The evil in the world is loneliness and poverty, and the princes gain benefits by their own names, events or losses, so they teach others through discussion, so those who strengthen the beam will not die, and I take it as my father.

43

The world is the softest, the world is the strongest, and nothing enters without trace. I think it is beneficial to know nothing. Teaching without words is the benefit of inaction, and the world hopes to achieve it.

Forty-four

Who is the name and body? Which is more important, health or goods? What kind of disease is acquisition or death? Love deeply, cost much, hide much, and die thick. Therefore, knowing enough is not humiliating, and knowing for a long time is not humiliating.

45

Without great achievements, they will not be used. If you have a big profit, you can use it endlessly. Straight as a fool, smart as a fool, and big as a winner. Impatience overcomes coldness, quietness overcomes enthusiasm, and quietness can be the right thing in the world.

46

There is a road in the world, but it is a waste. There is no way in the world, and the suburbs have horses. Sin is greater than desire, disaster is greater than dissatisfaction, and the responsibility is not desire. So contentment is enough, perseverance is enough.

47

Stay at home and get to know the world. You can know heaven without peeking at you. It is also far away and has little knowledge. It is based on the fact that saints can't do it, but they can't see it and can't say it clearly.

48

As a scholar, the listener loses day by day and loses again and again, so that he achieves nothing. Doing nothing will take the world for granted, and doing something is not enough to take the world for granted.

Forty nine

Saints are always careless, but they take people's hearts as their heart. Good people are good, bad people are good, and virtue is good. Those who believe believe, those who don't believe, and they are honest. Sages are in the world and confused by the world. People are eyes and ears, and saints are children.

50

Give up one's life and forget one's death. Ten students give birth to three, ten students die three, and ten people die three when they are vivid. Why? Make a living from it. Gai Wenshan holds the living, the mausoleum does not meet the tiger, and he does not join the army as a soldier. Helpless, the tiger is at a loss for its claws, and the soldier has no place for its blade. Why? It won't die.

5 1

Tao is an innate morality, and material punishment is composed of morality. Everything respects Tao and is expensive, morality is expensive, and husband and wife are peerless and constant. Tao, birth, education, nurturing, hiding, poisoning, nurturing and covering. Let Xuande be born blessed, rely on it, and be long and blessed.

Fifty two

The world has a beginning, thinking that it is the mother of the world, with its mother, to know its son, know its son, and keep its mother. Block the exchange, close the door, and never be jealous. Opening its exchange to help its affairs is beyond saving. Seeing Chang Yueming, keeping soft is stronger. Using its light, returning to its light, and not suffering without leaving the body, this is called an attack.

53

In this way, I can be knowledgeable and walk on the road. Only giving is fear. The road is rough and people are easy to understand. Except for North Korea, the field battle was awkward and the warehouse was empty. Take literary talent, sword, anorexia, more money and more goods, this is called stealing praise, stealing praise is wrong.

54

Those who are good at making will not pull out, those who are good at holding will not take off, and future generations will continue to sacrifice. Self-cultivation, its virtue is true; The repair shop is more virtuous than others; The hometown of repair has a long virtue; Repairing the country is rich in virtue; Practicing in the world is rich in virtue. Look at the body, look at home, look at the country, look at the country, look at the world, how can I know the world? Hereby.

55

A virtuous person is better than being naked, being stung by bees and snakes, struggling to catch birds and animals, with weak bones and soft muscles and firm grip. The combination of the unknown and the unknown is perfect; All day, counting is not silent, but also harmonious. Harmony leads to communication, knowledge leads to communication, health leads to auspiciousness, and heart leads to vigor. Strong things lead to old age, which means ignorance and early death.

Fifty-six

He who knows speaks, and he who speaks knows. It told Xuan Tong to block its communication, close its door, reconcile with its light, share its dust, frustrate its spirit and settle its disputes. So you can't get close, sparse, profitable, harmful, expensive or cheap, so expensive is the world.

57

Rule the country with righteousness, use troops with strangeness, and take the world with nothing. How should I know? There are many taboos in the husband's world, but the people are poor. There are many sharp weapons, and the country is faint. There are many tricks, many strange things and many thieves. In the words of the sage, I said: I do nothing and the people are self-motivated, I am quiet and the people are self-righteous, I do nothing and the people are rich, I have no desire and the people are simple.

58

Its government is Min Min, its people are swallowing, it is observing, and its country is lacking. Unfortunately, happiness depends on it; Good news, where is the disaster, who knows its extreme? Among them, there is no righteousness, the righteousness is amazing, and the good is evil. People have known about it for a long time. Square without cutting, without stabbing, straight without stubbornness, light without obsidian.

59

It's hard to be stingy when dealing with personnel. Husband's meanness is to serve in advance. Taking clothes early means emphasizing the accumulation of morality. If you emphasize the accumulation of morality, you can't do anything. If you know nothing, you can't know its extremes. You can't know that it can have a country and the mother of the country can last for a long time. This is a deep-rooted way of life and observation.

60

Manage a big country, cook something fresh a little, and you will embark on the road to the world. Is it a ghost or not? Either a ghost or a god. Its gods don't hurt people? Unless its gods don't harm people, saints harm people. Husband and wife don't hurt each other, so morality returns.

6 1

A big country is dirty, the world is also, and the world is also a friend. They will always win the game with silence, and be quiet for them. So the small state below the big state takes the small state, and the big state below the small state takes the big state. So, take it off or take it off. Therefore, big countries only want to be livestock people, while small countries just want to be human beings. Husband is in his place, and the older one should be next.

62

Tao is the master of all things, the treasure of good people and the treasure of bad people. A kind word can win the market, and a respectful move can congratulate others. People are not good, why abandon them? Therefore, if you put the son of heaven in the position of Sanqing, although there is an arch, you have to wait for the horse first, but if you don't sit like this. What was the reason why it was so expensive in ancient times? Isn't it just asking for it and running away with a guilty conscience? Therefore, you are the world.

63

Doing nothing, doing nothing, tasteless, big or small, paying good for evil. The picture is difficult and easy, because it is big and fine. The difficulty of the world, the great work of the world. Therefore, a saint is not great after all, so he can become great. It is easy and difficult for a husband who promises lightly to break his promise. It is difficult for a saint, so there is no difficulty in the end.

64

It is safe and easy to hold. It is not a sign, and it is easy to find. It's brittle and easy to judge. It is small and easy to disperse. For it, there is nothing, for it, there is no chaos. Embrace each other's wood, made in a millimeter, a nine-foot platform starts from the soil, and a hundred feet high begins with the first step. Those who do lose, those who hold lose. It is because of the sage's inaction that there is no defeat, no persistence, so there is no loss. The people's engagement will always be defeated by a few achievements, and finally there will be no defeat if they are careful. It is a rare commodity that saints don't want or want. It can learn what others haven't learned, help the nature of all things, and dare to do it.

65

Therefore, the Taoist will not be wise to the people, but will be foolish. It is well known that the people are refractory. Knowing the state, the thief of the state is also; Knowing the country by ignorance is also the virtue of the country. The continuous understanding of the two is also an example. The form of constant knowledge is called Xuande. Xuande is far-reaching, perverse and even great.

66

Jianghai can become the king of all the valleys because of his kindness. Going to the folk is a saint's wish and must be said. If it wants to be an ancestor, it must be behind them. In front of the former residence, the people are harmful, while the people are heavy and people are tired. There is no dispute with it, so the world cannot compete with it.

67

Small country and few people: let people die again and move to distant places. There are cars and boats with nothing to sit on, and armored soldiers with nothing to do for the people to use again. I want to eat, I want to wear, I want to be vulgar, and I want to live. Neighbors look at each other, chickens and dogs hear each other, and people don't talk until they die.

Sixty-eight

Good words are not beautiful, good words are not beautiful. Those who know don't know, those who know don't know. There are not many good people, but many bad ones. There is no accumulation of saints: the more you think about people, the more you have; The more you give to others, the more you have. So: Heaven is beneficial and harmless; The way to be a man is to fight for it.

Sixty-nine

The world calls me big, big but not greedy, and my husband is only greedy, so I can be big. If Xiao is long, that's all right. My husband and I will always have three treasures, and I will keep them: one is kindness; Second, frugality; Three words dare not be the best in the world. Kindness makes you brave, frugality makes you broad, and you can succeed only if you dare to be the first in the world. Today, if you give up your kindness and courage, if you give up your frugality and broadness, if you give up your later life, you will die. Kindness wins, but rules are solid. The sky will be as healthy as Ciyuan.

70

Those who are good at learning are not martial, those who are good at fighting are not angry, those who are good at defeating the enemy are magnanimous, and those who are good at employing people are indisputable virtues. People use what they want, and heaven and ancient times match.

7 1

There is a saying in fighting: if you dare not be the host and guest, you will retreat if you don't push your luck. It means wireless is unarmed and invincible. Disaster is greater than invincibility, and invincibility is close to my death. Therefore, the soldiers are similar, and the losers win.

Seventy two

My words are easier said than done, but people can't know what they can and can't do what they can. Words have a monarch, things have a Sect, and ignorant people don't know. Wise men look at it, then I am expensive, so the saints are Brown and Huai Yu.

73

You know what? That's enough. I don't know. I'm sick. It is based on the fact that the saint is not sick, and it is also sick, so it is not sick.

74

If the people are not afraid of prestige, great prestige will come Don't get tired of your life. A husband who is tired of everything will never be tired. It's because saints know they don't see it, and they love themselves but are not expensive, so they go elsewhere.

75

Those who dare to kill and those who dare not live are both beneficial or harmful. What is evil in heaven and who knows why? Heaven is to win without a fight, and should not speak, uninvited, but be good at planning, and the skynet is slow but not leaking.

76

If the people remain unchanged and are not afraid of death, how can they be killed? If Min Heng is afraid of death, I will kill them for the deformed ones. Who dares? If people are unchangeable and are afraid of death, there will always be killers. When a husband kills a person on behalf of the company, he kills a great craftsman. If the husband is a great craftsman, rarity won't hurt his hand.

77

People's hunger, together with food tax, is hunger. The people's incorrigible is based on their ideas and is incorrigible. The light death of the people is also due to its thick existence. A husband who lives only for himself is a virtuous and noble life.

Seventy-eight

Born weak, died strong. Everything is tender and crisp, and its death is withered. Therefore: the strong will die; Those who are weak and subtle are also born. Therefore, strong soldiers are invincible, and strong wood is terrier. Constant strength is at the bottom, weak but refined.

79

The road to the world is still open to the bow. The highest person suppresses it, the lower person raises it, the surplus person damages it, and the insufficient person makes up for it. Therefore, heaven is not worth the loss. People's way is not so, the loss is insufficient and the service is more than enough. Who can serve heaven more than enough? Who is the only Taoist? It is a saint who does not rely on it and does not live in it. If so, he doesn't want to see the sage.

80

The water in the world is not weak, and the strong are invincible, so it is not easy. The victory of water is strong, and the victory of weakness is strong. The world knows nothing about it, but there is nothing it can do. Therefore, the sage said: being polluted by the country is the master of the country; Ignorance is the king of the world. If it is that opposite.

8 1

If you have great grievances, you will have more grievances. How can I be good? It is based on the correct introduction of saints and nothing else. So, there are German companies, but there are no German companies. Husband has no relatives, constant and kind.

note:

1. The first and second editions of Laozi unearthed in Mawangdui Han Tomb are the oldest versions so far.

2. The silk screen part is completed with reference to the official version on the river.

With gratitude and altruism, you have me.

Let's go hand in hand.
