ĐẦU XUÂN NÓI CHUYỆN THIÊN THAI Ghi chú:
(1) Bản dịch Việt từ Hán ngữ của Nguyễn Hiến Lê – Xin kèm bản dịch Anh ngữ của www.chinapage.com/laotze.html để tiện tham khảo:
Let your community be small, with only a few people;
Keep tools in abundance, but do not depend upon them;
Appreciate your life and be content with your home;
Sail boats and ride horses, but don’t go too far;
Keep weapons and armour, but do not employ them;
Let everyone read and write,
Eat well and make beautiful things.
Live peacefully and delight in your own society;
Dwell within cock-crow of your neighbours,
But maintain your independence from them.
(TaoDeChing – Lao Tze)
