《无用》

Library Resources
1 无用:
三十辐共一毂,古者车三十辐,法月数也。共一毂者,毂中有孔,故众辐共凑之。治身者当除情去欲,使五藏空虚,神乃归之。治国者寡能,摠众弱共使强也。当其无,有车之用。无,谓空虚。毂中空虚,轮得转行,舆中空虚,人得载其上也。埏埴以为器,埏,和也。埴,土也。和土以为饮食之器。当其无,有器之用。器中空虚,故得有所盛受。凿户牖以为室,谓作屋室。当其无有室之用。言户牖空虚,人得以出入观视;室中空虚,人得以居处,是其用。故有之以为利,利,物也,利于形用。器中有物,室中有人,恐其屋破坏,腹中有神,畏其形亡也。无之以为用。言虚空者乃可用盛受万物,故曰虚无能制有形。道者空也。
