p>Promote power
Heaven has a great destiny, and people have a great destiny. The husband is fragrant and crispy, rich in wine and fat, sweet in taste but sick in shape; graceful and white in teeth, interceding and donating sperm. Therefore, even if you leave Tai, your body will be harmless. If you don't want to see power, you will do nothing. Things are in the four directions, but we must be in the center. The sage insists on what is important, and all directions come to follow suit. Wait for it in vain, and he will take it for himself. The four seas are hidden, and the yin of the Tao meets the yang. The left and right sides are already standing, and the door should be opened. Don’t change, don’t be easy, keep doing both. If you keep doing it, it is called fulfilling the rules. There are things that are appropriate for each person, and materials that are appropriate for each place. Therefore, there is no action from above or below. Make the rooster watch the night, make the raccoon catch the rat, all use their abilities, and nothing will happen. If you are good at what you do, things will go wrong. He is reserved and good at ability, and he will be bullied by others: he is good at arguing and benefiting, and he will be bullied by his talents. It is easy to use up and down, and the national legacy is not cured. Using the principle of oneness, the name is the first, the name is Zhengwu Ding, and the name relies on things to migrate. Therefore, the sage sticks to one thing and is still, so that the name can be determined by itself and the matter can be determined by itself. If you don't see the harvest, it's just plain. So let it go, and let it do its own thing; give it to it, and it will do its own thing; deal with it right, and let it all settle down on its own. The above mentioned it by name, but without knowing its name, it restored its shape. The shape and name are the same, and they are born from them. The two are honest, and the bottom line is tribute.

Promote power
Heaven has a great destiny, and people have a great destiny. The husband is fragrant and crispy, rich in wine and fat, sweet in taste but sick in appearance; graceful and white-toothed, interceding and donating sperm. Therefore, even if you leave Tai, your body will be harmless. If you don't want to see power, you will do nothing. Things are in the four directions, but we must be in the center. The sage insists on what is important, and all directions come to follow suit. Wait for it in vain, and he will take it for himself. The four seas are hidden, and the yin of the Tao meets the yang. The left and right sides are already standing, and the door should be opened. Don’t change, don’t be easy, keep doing both. If you keep doing it, it is called fulfilling the rules. There are things that are appropriate for each person, and materials that are appropriate for each place. Therefore, there is no action from above or below. Make the rooster watch the night, make the raccoon catch the rat, all use their abilities, and nothing will happen. If you are good at what you do, things will go wrong. He is reserved and good at ability, and he will be bullied by others: he is good at arguing and benefiting, and he will be bullied by others because of his talents. It is easy to use up and down, and the national heritage is not cured.
To use the principle of unity, the name is the first, the name is the righteousness of things, and the name is the migration of things. Therefore, the sage sticks to one thing and is still, so that the name can be determined by itself and the matter can be determined by itself. If you don't see the harvest, it's just plain. So let it go, and let it do its own thing; give it to it, and it will do its own thing; deal with it right, and let it all take care of itself. The above mentioned it by name, but without knowing its name, it restored its shape. The shape and name are the same, and they are born from them. The two are honest, and the bottom line is tribute.
1 Translation
Heaven has natural laws, and humans also have natural laws. The wonderful and crispy taste, the rich wine and fat meat, are sweet and delicious but harmful to the body; the beauties with delicate skin and white teeth are heartwarming but drain one's energy. Therefore, if you get rid of excessive eating, drinking and having fun, your body will not be damaged. Power should not be exposed, but should remain true to itself and govern by doing nothing. Political affairs are in the local area, and the key lies in the central government. The sage monarch holds the key points. People from all over the world will come to serve you. Just treat your subordinates calmly, and they will take care of things. Now that the world is at peace, the monarch can observe the dynamic from the static.
Once the civil and military officials have been appointed, the monarch can open his mouth to receive them. Don't change, don't change, act in accordance with the laws of nature and human beings, and continue to do so. This is called following the principles.
Only when things have their appropriate uses can they have a place for display, and each can find its proper place, so the top and bottom can be governed without doing anything. Let the rooster crow at night and let the cat catch the mouse. If they all show their talents like this, the monarch will be able to rule by doing nothing. If the monarch shows his special talents, political affairs will not be accomplished. The monarch likes to boast and show off his abilities, which is the basis for his subordinates to deceive; the monarch likes to cause trouble, and shows off his eloquence and intelligence, which is the basis for his subordinates to take advantage of them. The functions of the monarch and his ministers are reversed, and the country cannot be governed as a result. ?
Using Tao methods, we must put the determination of title first. If the name is appropriate, things will be certain; if the name is biased, things will go wrong. Therefore, the sage adopts a virtual attitude in accordance with the unified laws, allowing the names to be formed naturally and things to be determined naturally. Since there is no need for carving, the bottom part will be pure. Appoint them accordingly and let them do their own work; give them tasks accordingly and they will complete them themselves; arrange them appropriately so that they can all fulfill their duties automatically. The monarch appoints people based on the opinions of his ministers. If he is not sure whether the opinions of his ministers are appropriate, then he should examine his actions. Words and deeds are comprehensively reviewed and then rewards and punishments are given as appropriate. If rewards and punishments are reliable, your subjects will show their sincerity.
