Tao Te Ching, chapter 67
Small states and widows: so that there are hundreds of weapons and do not use them, so that the people die and move away. There are chariots and boats that have nothing to ride, and there are armoured soldiers who have nothing to show, so that the people can use the rope again. Willing to eat, beautiful clothes, happy customs, and live in peace. Neighbors look at each other, chickens and dogs smell each other, and people don't get along with each other until they are old and dead.
Small states and widows: so that there are hundreds of weapons and do not use them, so that the people die and move away.
What, whatever. Uncle, the original meaning is long. Shibai is a machine that can improve labor efficiency.
Small countries and widows:Even if the people have machinery to improve labor efficiency, they will not use it (it means that everyone is simple and true, and if there is no curiosity, then there is no ingenuity, and there is no ingenuity, and the ingenuity means that the sky has been opened by people, and the heart of ingenuity has been created).
The rebirth of the people is due to the purity of the heart and few desires, the virtue and the wholeness, the simplicity and the truth, the absence of strange desires, the loss of oneself in things, the loss of oneself in things, the endless pursuit of things, will not fanatically pursue the fame and fortune flaunted by humanity, so they will not migrate for profit.
There are chariots and boats that have nothing to ride, and there are armoured soldiers who have nothing to show, so that the people can use the rope again.
There is a boat and a car, and no one takes it, because everyone is pure-hearted, has no desires, is spiritually guarded, and does not chase fame and fortune, so naturally they will not travel far, and they will not need a boat or car if they do not travel far.
Although there is an army, but there is no place where it can be used, the war between the armies is nothing more than a struggle for grabs, the people are pure in heart and few desires, life is true and complete, there is nothing to fight forcibly, because they open the sky, there is no desire to live, there is no vain fame and fortune to compete for.
So that the people return to the simple nature, return to the avenue to return to the truth, absolute wisdom and abandon the sacred, absolute benevolence and righteousness, never cleverly abandon profit, see plain and simple, less selfish and few desires.
Willing to eat, beautiful clothes, happy customs, and live in peace.
The people have pure hearts and few desires, and there are no desires to disturb their hearts, and when they eat, they eat and get the sweetness of food.
The people are pure-hearted and have few desires, do not lose themselves to things, and there is no comparison, and there is no beauty or ugliness in clothes.
The people's spirit is guarded, the road is walked, the family is happy, the virtue is true and the spirit is rich, and they are happy.
The people live and work in peace and contentment, keep the road, the virtue of heaven is possessed, all things become what they do, they are, the people and things do not hurt each other, and get along harmoniously.
Neighbors look at each other, chickens and dogs smell each other, and people don't get along with each other until they are old and dead.
Even if the two countries are so close to each other, the people have no idea of interacting with each other even when they are old, (because the common people are on the road, pure in heart and few desires, spiritually guarded, true in nature, and happy in themselves, they do not need to interact with others for some interests and some strange desires, because they are on the high road, and their desires are not born, and they are simple and true).
