“So it is that existence and non-existence give birth the one to (the idea of) the other;”

“It as non-existent (and not named).”

“All things under heaven sprang from It as existing (and named); that existence sprang from”

“that (the ideas of) height and lowness arise from the contrast of the one with the other;”

“that the musical notes and tones become harmonious through the relation of one with another; and that being before and behind give the idea of one following another.”

“Therefore, what has a (positive) existence serves for profitable adaptation, and what has not that for (actual) usefulness.”

“The softest thing in the world dashes against and overcomes the hardest; that which has no (substantial) existence enters where there is no crevice.”
