第四十章     柔強(qiáng)循環(huán)

反者道之動(dòng), 弱者道之用。 天下萬(wàn)物生于有，有生于無(wú)。

Cyclingwithin Polarity

Returning within polarity is themovement of the Tao.

Receptivity is the way it isused.

All things are born of Being.

Being is born of Non-being.

 [譯文]

循環(huán)往復(fù)是道的運(yùn)行規(guī)律。道的功用是由無(wú)形的柔弱顯現(xiàn)為有形的物質(zhì)。
