"Zhuangzi Outer Chapter Thirteenth Way of Heaven" The way of heaven is luck without accumulation, so all things come into being; the way of emperors is luck without accumulation, so the world returns; the way of saints is luck without accumulation, so the sea is served.Those who are bright in the sky, connected with the sage, and open up the six connections and four connections with the emperor's virtue, they are self-acting, and there is no one who is not quiet!The tranquility of a sage is not to say that tranquility is also good, so tranquility is also.There is nothing enough to disturb the heart in all things, so it is quiet.When the water is still, the eyebrows are bright, and the level is accurate, and the master can learn how to do it.The water is still and bright, but the spirit!The heart of a saint is at peace!The mirror of heaven and earth, the mirror of all things.If the husband is vacant, quiet, indifferent, indifferent and inactive, the world is peaceful and the morality is perfect.Therefore, emperors and saints rest.Suspension is emptiness, emptiness is reality, and reality is morality.Emptiness leads to stillness, stillness leads to movement, and movement leads to success.If you are still, you will do nothing, and if you do nothing, then those who do things will be held accountable.If you do nothing, you will be Yu Yu.Those of Yu and Yu can't deal with sorrows, and they live a long life.Husbands who are emptiness, tranquility, indifference, indifference and inaction are the foundation of all things.Ming this to the south, Yao is the king; Ming this to the north, Shun is the minister.From above, the virtue of the emperor and the son of heaven; from below, the way of Xuansheng Suwang.With this retreat and wandering, the people of the rivers, seas, mountains and forests will be subdued; if this is the way to advance and care for the world, the merits and fame will be prominent and the world will be unified.Quietness is holy, movement is king, doing nothing is respectful, simplicity is unmatched by the world.Those who understand the virtues of the heaven and the earth are called those who have a great foundation and are in harmony with the heavens.Therefore, evenly adjusting the world, and those who are in harmony with others.Those who are in harmony with people are called human happiness; those who are in harmony with heaven are called heavenly happiness.Zhuangzi said: "My teacher, my teacher! It is not cruel to touch all things; it is not benevolent to reach all ages; it is not longevity to be longer than the ancient times; it is not clever to cover the world and carve all shapes." It is called Tianle.Therefore, it is said: Those who know the joy of heaven will live in heaven, and their death will also materialize.Static and yin with the same virtue, moving and yang with the same wave.Therefore, those who know the joy of heaven have no grievances from heaven, no blame from anyone, no burden of things, and no blame from ghosts.Therefore, it is said: Its movement is the sky, its stillness is the earth, and it dominates the world with one mind;Words can be extended to heaven and earth with emptiness and tranquility, and they can be connected to all things. This is called heavenly joy.Those who are happy in heaven, the heart of a saint is like an animal in the world.

The virtue of the emperor is based on the heaven and the earth, the morality is the main, and the inaction is the constant.If you do nothing, you use the world and have a surplus; if you do something, you use the world and there is not enough.Therefore, in ancient times, noble husbands did nothing.The top does nothing, and the bottom also does nothing. The bottom and the top have the same virtue.If the lower and the upper have the same virtue, then they will not be ministers.The bottom has something to do, and the top has something to do, and the top and the bottom are on the same path.If the top and the bottom are in the same way, it is not the master.The top must do nothing to use the bottom, and the bottom must have something to use for the world.This is not an easy way.

Therefore, the king of the world in ancient times knew that although he fell into the sky and the earth, he did not think about himself; although he debated and carved all things, he did not speak for himself;The sky does not give birth but all things are transformed, the earth does not grow but all things grow, and the emperor does nothing but the world works.Therefore, it is said: There is no god in the sky, no wealth in the earth, and nothing greater than the emperor.Therefore, it is said: the virtue of the emperor matches the heaven and the earth.This rides the heavens and the earth, rides all things, and uses the way of the crowd.

The origin lies in the top, and the end lies in the bottom;The luck of the three armies and five soldiers is the end of virtue; rewards and punishments are the end of virtue; rewards and punishments are the end of five punishments, and the end of education;綕, the service of Longsha, the end of mourning.These five ends require the luck of the spirit, the movement of the mind, and then those who follow it.At the end of the day, the ancients had it, not because of it.The ruler comes first and the subject follows, the father comes first and the son follows, the elder brother comes first and the younger brother follows, the elder comes first and the younger follows, the male comes first and the female follows, the husband comes first and the wife follows.Husbands are superior and inferior, and the journey of heaven and earth is also, so the sage follows the image.The sky is respected and the earth is humble, and the position of the gods is also; spring and summer come first, autumn and winter follow, and the sequence of the four seasons;After all, heaven and earth are gods, and there is an order of superiority and inferiority, let alone human beings!The ancestral temple respects relatives, the imperial court respects respect, the township party respects teeth, conducts respect virtue, and the order of the Dao is also.Those who talk about the way rather than its sequence are not the way.Those who talk about the Tao but not the Tao can follow the Tao!

Therefore, in the ancient way of enlightening the Dao, tomorrow is the first, followed by morality; when morality is clear, benevolence and righteousness are next; , because the appointment is clear and the original province is second, the original province is clear but not second, right and wrong are clear and rewards and punishments are second, rewards and punishments are clear and fools know how to deal with them, the high and the low occupy the position, and the benevolent and virtuous are not worthy of love.It must be divided according to its ability, and it must be named after it.Use this matter, use this animal, use this to govern things, and use this to cultivate yourself. If you don't know how to plan, you will return to heaven.This is called Daping, and it is the ultimate in governance.Therefore, the book says: "There is a shape and a name." The ancients had the shape and the name, not because of it.As the old saying goes, there are five changes, but the shape and name can be cited, and nine changes, and rewards and punishments can be said.Suddenly speaking of form and name, one does not know its origin; suddenly speaking of reward and punishment, one does not know its origin.To put it mildly, those who speak in advance of the Tao can govern people, and they can govern people!Suddenly, the form of the word is called reward and punishment, which has the tool of knowing and governing, not the way of knowing and governing.It can be used in the world, but it is not enough to use it in the world.This is called a debater, a person who plays a song.The etiquette is repeated several times, and the shape and name are compared in detail, as the ancients had.The reason why things are going up here is not because the things going up are not the reason why things go down.

In the past, Shun asked Yu Yao: "What is the heart of the king of heaven?" Yao said: "I will not be arrogant, I will not abandon the poor, the poor, the poor, the poor, and the women. This is why I have my heart." Shun said: "Beauty is beauty, but it is not great." Yao said: "How about it?" Shun said: "Heavenly virtues come out of peace, the sun and the moon shine and travel at four o'clock, as if there are scriptures in day and night, clouds travel and rain applies. "Yao said: "Jiaojiao disturbs you! Son, the union of heaven; I, the union of man." The master of heaven and earth, the greatness of the ancients, and the beauty of the Yellow Emperor, Yao, and Shun.Therefore, the king of the world in ancient times, what is Xi Weizai?It's just heaven and earth!

Confucius’ Tibetan books were in Zhou’s room, and Zilu Mou said: “If you hear that there are old Dans in the history of Zhou’s expedition to Tibet, you will be exempt and return home. If you want to collect books, you will try to find out why.” Confucius said: “Good.” Lao Dan refused, so he turned to the Twelve Classics to explain.Lao Dan said in his words, saying: "Great man, I would like to hear what he wants." Confucius said: "It is in benevolence and righteousness." Lao Dan said: "Excuse me: benevolence and righteousness, human nature is evil?" Confucius said: "However, a gentleman is not benevolent If it doesn’t work, it won’t happen if it’s injustice. Benevolence and righteousness are the nature of a real person, so why don’t they be ridiculed?” Old Dan said: “Excuse me: What is benevolence and righteousness?” Confucius said: “The heart is open, and at the same time love is selfless. This is the feeling of benevolence and righteousness. Also." Lao Dan said: "meaning, almost later! A husband who loves at the same time is not a pedantic man! Selflessness is selfishness. If the master wants to make the world have no loss of its shepherd? Then the heaven and the earth are inherently permanent, and the sun and the moon are inherent. It is clear, the stars are inherently lined up, the animals are inherently grouped, and the trees are inherently standing. The master also walks with virtue, escapes and flees, and it has come to an end! What verses are about exposing benevolence and righteousness, like beating a drum to ask for a dead son? I mean, Master messes with human nature."

Shi Chengqi saw Lao Tzu and asked, "I heard that my master is also a saint. I have come from a long way to wish to see him, but I dare not rest after a hundred homes. Now I see that my son is not a saint. I have leftovers and abandoned my sister. It's not benevolent! Life and maturity are endless, but there is no cliff in accumulation." Lao Tzu responded indifferently.Shi Chengqi will see you again tomorrow, and said: "In the past, I was stabbed at the son, but now my heart is straight, why?" Lao Tzu said: "The husband knows the holy man, and I think I am free. The former son called I am an ox and I call it an ox; I call me a horse and I call it a horse. If it is true, people will not accept the name of it, and then suffer from it. I obey and I will always obey, and I am not obedient." Shi Cheng Qi Yan walks to avoid the shadows, and then advances to perform, and asks how to cultivate one's morality.Lao Tzu said: "The face is steep, and the eyes are sharp, and the mouth (upper left, "month", lower left, and "right" page") is natural, and the mouth is clear, and the shape is clear. It seems to be tied to a horse. When you move and hold it, when you send it, you have the opportunity, when you inspect it and judge it, if you know it and see Yu Tai, everyone thinks it is not believed. There are people around, and it is called stealing."

Lao Tzu said: "The Dao of the Husband does not end in the big, and does not leave in the small, so everything is ready. The vastness is beyond tolerance, and the abyss is beyond measure. Form, virtue, benevolence and righteousness are the end of gods. It can be determined! When people have a world, it is not too big, but it is not enough to be tired of it; In the outer world, all things are left behind, but the gods have never been trapped. It is in line with the Tao, in line with virtue, retreating from benevolence and righteousness, courtesies and music, and the heart of the most human beings is determined!"

Books are the most valuable thing in the world.Books are nothing but words, and words are expensive.The most precious thing in language is the meaning, and the meaning follows.Those who follow the meaning cannot be conveyed in words, and the world is expensive to pass on words.Although the world is expensive, I am not worthy of it, because it is not so expensive.Therefore, what can be seen by seeing is form and color; what can be heard by hearing is also name and sound.sad husband!People in the world use all kinds of fame as enough to get their love.If the husband's reputation and reputation are not enough to win his love, then those who know will not speak, and those who speak will not know, and the world will never know it!

Duke Huan read in the upper hall, the wheel was flattened and the wheel was in the lower hall, and the spine was chiseled up. He asked Duke Huan, "Dare to ask: "What is wrong with the readers of the Duke? "The Duke said:" The words of the sage are also. "Said:" the saint cares? "The Duke said:" He is dead. "He said: "But what you read is the dross of the ancients! "Huan Gong said: "The widow reads, and the wheel is safe to discuss!If you have something to say, you can, if you don't say it, you will die! "Lun Bian said: "The minister also sees it from the minister's affairs.Chop the wheel, if it is slow, it will be sweet but not solid, if it is sick, it will be bitter but not enter it, if it is neither slow nor sick, it can be obtained in the hand but should be in the heart, the mouth cannot speak, and the number is stored in it.The minister cannot use it as a metaphor for the son of the minister, and the son of the minister cannot accept it from the minister, so he is old at the age of seventy.The ancients are dead even if they cannot be passed on, but what you read, the dross of the ancients is gone!
