Chapter 13 Chapter Eleven

Thirty spokes make up a hub, and when there is nothing there, it can be used as a car.Stand upright as a tool, when there is nothing, there is a tool.Digging out households is considered a room, and if there is no room, it is used as a room.Therefore, what is there is for profit, and what is not for use. There is the saying in the previous chapter that "same function but different position" is used internally and externally, and there is an explanation in this chapter between whether there is movement or not. This article uses a lot of metaphors. First, it proposes that the car crash, which has a long way to go, can be used endlessly and endlessly. The core key is that it is empty, so it can support multiple functions.At the same time, it also makes the power of many aspects return to the central point and return the great use of the useless. The key to doing nothing and doing everything.

For example, "Thirty spokes have a total of one will, if there is nothing, there is a car." In ancient times, the hub of a large wooden cart was made, and its central fulcrum was just a small round hole.Extending from the small round hole at the center to the outside, there are a total of 30 pillars radiating together, and a large circle is wrapped around it to form a large wheel with inner and outer circles.As a result, it can take on a long-distance load and rotate endlessly to reach the destination.Taking this kind of wheel with thirty spokes to make up a big cart, can you say which pillar is the key point of the wheel's load?Every strand matters, and none of it counts.They are average forces, and all of them have exerted their great functions to complete the utility of the runner.But the central point that supports the joint efforts of all is in the small round hole in the center.But at its center, there is nothing. It neither tends to support any of the pillars, nor does it act as a fixed direction for any of the pillars.Therefore, it can be used endlessly and endlessly.

Through this physical and natural law, one can understand the key points of self-cultivation: "Cultivate the spirit and embrace the one, and be able to be without separation" cultivation, there must be nothing in the center, and the wonderful function of being in between.If it is used in great politics, "love the people and govern the country, you can be ignorant"!It is necessary to be the center of the hub like this, to be open-minded and unrepentant, and to be assisted by the crowd to complete the full power of strength. Secondly, such as "Birth is filled with utensils, if there is no one, there is a use for utensils." Birth is kneading soil.To fill in is to glue on.To make pottery, the soil must be made into a circular shape that prevents internal and external leakage, so that it is empty in the middle, so that it can be filled at will when it is needed to achieve the effect.

Only by understanding this kind of ability to be empty and empty can it have the value of holding a full load of utensils.Whether it is the way of cultivating life the day after tomorrow, "concentrating on Qi and softness, can you be a baby"!And the "Tianmen opens and closes, can there be no females" who came out to use the world!All must be "open minded like a valley", and communicate with the spirit of heaven and earth to achieve great results. Again, such as "cutting out a household to think of a room, as if there is no room, there is a room." The household is the door of the room, and the window is the sinus of the window.To build a huge house, it is necessary to open doors and windows so that light and air can circulate, so that people can live and support people.It makes people open-minded and open-minded without hindrance.From this, it is explained that the practice of "cleaning away mysteries, and being able to be flawless" requires opening up the spirit, dwelling in it quietly, keeping knowledge and hearing clean and doing nothing.If you want to apply it to the way of using the world, it is a model of "understanding the four directions, being able to do nothing".

In the end, I repeat the exhortation, whether it is the way of leaving the world or the use of entering the world, we must truly understand the subtlety of the way between existence and non-existence.Therefore, it is said: "Therefore, what is there is for profit, and what is not for use."Only by understanding this principle can one really understand the great law of "using one's life".Later in the Five Dynasties, Yu Tan Qiao, a Taoist immortal, developed the materialization thought of Taoist academic thought, combined with Lao Zhuang's theory, and wrote a famous book "Hua Shu".Among them, when it comes to physics, the magical function between existence and non-existence is elucidated to the extreme, such as:

Combatting the void into a block, seeing the block but not seeing the void, the earth is also after the creation of heaven and earth.The powder block is empty, see the empty but not See block, the soil is also when the world is chaotic.God! It can be said that it is "a god" to understand as deeply as Tan Zi!Since we are in the realm of "God is what it is", what we say is empty words, why not stop here and have nothing to say!
