《第八十章》[View] [Edit] [History]

1 (河上公注本作独立章,彭本作小国章)
2 小国寡民。使有什伯人之器而不用。使民重死而不远徙。虽有舟舆,无所乘之。虽有甲兵,无所陈之。使民复结绳而用之。甘其食,美其服,安其居,乐其俗。邻国相望,鸡犬之声相闻,民至老死,不相往来。
3 客有欲为国大民众者,使有亿兆人之器而不用,斯其用必愈足矣。拟将返古还初也。太上则不然,举小以例大,言其小而大者可知。夫国小民寡,使有什伯人之器而不用,则其用必愈多矣,何难返朴还淳乎?故使民不用其器,惟宝其身。只居本土,弗徙他邦。重死而不死,养生而长生,外何有乎?斯时也,国中之人步履轻健,故有舟车不乘也。国中之境,盗贼全无,故有甲兵不陈也。国中之治,浑厚质实,结绳之风可续也。甘食美服,安居乐俗,邻国相望,鸡犬相闻,民至老死,不相往来,则应酬简而不启繁华,物用丰而各安家室。国之高人曰:一丘一壑,自谓过于人间也。一春一秋,宛若忘于壶中也。爷爷母母康永寿,夫夫妇妇长相随。兄兄弟弟吹埙篪,子子孙孙调鸾鹤。又何异洞天福地,极乐世界哉?
