CHAPER 21 CHAPER 22

Te Origin of All Tings Restraint and Completion

Great Virtue takes its form from the Dao

And the Dao is vague and insubstantial

So vague so insubstantial and yet it has form

So vague so insubstantial and yet it has substance

So deep so dark and yet within is the essence of life

Tis essence is real an d within it is ruth

Troughout time the name of the Dao is constant And through it I can discern the origin of all thi ngs

How can I discern the origin of all things?

From this; from the Dao.

孔德之容，唯道是從。道之為物，唯恍唯惚。忽兮恍兮，其中有象；恍兮忽兮，其中有物。窈兮冥兮，其中有精；其精甚真，其中有信。自古及今，其名不去，以閱衆甫。吾何以知衆甫之狀

哉？以此。

Te incomplete becomes complete

Te crooked becomes straight

Te empty is filled

Te worn out renewed

Small ambitions are achieved

Great ones are confounded

Te enlightened man embraces the Dao and becomes an example for the world

He eschews display and therefore shines

He discards self and so becomes a model

He is self-effacing and therefore achieves recognition

He does not boast and so is celebrated

Because he avoids conflict

No-one under Heaven can find themselves in conflict with him

Who can doubt the truth of the a ncient wisdom “ Te incompletebecomes complete”?

And in completion we return to our t rue state.

曲則全，枉則直，窪則盈，敝則新，少則得，多則惑。是以聖人抱一為天下式。不自見，故明；不自是，故彰；不自伐，故有功；不自矜，故長。夫唯不爭，故天下莫能與之爭。古之所謂曲則全者，豈虛言哉？誠全而歸之。

Chinese BoundCollection

There are some books that deserve a classic

presentation. Sun Tzu’s The Art of War , Machiavelli’s

The Prince and the Tao Te Ching are just three titlesin Amber’s exquisite series made using traditional

Chinese book-binding techniques. Ranging from

Chinese astrology to haiku, the series’ latest addition

is a new edition of Confucius’s Analects. Philosophy

or self-help? Spirituality or success? Either way,

Confucius has wise and accessible things to say.
