The translation of the first chapter of the Tao Te Ching, the original text and explanation of the f

Dude, the Tao Te Ching is not a classical Chinese text, especially the first chapter, which is the general outline of the Tao Te Ching, which cannot be translated in modern Chinese, and you have to rely on your own comprehension to understand it, everyone looks at it and understands things differently, you want a ready-made, basically impossible.

Original text of "Tao Te Ching: Chapter 1":

The Tao is the way, the very way; The name is famous, and the name is not very famous. The beginning of the nameless heaven and earth, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always nothing, and I want to see its wonders; There are often, and I want to see it. These two have the same name and the same name, and they are the same mysteries. Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders.

Tao Te Ching: Chapter 1 explains:

The word that can be spoken is not the true and unchanging word, and the constant word is unspeakable; The "name" that can be said in words is not an eternal and ultimate "name". "Nothing" can be used to describe the state of affairs when the heavens and the earth are in chaos; And "being" is the name of the origin of all things in the universe. Therefore, we should always observe and comprehend the mystery of the Tao from nothingness; We should always observe and experience the clues of "Tao" from "being".

These two, ** the same but with different names, can be called mysterious and far-reaching. They are not ordinary mysteries and profound, but subtle and mysterious, profound and profound, and they are the general door to the mysteries of all things in the universe (from the "famous" mysteries to the invisible mysteries, and the "Tao" is the way to understand all the mysteries and changes).

Thirty spokes have a hub, when there is none, there is a car.

埏埴 as a tool, when it is not, there is a tool for use.

2. Translation:

Thirty spokes converge into a hole in a hub, and there is a hollow place in the hub to have the function of a car.

Translation of the first chapter of the Tao Te Ching:

The Tao is the way, the very way;

In the Tao Te Ching, the Tao has different meanings in different contexts. The meaning of the Tao can be classified as threefold in general. Chang Dao. The Tao gives birth to nothing, nothing begets something, and there begets all things. All things are the universe, nature. The common way, as the first cause, is eternal and unchanging.

Dao Ke Dao, the first Dao word, refers to the common way. The second word refers to the use of nouns, which means to use persistently. It can also be understood as words and descriptions.

Extraordinary way, not ordinary way. The way that can be grasped is not the ordinary way, and the way that can be spoken and described is not the ordinary way. Here are a few characteristics of the common way:

Unspeakable, undescribeable, unattainable. Why does it have such characteristics, let's look at it next.

The name is famous, and the name is not very famous.

In the Tao Te Ching, the name has a threefold meaning. Nameless. Manifests itself only as pure information.

There are no shapes and objects, so they cannot be traced. Namelessness is an eternal pool of information, invisible, dividing all things without losing the slightest. The name of eternity, so it is a common name.

Famous. Informatization is energy, and energy is transformed into mass and shape of matter. There is a quality and an image, and the beginning can be described.

Namelessness has three characteristics: no quality and no image, it cannot be traced, and it cannot be named. A name, if it can be named, if it can have a quality that can be traced, then it is not a common name, it is not an eternal namelessness.
