ruò ㄖㄨㄛˋ (2): Same as “” běi hǎi ruò ㄅㄟˇ ㄏㄞˇ ㄖㄨㄛˋ: 北海海神名。 Ruo, a god of the Northern Sea.
| 《·》: | 順流而東行，至於北海，東面而視，不見水端，於是焉河伯始旋其面目，望洋向若而歎，曰：「野語有之曰『聞道百，以為莫己若』」 | | Along the course of the river he walked east till he came to the North Sea, over which he looked, with his face to the east, without being able to see where its waters began. Then he began to turn his face round, looked across the expanse, (as if he were) confronting Ruo, and said with a sigh, 'What the vulgar saying expresses about him who has learned a hundred points (of the Dao), and thinks that there is no one equal to himself.' |
