"In the time of God-farmer, when lying
down to rest, there was genuine repose, and when active, there was genuine
contentment. People knew their mothers, but they did not know who their fathers
were; they dwelt along with the various deer. Eating from their own gardens and
wearing what they themselves had woven, there was no thought of harming one another,
for perfect, natural excellence reigned in its highest form.
"Yellow Emperor, however, unable to
restore such natural living, fought with the monster Ch'ih-yu in the field of
Cho-lu, amd blood flowed for a hundred miles. When Yao and Shun arose, the
various offices were established. T'ang, founder of the Yin dynasty, exiled his
sovereign; King Wu, founder of the Chou dynasty, slew his evil sovereign Chou.
From this point on, the weak were oppressed by the strong, the few overrun by
the many. From T'ang and king Wu on, all the kings were fomenters of disorder.
Now, today, you follow the ways of Kings Wen and Wu and head world-wide
discusions to instruct future generations. Dressed in your finicky clothes and
with contrived speech and pretenious behavior, you confuse the princes of the
world in your desire to elicit riches and honors from them. There isn't a
bigger robber in the world than you ! Why don't people call you Robber
Confucius instead of restricting the title to me ? " Ibid.

I have been taught about preserving and
accepting our world, not about putting it into good order. He who would
preserve it fears that it will prostitute its very existence. He who would
accept it fears that it may shift from its native excellence. It is when our
world does not prostitute its very existence and does not shift from its
excellence that it enjoys good order. See, James R. Wares, op cit., The Sayings
of Chuang Tzu, Preserve and Accept.
