1 淳风:
以正治国,以,至也。天使正身之人,使有国也。以奇用兵,奇,诈也。天使诈伪之人,使用兵也。以无事取天下。以无事无为之人,使取天下为之主。吾何以知其然哉,以此。此,今也。老子言,我何以知天意然哉,以今日所见知。天下多忌讳而民弥贫。天下谓人主也。忌讳者防禁也。今烦则奸生,禁多则下诈,相殆故贫。民多利器,国家滋昏。利器者,权也。民多权则视者眩于目,听者惑于耳,上下不亲,故国家昏乱。人多伎巧,奇物滋起。人谓人君、百里诸侯也。多技巧,谓刻画宫观,雕琢章服,奇物滋起,下则化上,饰金镂玉,文绣彩色日以滋甚。法物滋彰,盗贼多有。法物,好物也。珍好之物滋生彰著,则农事废,饥寒并至,而盗贼多有也。故圣人云:谓下事也。我无为而民自化,圣人言:我修道承天,无所改作,而民自化成也。我好静而民自正,圣人言:我好静,不言不教,而民自忠正也。我无事而民自富,我无徭役徵召之事,民安其业故皆自富也。我无欲而民自朴。我常无欲,去华文,微服饰,民则随我为质朴也。圣人言:我修道守真,绝去六情,民自随我而清也。
