"Divorce wisdom and abandon intelligence, And the people will benefit a hundred-fold. Divorce humanism and abandon justice, And the people will return to filial piety and parental affection. Divorce shrewdness and abandon selfishness, And there will be no thieves. I believe these three statements show that words are inadequate. The people should be made to adhere to these principles: "Look to the origins and maintain purity; Diminish self and curb desires." Divorce learning and one will lose anxiety."
