Interpretation of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching

Chapter 52

【The Dao produces it, the virtue produces it, the form of a thing, and the force makes it.Therefore, everything respects Tao and honors virtue. 】

Yan Kejun said: "It is all things", and the imperial note is "It is a saint".

Wei Jiasun said: "Virtue is the animal", the imperial note does not have the word "virtue".

Luo Zhenyu said: The Dunhuang version does not have the word "Mobu", and the Jingfu version does not have the word "he".

Takeuchi Yoshio said: Atsumoto's "potential" is "hot", I may be mistaken.

Qian's case: Suizhou's original work is "ripe", and the word "ripe" is also wrong. "Livestock", Guangming as "storage", "Guide", Gu Huan as "Shoude".Also, there is no word "Mobu" in the strict version, and there is no word "Yi" in the biography of Feng Yan in the Later Han Dynasty.

Datian Qingxuan said: Dao is rational, and virtue is consistent.It is called the beginning; it is called the endowment of the animal.However, if you carefully search for the books of Lao and Zhuang, there is no such thing as Taoism other than oneness, and Taoism is the only oneness.Therefore, Zhuang Zhou regarded Tao as the strong yang energy of heaven and earth (knowing Beiyou), "strong yang" means endless movement (this Guoxiang, the word "strong yang" is also seen in the fable).What post-Confucians call lively and lively, Gai also called it this. "The shape of an object is formed by its potential", "shape" means a fixed shape, and it is said that a thing is fixed with it.Zhuang Zhou said: "The physiology of life is called form." That's right. "Possibility makes it" means that it is formed because of its natural momentum.

[Tao is honorable, virtue is noble, Fumo's life is always natural. 】

Luo Zhenyu said: "Tao is respected, virtue is precious", and the Dunhuang version is "Tao is respected, virtue is precious". "Destiny", both the imperial annotation edition and the Dunhuang edition are referred to as "jue".Yan Kejun said: "Fu Mo's fate", Yuzhu and Fu Yi are the "Nobles".

The case of modesty: Suizhou, Yan Zun, and Gu Huan are also called "jue".In addition, the four annotations of this section inscribed by Zhang Taishou in Dao Zang and Song Dynasty say: "Ming Huang and Wang Bi's two editions are 'mandate' and are called 'jue'." The annotations of the kings were all mistakenly recorded as Bi's annotations, and the same is true for the palace edition.Ji Yun said: "This sentence in the case, it is suspected that the original school language under the word 'ming' was mistakenly used as Bi's annotation." The record of the case says so.Wang Bi's version, seen in Daozang Zhang engravings, is "jue", which is the same as Yan Zun's and Fu Yi's ancient versions.

[Thus the Dao begets it, breeds it with virtue, nurtures it when it grows up, matures it when it is mature, and overturns it when it is nourished. 】

Yan Kejun said: "It is mature when it is mature", and Wang Bi wrote "It is poisonous when it is a pavilion".

Luo Zhenyu said: Jinglong, Yuzhu, Dunhuang, and Jingfu are all written as "the mature one".Also "virtuous animals", Luo Juan took off these three characters, and Wu Neidun did not have the word "virtue".

Qian's case: Yuzhu, Qingyang, Fenxi, Louzheng, Gu, Peng, Zhao, Gao, and Fan all have no "virtue", and Fan "animal" is "storage". "Chengzhishuzhi", Qingyang, Louzheng, Fenxi, Zhao, Gu, Peng, Gao, Naijuan, Muromachi, Heshang, and Wang Xizhi are the same stone. "Nursing to cover it", Fu, Fan and Wenxuan's commentary on Li's commentary on life discrimination is "covering it to cover it". "It's mature and mature", Fu and Fan made "the poison of the pavilion".Fan said: "'Ting Poison', Wang Bi and Li Qitong's ancient editions. Fu Yi quoted Shiji as saying: 'Ting, condensation also.' Guang Ya said: 'Poison, security.'" Bi Yuan said: "Shuowen Jiezi:' Poison, thick also.' Explanation of the name: 'Ting, stop.' According to it, the sound and meaning of Ting, Cheng, and Du are similar."

[To be born but not to have, to be but not to rely on, to grow but not to be slaughtered is called Xuande. 】

Xi Tong said: The four sentences have been seen in Chapter 10, and they are coming back here.

The case of modesty: Luo Juan's "respect" was mistaken for "sinking", and Yan Ben's "said" was for "do".In Tang Li Yueben, there was no such sentence as "long but not slaughtered".

[Phonetic Rhyme] The reading of Jiang's rhyme in this chapter: Animal, Yu, Shu, Fu rhyme (you part), you, rely on, Zai rhyme (of the part).Takeuchi Yoshio and Chen Zhu: You, Reliance, Zai, Deyun.Deng Tingzhen said: "You, Shi, and Zai are all the characters of the Habu, and the virtues are the words of the Habu." Rhyme (seven 匊 into the sound).Covering "Cheng Zhi Ri Zhi Zhi" as "Ting Zhi Zhi Zhi Zhi", the rhyme of ripe and poison is the same.Liezi Huangdi chapter: "Whoever travels with you, don't tell me; what you say is poisonous; if you don't feel it, don't understand it, it's the same!" The rhyme of telling, poison, and which is the example.And Gao Benhan uses the rhyme of birth, animal, growth and education.Gu Yanwu's Tang Yun main volume [-]: "cooked" is different from the six kinds, and the sound of removing it is different from the opposite.Lao Tzu: "Of the old way, the animals that are born, grow them to nurture them, mature them to ripen them, and raise them to cover them." Also "bring", the remaining six cuts, when the sound is removed, the sound is pomelo.I see you.

There are 72 characters in the Youjinglong stele version, 68 characters in the annotations of the Dunhuang version (66 characters in the real version), 72 characters in the He, Wang and Fu versions, and 71 characters in the model version.Heshang's title is "Cultivating Virtue One", Wang's title is "Chapter 51", and the model title is "Chapter One of Daosheng".
