「道之为物,惟恍惟惚。惚兮恍兮,其中有象;恍兮惚兮,其中有物。窈兮冥兮,其中有精。」 ——《道德经》第二十一章

📖 释义 Annotation
「恍惚冥冥」是老子对道之形态的诗意描绘。道不是一个清晰可见的实体,而是恍恍惚惚、窈窈冥冥的存在。然而就在这恍惚之中,有形象;在冥冥之中,有精质。道虽然不可捉摸,却不是空无一物——它在模糊中蕴含着一切可能性。
"Vague and dim, elusive and dark" is Laozi's poetic description of the Tao's form. The Tao is not a clearly visible entity but exists in a state of vagueness and obscurity. Yet within this vagueness, there are images; within this obscurity, there is substance.
