Good deeds, no traces (1), good words (2), no flawless words (3), good numbers (4), no planning (5), good closure, irrelevant and unbreakable (6), good knots, no rope and no unsolvability (7). It is a saint who is always good to save people, so he does not abandon people, and always good to save things, so there is no abandonment. It is said to be the attack (8). Therefore, those who are good are not good teachers, and those who are not good are the assets of good people (9). He does not value his teacher, he does not love his assets, although he is a great fascination, it is said to be wonderful (10).

[Translation]

Those who are good at walking will not leave ruts, those who are good at talking will not be sick, those who are good at counting do not need bamboo yards, those who are good at closing do not use bolts so that people cannot open them, and those who are good at binding do not use ropes so that people cannot untie them. Therefore, saints often save people, so there are no abandoned people, and they are often good at making the best use of things, so there are no abandoned objects. This is called the wisdom within. Therefore, the good people can be the teachers of the wicked, and the bad people can be used as a reference for the good people. I don't respect my teacher, I don't cherish his role as a reference, although I think I'm smart, I'm actually a big fool. This is the subtle truth.

[Quote]

This chapter is an extension of the idea of "natural inaction". Lao Tzu used "good deeds", "good words", "good numbers", "good closures" and "good knots" as metaphors, indicating that as long as people are good at teaching without words, good at doing nothing, conforming to nature, and do not need to spend too much effort, it is possible to achieve good results and be impeccable. This chapter also gives full play to the truth of not seeing oneself, not being self-righteous, not self-defeating, and not being self-conscious, not from the positive side of "expensive teachers", not from the negative side of "loving their assets", and so that "although they are wise and fascinated". Therefore, the main idea of this chapter is to extend the application of natural inaction to a wider range of life.

[Commentary]

The content of this chapter focuses on requiring people, especially saints, to abide by the principle of "ruling by inaction", which shows that those who have the Tao follow nature and treat others and things, and also expresses the mind of those who have the Tao and do not abandon people and things. No one abandons people, no things abandon things, and all the good people in the world are not good people, and good things are not good things, all of them are useful. The good are the teachers, the evil are the assets, all of them are treated kindly, especially for the bad people, do not despise him because of their unkindness, one side should exhort him, induce him, and on the other hand, give him a role to become a good person. This takes into account the two opposing sides of things, not just one aspect. Sloppy bark, coarse branches and leaves, or only know one of them, but do not know the other, and then be complacent. It is not advisable to think that you know everything, you are all-encompassing, and you are arrogant.
