草木之生，	When plants and trees grow,
华叶青葱，	their flowers and leaves are onion green
皆有曲折，	and have crooked and broken veins
象类文章，	like ornaments.
谓天为文字，	If Heaven is credited with having written the above mentioned characters,
复为华叶乎？	does it make these flowers and leaves also?
宋人或刻木为楮叶者，三年乃成。	In the State of Song a man carved a mulberry-leaf of wood, and it took him three years to complete it.
孔子曰：“使天¹地三年乃成一叶，则万物之有叶者寡矣。”	Confucius said "If the Earth required three years to complete one leaf, few plants would have leaves."
如孔子之言，	According to this dictum of Confucius
万物之叶自为生也。	the leaves of plants grow spontaneously,
自为生也，	and for that reason
故能并成。	they can grow simultaneously.
如天为之，其迟当若宋人刻楮叶矣。	If Heaven made them, their growth would be as much delayed as the carving of the mulberry-leaf by the man of the Song State.
观鸟兽之毛羽，	Let us look at the hair and feathers of animals and birds,
毛羽之采色，	and their various colours.
通可为乎？	Can they all have been made?
鸟兽未能尽实。	If so, animals and birds would never be quite finished.
春观万物之生，	In spring we see the plants growing,
秋观其成，	and in autumn we see them full-grown.
天地为之乎？	Can Heaven and Earth have done this,
物自然也？	or do things grow spontaneously?
如谓天地为之，	If we may say that Heaven and Earth have done it,
为之宜用手，	they must have used hands for the purpose.
天地安得万万千千手，	Do Heaven and Earth possess many thousand or many ten thousand hands
并为万万千千物乎？	to produce thousands and ten thousands of things at the same time?
诸物在天地之间也。	The things between Heaven and Earth are like a child in his mother's womb.
犹子在母腹中也。	After ten months pregnancy the mother gives birth to the child.
母怀子气，十月而生，鼻口耳目，发肤毛理，血脉脂腴，骨节爪齿，自然成腹中乎？	Are his nose, his mouth, his ears, his hair, his eyes, his skin with down, the arteries, the fat, the bones, the joints, the nails, and the teeth grown of themselves in the womb, or has the mother made them?
母为之也？	Why is a dummy never called a man?
偶人千万，不名为人者，何也？	Because it has a nose, a mouth, ears, and eyes, but not a spontaneous nature.
鼻口耳目非性自然也。	Wu Di was very fond of his consort Wang.
武帝幸王夫人，王夫人死，思见其形。	When she had died, he pondered, whether he could not see her figure again.
道士以方术作夫人形，形成，出入宫门。	The Daoists made an artificial figure of the lady.18 When it was ready, it passed through the palace gate.
武帝大惊，立而迎之，忽不复见。	Wu Di greatly alarmed rose to meet her, but, all of a sudden, she was not seen any more.
盖非自然之真，	Since it was not a real, spontaneous being,
方士巧妄之伪，	but a semblance, artificially made by jugglers,
故一见恍忽，	it became diffuse at first sight,
消散灭亡。	dispersed, and vanished.
有为之化，其不可久行，	Everything that has been made does not last long,
犹王夫人形不可久见也。	like the image of the empress, which appeared only for a short while.
道家论自然，	The Daoist school argues on spontaneity,
不知引物事以验其言行，	but it does not know how to substantiate its cause by evidence.
故自然之说未见信也。	Therefore their theory of spontaneity has not yet found credence.
