| 6 | 致士: | 程者、物之準也，禮者、節之準也；程以立數，禮以定倫；德以敘位，能以授官。凡節奏欲陵，而生民欲寬；節奏陵而文，生民寬而安；上文下安，功名之極也，不可以加矣。 |

| 7 | 齊物論: | 古之人，其知有所至矣。惡乎至？有以為未始有物者，至矣盡矣，不可以加矣。其次以為有物矣，而未始有封也。其次以為有封焉，而未始有是非也。是非之彰也，道之所以虧也。道之所以虧，愛之所以成。果且有成與虧乎哉？果且無成與虧乎哉？有成與虧，故昭氏之鼓琴也；無成與虧，故昭氏之不鼓琴也。昭文之鼓琴也，師曠之枝策也，惠子之據梧也，三子之知幾乎！皆其盛者也，故載之末年。唯其好之也，以異於彼，其好之也，欲以明之彼。非所明而明之，故以堅白之昧終。而其子又以文之綸終，終身無成。若是而可謂成乎，雖我亦成也。若是而不可謂成乎，物與我無成也。是故滑疑之耀，聖人之所圖也。為是不用而寓諸庸，此之謂以明。 |
| The Adjustment of Controversies:...: | Among the men of old their knowledge reached the extreme point. What was that extreme point? Some held that at first there was not anything. This is the extreme point, the utmost point to which nothing can be added. A second class held that there was something, but without any responsive recognition of it (on the part of men). A third class held that there was such recognition, but there had not begun to be any expression of different opinions about it. It was through the definite expression of different opinions about it that there ensued injury to (the doctrine of) the Dao. It was this injury to the (doctrine of the) Dao which led to the formation of (partial) preferences. Was it indeed after such preferences were formed that the injury came? or did the injury precede the rise of such preferences? If the injury arose after their formation, Zhao's method of playing on the lute was natural. If the injury arose before their formation, there would have been no such playing on the lute as Zhao's. Zhao Wen's playing on the lute, Shi Kuang's indicating time with his staff, and Huizi's (giving his views), while leaning against a dryandra tree (were all extraordinary). The knowledge of the three men (in their several arts) was nearly perfect, and therefore they practised them to the end of their lives. They loved them because they were different from those of others. They loved them and wished to make them known to others. But as they could not be made clear, though they tried to make them so, they ended with the obscure (discussions) about 'the hard' and 'the white.' And their sons, moreover, with all the threads of their fathers' compositions, yet to the end of their lives accomplished nothing. If they, proceeding in this way, could be said to have succeeded, then am I also successful; if they cannot be pronounced successful, neither I nor any other can succeed. Therefore the scintillations of light from the midst of confusion and perplexity are indeed valued by the sagely man; but not to use one's own views and to take his position on the ordinary views is what is called using the (proper) light. |

| 12 | 庚桑楚: | 古之人，其知有所至矣。惡乎至？有以為未始有物者，至矣盡矣，弗可以加矣。其次以為有物矣，將以生為喪也，以死為反也，是以分已。其次曰始無有，既而有生，生俄而死；以無有為首，以生為體，以死為尻。孰知有無死生之一守者，吾與之為友。是三者雖異，公族也，昭、景也，著戴也，甲氏也，著封也。非一也。 |
| Geng-sang Chu: | Among the ancients there were those whose knowledge reached the extreme point. And what was that point? There were some who thought that in the beginning there was nothing. This was the extreme point, the completest reach of their knowledge, to which nothing could be added. Again, there were those who supposed that (in the beginning) there were existences, proceeding to consider life to be a (gradual) perishing, and death a returning (to the original state). And there they stopped, making, (however), a distinction between life and death. Once again there were those who said, 'In the beginning there was nothing; by and by there was life; and then in a little time life was succeeded by death. We hold that non-existence was the head, life the body, and death the os coccygis. But of those who acknowledge that existence and nonexistence, death and life, are all under the One Keeper, we are the friends.' Though those who maintained these three views were different, they were so as the different branches of the same ruling Family (of Chu) - the Zhaos and the Kings, bearing the surname of the lord whom they honoured as the author of their branch, and the Jias named from their appanage - (all one, yet seeming) not to be one. |

| 1 | 振亂: | 當今之世，濁甚矣，黔首之苦，不可以加矣。天子既絕，賢者廢伏，世主恣行，與民相離，黔首無所告愬。世有賢主秀士，宜察此論也，則其兵為義矣。天下之民，且死者也而生，且辱者也而榮，且苦者也而逸。世主恣行，則中人將逃其君、去其親，又況於不肖者乎？故義兵至，則世主不能有其民矣，人親不能禁其子矣。 |

| 5 | 長利: | 戎夷違齊如魯，天大寒而後門，與弟子一人宿於郭外，寒愈甚，謂其弟子曰：「子與我衣，我活也；我與子衣，子活也。我國士也。為天下惜死；子不肖人也，不足愛也。子與我子之衣。」弟子曰：「夫不肖人也，又惡能與國士之衣哉？」戎夷太息歎曰：「嗟乎！道其不濟夫。」解衣與弟子，夜半而死，弟子遂活。謂戎夷其能必定一世，則未之識；若夫欲利人之心，不可以加矣。達乎分仁愛之心識也，故能以必死見其義。 |
