道德經注
知其雄第二十八

知其雄第二十八

知其雄第二十八

雄者剛强,雖者永弱。知剛强,知其雄,守其雌。爲天下谿流,而丞彬無罪。歸之如谿,能受物也。常襍者,其白之一。知明察之道,而寧自處於混穆,則爲天下所法也,爲天下式。常德不忒,復歸於無極。無知其榮,守其辱,爲天下谷。賊渠尋顯,辱者畢賤。知尊顯之榮,而寧處於卑。能包容天下,如空谷之能容物也,爲天下谷。常德。心愈虛而道愈充,其極乃足,復歸於樸。樸者樸散,則爲器而太不琢。無有造作,則隨人所爲而成。聖人能無棄物,旣成一器,聖盡其能也。樸漓。聖人用之,則爲官長,人則隨村任用使主。若聖人之自爲則不然。聖人未嘗不成端,而樸散不得以一器名之。此制之大者,人不得而裁之也。
