 tasteless, will even if you stop the flow of water from one end of a lake to the other, not fail to make the river or the lake decline. If you shut the door of the kingdom to those who do not submit, and cause their village to be scattered over the world, and thus weaken the kingdom, you would gain nothing. Wherefore, those who cling to their feudal social system do not succeed in preserving the kingdom.

While the common folk live in harmony with nature, nature flourishes and replenishes all that lives therein. The busybody stays in his own world; while the sage keeps the place of the lord; The man of the world is content, the man of the world is lowly; While that difference in rank increases, it will not destroy the land. To give order to the world, use taxes.

To the people of old, it is so simple. The common folk know: "Stay away from trouble in the world and no one will trouble you." Yet the hard-hearted want to commit troubles. They send force into other people's homes, into places where others live. They spoil the livelihood of others, and so all things decline. By guarding against this, the king can defend the country.

In the old times, the citizens knew it best. They knew their enemies and their rivals and those who sat on high places. That it was good to be distant from trouble. So it is: There are many who love trouble and fight in order to distract from the more important work. So it is: There are many who want to end the good order and to banish all kinds of disorder. So it is: There are many who try to impose their doctrine and to impose themselves on others. So it is: There are many who try to divide the kingdom and to make it disintegrate. It is the king who can overcome them and control the kingdom.

Those who rely on their morality in the suburbs seem very difficult. They keep silent and do not interfere. The people of the suburbs know that those who dwell in the suburbs are distant and know this. People of the suburbs know that the separation of the suburbs is troublesome. It is the trouble in the suburbs that leads to the separation of the suburbs. Those who promote the separation of the suburbs, who make the neighbors see that they must be separate, will not be correct in their doctrine. The word that justifies the separation of the suburbs means "righteousness is realized through the separation of the suburbs." If one thinks that this is so, he is in error. Those who promote the separation of the suburbs, who create their neighbors into discontent, will find no settlement with the suburbs. The fields will not yield. The royals will not agree with each other. The taxes will not help the countryside. And such a ruler is only manipulating his own purpose. He is not leading the country in this way.

Those in the past, they know how difficult to live in. There is a group of people that do not dispute the truth, and so they want to keep hidden. There are others that want to prevent in their front yards the future trouble. Those that are against their opponents are divided, while those that support the opposing side are humiliated. Those who try to make everyone lose by keeping the peace, will not be in power. If the group is conscious of the fact that it is as if it were caught in a troubled spot, and knows this, they can predict the state of affairs. Those who will try to prevent people from getting in trouble are restrained, while those that help them are joyful. Those who wish to prevent people from getting in trouble will obtain nothing. Those who have power over others do not have that power. If you want to rule a country by using force to rectify the situation, you are not in the right. If you are in the right, it is only because you have no more desire. When the lord of your country is tired of it, you will lose. That is why a ruler who keeps with justice is not in the right. If the lord does not agree, then the people will lose. When your neighbor goes against you, and then goes against the lord, that is clearly the lord's fault. If the lord is tired of the lord, then he will not keep the law. If you would be a good ruler, then you should be a good ruler. You should not try to be a good ruler. So you should try to find a peaceful way to govern your country.
