| 1 | 俗薄: | 大道廢，有仁義。大道之時，家有孝子，戶有忠信，仁義不見也。大道廢不用，惡逆生，乃有仁義可傳道。智慧出，有大偽。智慧之君賤德而貴言，賤質而貴文，下則應之以為大偽姦詐。六親不和，有孝慈。六紀絕，親戚不合，乃有孝慈相牧養也。國家昏亂，有忠臣。政令不明，上下相怨，邪僻爭權，乃有忠臣匡正其君也。此言天下太平不知仁，人盡無欲不知廉，各自潔己不知貞。大道之世，仁義沒，孝慈滅，猶日中盛明，眾星失光。 |
| When the great Dao is abandoned, benevolence and righteousness arise. In the time of the Great Dao, every family had filial sons and every household had loyal and trustworthy people; benevolence and righteousness were not seen. When the Great Dao is discarded and not practiced, evil and rebelliousness arise, thus giving rise to benevolence and righteousness that can be passed down as a doctrine. When wisdom and knowledge emerge, there is great hypocrisy. A ruler who values wisdom and knowledge looks down on virtue but esteems words, despises simplicity but prizes ornamentation; those below then respond by practicing great hypocrisy and deceit. When the six relatives are not harmonious, filial piety and parental kindness arise. When the Six Bonds are severed and relatives do not get along, then there is filial piety and paternal kindness to care for one another. When a country and its state are in confusion and disorder, loyal ministers arise. When government orders are unclear, the upper and lower classes resent each other, and crooked and perverse people vie for power, then loyal ministers arise to correct their ruler. This means that in a peaceful and harmonious world, people do not know benevolence; when all are without desire, they do not know integrity; when each cleanses themselves, they do not know chastity. In the era of the Great Dao, benevolence and righteousness vanish; filial piety and parental love are extinguished—like at noon when sunlight is bright, all stars lose their luster. |
