36 道德經:
將欲歙之,必固張之;將欲弱之,必固強之;將欲廢之,必固興之;將欲奪之,必固與之。是謂微明。柔弱勝剛強。魚不可脫於淵,國之利器不可以示人。
Dao De Jing:
(Minimising the light)
When one is about to take an inspiration, he is sure to make a (previous) expiration; when he is going to weaken another, he will first strengthen him; when he is going to overthrow another, he will first have raised him up; when he is going to despoil another, he will first have made gifts to him: - this is called 'Hiding the light (of his procedure).'
The soft overcomes the hard; and the weak the strong.
Fishes should not be taken from the deep; instruments for the profit of a state should not be shown to the people.

微明

Library Resources
1 微明:
將欲歙之,必固張之。先開張之者,欲極其奢淫。將欲弱之,必固強之。先強大之者,欲使遇禍患。將欲廢之,必固興之。先興之者,欲使其驕危。將欲奪之,必固與之。先與之者,欲極其貪心。是謂微明。此四事,其道微,其效明也。柔弱勝剛強。柔弱者久長,剛強者先亡也。魚不可脫於淵,魚脫於淵,謂去剛得柔,不可復制焉。國之利器,不可以示人。利器者,謂權道也。治國權者,不可以示執事之臣也。治身道者,不可以示非其人也。
