	Dao De Jing:	(The origin of the law) The things which from of old have got the One (the Dao) are - Heaven which by it is bright and pure; Earth rendered thereby firm and sure; Spirits with powers by it supplied; Valleys kept full throughout their void All creatures which through it do live Princes and kings who from it get The model which to all they give. All these are the results of the One (Dao). If heaven were not thus pure, it soon would rend; If earth were not thus sure, 'twould break and bend; Without these powers, the spirits soon would fail; If not so filled, the drought would parch each vale; Without that life, creatures would pass away; Princes and kings, without that moral sway, However grand and high, would all decay. Thus it is that dignity finds its (firm) root in its (previous) meanness, and what is lofty finds its stability in the lowness (from which it rises). Hence princes and kings call themselves 'Orphans,' 'Men of small virtue,' and as 'Carriages without a nave.' Is not this an acknowledgment that in their considering themselves mean they see the foundation of their dignity? So it is that in the enumeration of the different parts of a carriage we do not come on what makes it answer the ends of a carriage. They do not wish to show themselves elegant-looking as jade, but (prefer) to be coarse-looking as an (ordinary) stone.

法本:

昔之得一者：昔，往也。一，無為，道之子也。天得一以清，言天得一故能垂象清明。地得一以寧，言地得一故能安靜不動搖。神得一以靈，言神得一故能變化無形。谷得一以盈，言谷得一故能盈滿而不絕也萬物得一以生，言萬物皆須道以生成也。侯王得一以為天下貞。言侯王得一故能為天下平正其致之。致，誡也。謂下六事也。天無以清將恐裂，言天當有陰陽弛張，晝夜更用，不可但欲清明無已時，將恐分裂不為天。地無以寧將恐發，言地當有高下剛柔，節氣五行，不可但欲安靜無已時，將恐發泄不為地。神無以靈將恐歇，言神當有王相囚死休廢，不可但欲靈變無已時，將恐虛歇不為神。谷無以盈將恐竭，言谷當有盈縮虛實，不可但欲盈滿無已時，將恐枯竭不為谷。萬物無以生將恐滅，言萬物當隨時生死，不可但欲長生無已時，將恐滅亡不為物。侯王無以貴高將恐蹶。言侯王當屈己以下人，汲汲求賢，不可但欲貴高於人無已時，將恐顛蹶失其位。故貴以賤為本，言必欲尊貴，當以薄賤為本，若禹稷躬稼，舜陶河濱，周公下白屋也。高以下為基言必欲尊貴，當以下為本基，猶築牆造功，因卑成高，不下堅固，後必傾危。是以侯王自謂孤、寡、不轂。孤寡喻孤獨，不轂喻不能如車轂為眾輻所湊。此非以賤為本邪？言侯王至尊貴，能以孤寡自稱，此非以賤為本乎，以曉人？非乎！嗟嘆之辭。故致數輿無輿，致，就也。言人就車數之為輻、為輪、為轂、為衡、為轝，無有名為車者，故成為車，以喻侯王不以尊號自名，故能成其貴。不欲琭琭如玉，珞珞如石。琭琭喻少，落落喻多，玉少故見貴，石多故見賤。言不欲如玉為人所貴，如石為人所賤，當處其中也。

德經:

昔之得一者，昔，往也。一，無為。天得一以清，地得一以寧，言天得一，故能垂象清明，地得一，故能安静不動摇。神得一以靈，言神得一，故能變化無形。谷得一以盈，言谷得一，故能盈滿而不絕。萬物得一以生，言萬物皆須道生成也。侯王得一以為天下貞，言侯王得一，故能為天下平正也。天無以清，將恐裂，言天當有陰陽晝夜，不可但欲清明無已時，恐將分裂不為天也。地無以寧，將恐發，言地當有高下，剛柔，不可但欲安静無已時，將恐發泄不為地。神無以靈，將恐歇，言神當有王相休廢，不可但欲盈滿無已時，將恐虛歇不為神。谷無以盈，將恐竭，言谷當有盈縮虛實，不可但欲盈滿無已時，將恐枯竭不為谷。萬物無以生，將恐滅，言萬物當隨時死生，不可但欲常生無已時，將恐滅亡不為物也。侯王無以貴高，將恐蹶，言侯王當屈己下人，汲汲求賢，不可但欲貴高於人，將恐顛蹶，失其位也。故貴必以賤為本，言必欲尊貴，當以薄賤為本，若禹稷躬稼，舜陶河濱，周公下白屋也。高必以下為基，言必欲尊貴，當以下為本。是以侯王自稱孤，寡，不轂，孤，寡，喻孤獨，不轂，喻不能如車轂，為衆輻所凑也。此其其作非以賤為本本下有邪字。侯王至尊貴，能以孤寡自稱，此非以賤為本乎。
