Lao Tzu: Chapter 80 should make the country small and the people small. The equipment that makes the people ten times more efficient and 100 times more efficient is not used, so that the people cherish their lives and do not leave their hometowns. Even if there were boats and cars, there was no place to ride them, and even if there were armor and weapons, there was no place to display them.

Let people use knotted rope to remember things again. The people made the food they ate luscious, the clothes they wore beautiful, the houses in which they lived comforted, and their customs happy. Neighboring countries can see each other, and the voices of chickens and dogs can be heard by each other, while the common people of neighboring countries do not interact with each other until they are old and dead.

A country with a small territory and a small population (as it should be). Even though there are various utensils, they are not used; Let the common people value their own lives, and they will not leave their homes and migrate far away. Even if there were boats and cars, there would be no place to ride them, and even if there were armor and weapons, there would be no place to display them.

Let the people go back to the time of knotted rope memorization. The country is rich and the people are strong to the heyday. so that the people may eat sweetly, dress beautifully, live comfortably, and live happily.

Countries can see each other, and the cries of chickens and dogs can be heard, but people do not interact with each other from birth to death.

Chapter 80 of the Tao Te Ching: Small countries and widows make them have the tools of Shibo, but they don't need to make the people die heavily and do not travel far, although there are boats, there are no horses, although there are armoured soldiers, there is nothing to show, so that the people can re-knot the rope and use it, they are willing to eat, they are beautiful, they live in peace, they are happy, neighbors look at each other, the voice of chickens and dogs is heard, and the people do not interact with each other until they die of old age.

Translation: The country should be small, and the population should be small. Even if the tools (referring to the machinery of the time) were ten times more efficient and not used, the people valued death (i.e., did not want to die easily) and did not move far.

Although there are boats and cars, there is no need to take them; Although there are armor and weapons, there is no need to display them (i.e., take them out of the arsenal and use them). Simply cancel the bunko and use the knotted rope to remember things again. They think their food is sweet, their clothes are good-looking, they think their dwellings are comfortable, and they think their customs are satisfied.

Neighboring countries look at each other from afar, the voices of chickens and dogs hear each other, and people do not interact with each other until they are old and dead.
