| 6 | 敬慎: | 韓平子問於叔向曰：「剛與柔孰堅？」對曰：「臣年八十矣，齒再墮而舌尚存，老聃有言曰：『天下之至柔，馳騁乎天下之至堅。』又曰：『人之生也柔弱，其死也剛強；萬物草木之生也柔脆，其死也枯槁。因此觀之，柔弱者生之徒也，剛強者死之徒也。』夫生者毀而必復，死者破而愈亡；吾是以知柔之堅於剛也。」平子曰：「善哉！然則子之行何從？」叔向曰：「臣亦柔耳，何以剛為？」平子曰：「柔無乃?乎？」叔向曰：「柔者紐而不折，廉而不缺，何為?也？天之道，微者勝，是以兩軍相加而柔者克之；兩仇爭利，而弱者得焉。易曰：『天道虧滿而益謙，地道變滿而流謙，鬼神害滿而福謙，人道惡滿而好謙。』夫懷謙不足之，柔弱而四道者助之，則安往而不得其志乎？」平子曰：「善！」 |

| 76 | 道德經: | 人之生也柔弱，其死也堅強。萬物草木之生也柔脆，其死也枯槁。故堅強者死之徒，柔弱者生之徒。是以兵強則不勝，木強則共。強大處下，柔弱處上。 |
| Dao De Jing: |
(A warning against (trusting in) strength) Man at his birth is supple and weak; at his death, firm and strong. (So it is with) all things. Trees and plants, in their early growth, are soft and brittle; at their death, dry and withered. Thus it is that firmness and strength are the concomitants of death; softness and weakness, the concomitants of life. Hence he who (relies on) the strength of his forces does not conquer; and a tree which is strong will fill the out-stretched arms, (and thereby invites the feller.) Therefore the place of what is firm and strong is below, and that of what is soft and weak is above. |

| 1 | 戒強: | 人之生也柔弱，人生含和氣，抱精神。故柔弱也。其死也堅強。人死和氣竭，精神亡，故堅強也。萬物草木之生也柔脆，和氣存也。其死也枯槁。和氣去也。故堅強者死之徒，柔弱者生之徒。以上二事觀之，知堅強者死，柔弱者生也。是以兵強則不勝，強大之兵輕戰樂殺，毒流怨結，眾弱為一強，故不勝。木強則共。本強大則枝葉共生其上。強大處下，柔弱處上。興物造功，大木處下，小物處上。天道抑強扶弱，自然之效。 |
