28 道德经:
知其雄,守其雌,为天下溪。为天下溪,常德不离,复归于婴儿。知其白,守其黑,为天下式。为天下式,常德不忒,复归于无极。知其荣,守其辱,为天下谷。为天下谷,常德乃足,复归于朴。朴散则为器,圣人用之,则为官长,故大制不割。
Dao De Jing:
(Returning to simplicity)
Who knows his manhood's strength,
Yet still his female feebleness maintains;
As to one channel flow the many drains,
All come to him, yea, all beneath the sky.
Thus he the constant excellence retains;
The simple child again, free from all stains.

Who knows how white attracts,
Yet always keeps himself within black's shade,
The pattern of humility displayed,
Displayed in view of all beneath the sky;
He in the unchanging excellence arrayed,
Endless return to man's first state has made.
Who knows how glory shines,
Yet loves disgrace, nor ever for it is pale;
Behold his presence in a spacious vale,
To which men come from all beneath the sky.
The unchanging excellence completes its tale;
The simple infant man in him we hail.

The unwrought material, when divided and distributed, forms vessels. The sage, when employed, becomes the Head of all the Officers (of government); and in his greatest regulations he employs no violent measures.

1 反朴:
知其雄,守其雌,为天下溪。雄以喻尊,雌以喻卑。人虽自知其尊显,当复守之以卑微,去雄之强梁,就雌之柔和,如是则天下归之,如水流入深溪也。为天下溪,常德不离,人能谦下如深溪,则德常在,不复离于己。复归于婴儿。当复归志于婴儿,蠢然而无所知也。知其白守其黑,为天下式。白以喻昭昭,黑以喻默默。人虽自知昭昭,明白当复守之以默默,如暗昧无所见,如是则可为天下法式,则德常在。为天下式,常德不忒,人能为天下法式,则德常在于己,不复差忒。复归于无极。德不差忒,则常生久寿,归身于无穷极也。知其荣,守其辱,为天下谷。荣以喻尊贵,辱以喻污浊。人能知己之有荣贵,当复守之以污浊,如是则天下归之,如水流入深谷也。为天下谷,常德乃足足,止也。人能为天下谷,则德乃常止于己。复归于朴。复当归身于质朴,不复为文饰。朴散则为器,器,用也。万物之朴散则为器用也。若道散则为神明,流为日月,分为五行也。圣人用之则为官长。圣人升用则为百官之元长也。故大制不割。圣人用之则以大道制御天下,无所伤割,治身则以大道制御情欲,不害精神也。

2 论人:
何谓反诸己也?适耳目,节嗜欲,释智谋,去巧故,而游意乎无穷之次,事心乎自然之涂,若此则无以害其天矣。无以害其天则知精,知精则知神,知神之谓得一。凡彼万形,得一后成。故知一,则应物变化,阔大渊深,不可测也。德行昭美,比于日月,不可息也。豪士时之,远方来宾,不可塞也。意气宣通,无所束缚,不可收也。故知知一,则复归于朴,嗜欲易足,取养节薄,不可得也。离世自乐,中情洁白,不可量也。威不能惧,严不能恐,不可服也。故知知一,则可动作当务,与时周旋,不可极也。举错以数,取与遵理,不可惑也。言无遗者,集肌肤,不可革也。谗人困穷,贤者遂兴,不可匿也。故知知一,则若天地然,则何事之不胜,何物之不应?譬之若御者,反诸己,则车轻马利,致远复食而不倦。昔上世之亡主,以罪为在人,故日杀僇而不止,以至于亡而不悟。三代之兴王,以罪为在己,故日功而不衰,以至于王。

23 赋敛:
《庄子》曰:北宫奢为卫灵公赋敛以锺,为坛于郭门之外,三日而成,上下之悬。王子庆忌见而问焉,曰:“子何术设之?”奢曰:“无敢设也。奢闻之,既雕,复归于朴。还其用本性也。伺乎其无识,任其纯朴而已。傥兮其怠疑。无所取也。华兮其送往而迎来。无所欣悦。来者勿禁,往者无止;任彼尔也。从其强梁,从于众也。随其曲傅,无所系也。因其自穷,用其不得不尔。故朝夕赋敛而毫毛不挫,故无损也。而况有大涂者乎?”
