《道化》

Library Resources
1 道化:
道生一,道使所生者一也。一生二,一生阴与阳也。二生三,阴阳生和、清、浊三气,分为天地人也。三生万物。天地人共生万物也,天施地化,人长养之也。万物负阴而抱阳,万物无不负阴而向阳,回心而就日。冲气以为和。万物中皆有元气,得以和柔,若胸中有藏,骨中有髓,草木中有空虚与气通,故得久生也。人之所恶,惟孤﹑寡﹑不谷,而王公以为称。孤寡不毂者,不祥之名,而王公以为称者,处谦卑,法空虚和柔。故物或损之而益,引之不得,推之必还。或益之而损。夫增高者志崩,贪富者致患。人之所教,谓众人所教,去弱为强,去柔为刚。我亦教之。言我教众人,使去强为弱,去柔为刚。强梁者不得其死,强粱者,谓不信玄妙,背叛道德,不从经教,尚势任力也。不得其死者,为天命所绝,兵刃所伐,王法所杀,不得以寿命死。吾将以为教父。父,使也。老子以强梁之人为教,诫之始也。
