Volume One Changxuan

Baopuzi said, "Xuan is the progenitor of nature and the supreme principle of all differences." It is so insignificant and profound that it is called "micro". It is so long and far-reaching that it is called wonderful. Its height covers the nine heavens, and its vastness envelops the eight corners. The light is like the sun and the moon, and the speed is like lightning. Sometimes it flashes and vanishes, sometimes it floats and flows like stars, sometimes it ripples in the deep and clear water, sometimes it is misty and floats like clouds. Because of the auras, it is existent; because of the stillness, it is non-existent. Sinking into the vast and secluded realm, ascending to the extreme of Lingchen. Gold and stone cannot compare with its hardness, and the fine dew cannot wait for its softness. Square but not regular, round but not regular. Come and don't see, go and don't chase. Qian is high because of his height, Kun is low because of his humility, Yun is proactive because of his actions, and rain is generous because of its grace. The yuan is one, the fan casts two yi, the inhalation and exhalation are great, the drum refines all kinds of creatures, the 佪 spins four and seven, the craftsman creates the grass flavor, the horse wields the spirit, the four qi are praised, the dark and the silent, the relaxed and the bright and the clear, the river and the wei, the increase does not overflow, the intake does not become scarce, the exchange does not become prosperous, the capture does not become exhausted. Therefore, where the mysterious lies, joy never ceases. Where the mysterious departs, the corrupt and the divine vanish. The five tones and eight tones, the characteristics of the Qing Dynasty's commercial flow, are also detrimental to hearing. Splendor and beauty, as well as elegance and blemish, are all detrimental to clarity. A feast of ease and comfort, with clear wine and fine wine, is a disturbance to one's nature. A charming and alluring appearance, with a refined and ostentatious demeanor, is a threat to one's life. Only the mysterious way can last forever. Those who do not know the way of the universe, though 顾眄 are the divine tools for life and death, the kiss is the key to rise and fall, the elegant pavilion overlooks the clouds and rain, and the green of the algae room is uneven. When the tent is set up, the mist converges; when the Luo Rou is left, the clouds disperse. The western MAO stands in a leisurely room, the golden cups bloom in a galloping manner, the clear string noise 囋 to sing in unison, the Zheng dance 纟 soft 蜲, the mournful flute sounds like the rosy clouds, the feather covers float on the ripples, gathering the blooming flowers in the garden of orchids and forests, setting up red flowers in the pool of pearls, climbing high to look far and forget all worries, approaching deep to look down and forget the hunger of the morning, entering to entertain a thousand families of the emperor, leaving 駈 the splendid ceremony of the red boat. However, when joy reaches its peak, sorrow accumulates; when there is abundance, there must be deficiency. Therefore, when the music ends, one laments; when the swallows cease, the heart is filled with sorrow. To manage the prompt of the situation is to influence the direction of the return. It is a false borrowing rather than the true one, so it seems that there is something left behind. The essence of the Taoist way lies in obtaining it internally, maintaining it externally, using it as the divine, and forgetting it as a tool. This is the key point of thinking about the Taoist way. Those who obtain it are valued and do not need the might of Huang Yue. Those who possess it will become rich; there is no need for rare goods. Unclimbable and unfathomable. Riding the flowing light, soaring through the scenery, transcending the six void, and integrating and embracing. Beyond the supreme, entering the boundless. Through the gates of sweat, in the wilderness of 窈. In a state of carefree and trance, one wanders through the surface of seeming. Swallow the nine flowers in the clouds and savor the six qi in Danxia. Wandering in the vast and vague, soaring in the faint, walking on the meandering rainbow, and practicing the slow and twisting, this is what one has achieved. Secondly, one should be truly content. Those who are content can live in seclusion and waste their time, enjoying their leisure in the mountains and forests. With the wings of a phoenix and the wings of a dragon, one nurtures a noble spirit in a humble abode. Youdaoplaceholder0 The rope is not used to trade the dragon's seal. A negative walking stick 䇲, not a post post that is easy to gather horses. Hiding the night light on the Songxiu Mountain, one is not attacked by other mountains. Shen Bingjia was placed in the Xuan Yuan to avoid the disaster of being burned by the drill. When one moves and rests, knowing when to stop, there is no shortage in any direction. Abandon the splendor of the dynasty and avoid the perilous road of speeding vehicles. Singing the leisure of the vast cliff, all things turn to dust and fragrance. Under Yi Yan Feng Ke, Zhu Hu became a rope pivot. Holding the plow and the field, yet commanding the land suddenly seems like holding a whip. Sipping 荈 to wash the spring, and being too firm is the same as veratorio. Thiel has the pleasure of doing nothing and the joy of balancing the high and the low in a place where he does not contend. Rich in purity and simplicity, free from desires and worries, pure and illusory, living in peace and having a mild taste. Grand and sweeping, as well as complete and integrated, await their natural course. Vast and boundless, it is in harmony with nature. As dark as bright, as turbid as clear, as slow as fast, as deficient as full. How could one entrust the seat of Shi Zhu, the position of a master craftsman, to more than 樽俎 replace the ignorant work, and abandon the rope and ink to assist in the work that hurts the hand? Do not let the trivialities of a stinking rat cause the worries and pleasures of an ordinary person. He is contemptuous of the praise of the common people, and he is not afraid of the destruction of the same. It should not be pursued to the utmost precision by external things, nor should its purity be tainted by gains or losses. Therefore, the rich and the poor are not enough to lure them, and the rest are not enough to please them. A sharp blade boiling over a cauldron is not enough to bring disaster upon it; how can slander and abuse be enough to cause sorrow? Often, one is not preoccupied with the troubles of the masses, and thus fails to get entangled with things. If a man wields a Sui pearl to catch a sparrow, licks a Qin hemorrhoid to own a chariot, ascends a rotten string to explore a nest, swims in Luliang in search of fish, at dawn he is a lonely guest, and at night he is the rest of foxes and birds. The world's efforts carry and reach, and the achievements of those who have reached are chilling and sorrowful Therefore, the wise man heshao xia tao algae 棁.." Let his six feathers stand firm in the ruins of the five cities, without bothering the guards holding the reed. It covers its scales and corners in places where they are not needed, rather than relying on the completeness of its curved points. There is no cry of 倨鵄 from below, no regret of extreme exuberance from above, no human understanding, how vast and profound!
