1. It is born from Tao, formed by virtue and animals, shaped by things, and formed by potential. Therefore, all things respect Tao and value virtue.

2. The respect of Tao, the nobility of virtue, and the destiny of the husband are always natural. Therefore, Tao gives birth to it, virtue brings it to animals; grows it and nurtures it; matures it and matures it; nourishes it and overturns it. Born without being, doing without relying on, growing without killing. It is called Xuande.

3. The way of heaven is like a bow and a bow. Those who are high suppress it, and those who are low lift it. Those who have more will damage it, and those who have less will make up for it. The way of heaven is to make up for the excess when there is excess damage. This is not the case in the way of man. The loss is not enough, but there is more than enough to serve. Who can have more than enough to serve the world, only the Taoist.

4. There is a way in the world, but it is just a matter of dung. There is no way in the world, and soldiers and horses are born in the suburbs.
