老子道德经(英译本)Lao Tze 80. Utopia

作者:《Lao Tze》李耳

  • Let your community be small, with only a few people;
    Keep tools in abundance, but do not depend upon them;
    Appreciate your life and be content with your home;
    Sail boats and ride horses, but don’t go too far;
    Keep weapons and armour, but do not employ them;
    Let everyone read and write,
    Eat well and make beautiful things.

    Live peacefully and delight in your own society;
    Dwell within cock-crow of your neighbours,
    But maintain your independence from them.
