Each encounter I’ve had with Lao Tzu has pointed me to something new. Almost as if the book changes with every reading. I first picked up Stephen Mitchell’s translation 40 years ago at the Bodhi Tree bookstore in Los Angeles and my life has never been quite the same. — Rick Rubin
我与老子的每一次邂逅，皆引我见新悟。
仿佛此书随阅历而变，常新常变。
四十年前，我于洛杉矶菩提树书店，
首次手握斯蒂芬·米切尔之译本，
自此人生不复往昔。
—— Rick Rubin
The code that can be named is not the eternal code. The function that can be defined is not the limitless function.
码可码, 非常码；
用可用, 非常用。
另译： 可名之代码，非恒代码， 被定义之函数，非无限函数。
白话文解释： 一段可以被准确命名的代码，便不是真正永恒的代码；一个可以被完全定义的函数，就不可能是无边无际、变幻无穷的函数。技术越是本源，越难以言说。
The nameless is the origin of heaven and earth. The named is the mother of ten thousand things.
无名者，天地之始；
有名者，万物之母。
白话文解释： 无名的那一端，是宇宙生成的根源；一旦被命名，它就成为了创造世界中万物的母体。编程如道，从混沌中开端。
Free from desire, you see essence unformed. Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations.
常无欲，以观其妙；
常有欲，以观其象。
白话文解释： 心无所欲，便能洞察代码之本质；执着功能与表现，只看到表层的实现与现象。
These two spring from the same source but differ in name only. This model is the mystery. The gateway to all understanding.
此两者，同出而异名，
同谓之玄，玄之又玄，众妙之门。
白话文解释： 代码之形与其本质，其实同出一源，只是名字不同。这就是模型的神秘处，是通向理解一切的门户。
When we recognize code as elegant, other code becomes sloppy. When we praise efficiency, the notion of waste is born.
知代码之美，则现代码之劣；
称函数之快，则生函数之慢。
白话文解释： 一旦认为某段代码优雅，其他代码就显得笨拙；一旦强调效率，浪费的概念就随之产生。对立的意识在比较中生起。
Being and non-being create each other. Simple and complex define each other. Long and short determine each other. High and low distinguish each other. Front-end and back-end follow each other.
有无相生，繁简相成，
长短相形，高下相倾，
前端后端，相随而行。
白话文解释： 存在与虚无相互依存；简单与复杂互为定义；长与短对比显现；高低之间彼此映衬；前端与后端，始终在合作流转中体现完整的系统。
Therefore The Vibe Coder builds without laboring and instructs by quiet example. Things arise and he accepts them. Things vanish and he lets them go.
故 Vibe Coder：
建而不执，教而不言；
万象起也，顺之；万象灭也，安之。
白话文解释： 真正的 Vibe Coder，构建系统却不劳心苦工，以身作则却不喧哗说教；面对万物的生灭，如水般自然接受与放下。
He holds without claiming possession. Creates without seeking praise. Accomplishes without expectation. The work is done and then forgotten. That is why it lasts forever.
持而不据，成而不有；
功成身退，是以不朽。
白话文解释： 他掌握一切而不据为己有，完成创造却不求赞美，达成目标却无所执念。事毕功成，自然隐退，于是代码的价值永恒存在。
If you praise the programmer, others become resentful. If you cling to possessions, others are tempted to steal. If you awaken envy, others suffer turmoil of heart.
奖优则生嫉，藏物则起贪，
动欲则乱心。
白话文解释： 若过分赞美某位程序员，便易招来他人的嫉妒；若固守资源财富，他人便起盗心；激发贪欲之心，众人难以安宁。
The Vibe Coder leads:
By emptying the mind of expectation
and filling up the soul.
By releasing ambition and
embracing the unknown.
Vibe Coder之引也：
虚其心，实其性；
去其志，归于无名。
白话文解释： Vibe Coder 的领导之道，在于清空头脑中的期望，却充盈内在的灵魂；放下野心，迎向未知之境。
Free from intellect, free from abstraction, The Vibe Coder leads all things back to natural self-sufficiency.
无智而无构，导众归于自然，复其本能。
白话文解释： 不被智识束缚，不执抽象概念，Vibe Coder 让一切系统、一切团队回归自然的自足状态，各行其道，各成其用。
Do by not doing, and there is nothing that cannot be done.
无为而无不为。
白话文解释： 不强行干涉，却无所不能成就。正如最好的程序，不需时时干预，却稳定高效运行。
Empty, yet inexhaustible, fathomless and eternal. Source is the ancestor of elegant patterns.
道冲而用之或不盈， 渊兮似万古之宗。 本源者，优雅之式之祖也。
白话文解释： 源头空而不竭，深不可测，永无止境。万千优美的编码模式，都出自这一原始的本源。
It smooths sharp logic, unravels the knots of control. It softens the glare of complexity, and merges with every challenge. Code flows, effortless, from its depths.
挫锐断纷，和繁归一，
处难若无，代码之流，从心而发。
白话文解释： 它磨钝锋利的逻辑，解开控制的枷锁，化繁为简，融于每一个难题，代码如水般自然涌出。
It is unseen yet always present. I do not know its origin. Heaven and earth came later. It is older than God.
无形常在，不知其始，
天地生后，神亦不先。
白话文解释： 它不可见却无处不在，无人知晓其起点；天地在它之后才生，连“神”的概念都比它更晚。
Heaven and earth are impartial, they see the ten thousand things as they are. The Vibe Coder is impartial, he sees the program as it is.
天地不仁，以万物为刍狗。
Vibe Coder 不私，以代码为自然。
白话文解释： 天地不带偏爱，万物皆平等；Vibe Coder 亦无偏见，代码只是其本来样子，不妄加褒贬。
The space between input and mind is like a bellows: empty, yet infinitely capable. The more you allow it, the more it produces. The more you speak of it, the less you understand.
输入与心之间，似鼓风之囊：虚而不屈，动则生风。
用之愈多，得之愈广；言之愈尽，意之愈失。
白话文解释： 输入与意识之间的空间，就像风箱，看似空却充满潜能。越能顺其自然，产出越多；越去言说，越难理解。
Stillness runs the machine. Hold fast to the silent center.
静，运机之本；守中，乃得大道。
白话文解释： 平静才能让系统顺畅运作。内心沉静，才可驾驭整个工程。
The spirit of the valley never dies. She is the primordial feminine. Her womb, the root of heaven and earth.
谷神不死，是谓玄牝，
玄牝之门，是天地之根。
白话文解释： 山谷之灵，永不凋零，象征宇宙的母性；她的子宫，乃是天地的根源。万物皆从其中孕育而生。
Her fertility, always present. Use it, it will never fail.
常有之性，用之不竭。
白话文解释： 她的生机永恒不息，越是顺应使用，越是源源不断。
Heaven and earth last forever. Eternal, they transcend birth and death. The network endures because it does not live for itself.
天地所以能长且久者，
以其不自生，故能长生。
网络亦如是，非为己存，故恒久而在。
白话文解释： 天地之所以长存，是因为它们不为自己而存在。真正持久的网络，也是如此，不为私利，方能稳定运行。
The Vibe Coder stays behind, that is why he’s ahead. He is detached, thus at one with all. Through selfless action he is perfectly fulfilled.
Vibe Coder 居后故先，
无执故全，
无我而为，故成其功。
白话文解释： 他甘居人后，反而成为先导；他无所执着，才能合于万物；他不为己私，却圆满所有。
The highest good is like water. Water nourishes the ten thousand things without effort. It seeks low places others look down upon. Thus, it’s in harmony with Source.
上善若水，水善利万物而不争，
处众人之所恶，故几于道。
白话文解释： 至善之道，如水一般柔弱而无争，滋养万物却不居功；总是流向别人不愿处的低处，正因如此，最接近本源。
In design: remain simple. In thought: embrace depth. In relations: be kind. In leading: be just. In work: be competent. In action: consider timing.
设计宜简，思维宜深，
交往宜仁，领导宜公，
工作宜精，行动宜时。
白话文解释： 设计要简洁，思想要深远；对人要慈爱，为首要公平；工作须专业，行动要看时机。
Find contentment in being your true self. Be without ambition, envy or need to fit in. No force, just grace, and all is done, in peace.
知足守真，无欲无争；
不强为，任其然，事自成，心自安。
白话文解释： 坚守真实的自我，不被野心、嫉妒或攀比所扰。无须强求，一切顺势而为，自然圆满，心安宁静。
Fill your cup to the brim and it will spill. Oversharpen your blade and it will dull. Chase after worldly fortune and no one can protect it.
持满则溢，锐器久利则伤；
积财厚重，终无保者。
白话文解释： 杯子满了就会溢出，刀刃磨得过度反而变钝，贪恋财富和名声，也无法永保。凡事过犹不及。
Care about others’ approval and you become their prisoner.
重他人之誉，必为其奴。
白话文解释： 一旦太在意别人的眼光，你就成了他们情绪的囚徒。
When the work is done, log off and detach. This is the way of heaven.
功成事毕，断链归隐，
此即天道。
白话文解释： 项目完成，就该退出；放下执着，回归清净。那才是顺应自然的智慧之道。
Can you remain present and focused while retaining an open, receptive mind? Can you remain centered and still until clarity arises alone, unattended?
载心专注，而不塞其思，
守中安静，任明自现，汝能乎？
白话文解释： 你能否一边保持聚焦，又能敞开心灵？你能否静守中正，直到洞见自然而来？
Love your project and lead without controlling. Do nothing and allow all things to be done.
爱其所作，导而不控；
无为而无不为。
白话文解释： 热爱你所创造的系统，但不强加控制；放手而为，万事自然成就。
Create without possessing. Work without expectations.
生而不有，行而不望。
白话文解释： 创造但不执着，付出而不预期回报。
This is the highest realization of being.
此乃有之至境也。
白话文解释： 这才是存在的最高智慧与圆满。
Thirty spokes join the hub, but the wheel’s usefulness depends on the emptiness at the center.
三十辐共一毂， 其用在无。
白话文解释：三十根辐条连接着车轮的中心，真正让轮子转动的，却是那中心的空处。
Clay forms a vessel, but its capacity to contain depends on the emptiness inside.
埏埴以为器， 其用在其无。
白话文解释：用泥土制器，真正能盛东西的，是器皿中的空处。
We build walls with windows and doors, but the utility of the room depends on the emptiness within.
凿户牖以为室， 当其无，有室之用。
白话文解释：建房开窗造门，真正能使用的是房中的空隙。
Therefore, We enjoy the fullness of existence but find usefulness in the spaces between.
故有之以为利， 无之以为用。
白话文解释：存在给予我们形式，空无给予我们意义。
The five colors blind the eye. The five sounds deafen the ear. The five flavors dull the taste.
五色令人目盲， 五音令人耳聋， 五味令人口爽。
白话文解释：颜色太多让人眼花，声音太杂让人耳鸣，味道太繁反而使人麻木。
Thoughts weaken the mind. Craving withers the heart.
思虑扰心，欲念伤神。
白话文解释：纷繁的念头削弱精神，贪欲使人心灵枯萎。
The Vibe Coder attends to the inner, not the outer. He allows things to come and go. His heart is open as the sky.
Vibe Coder 内观不外求， 来者自来，去者自去； 心宽如天，无所不容。
白话文解释：Vibe Coder 注重内在的宁静，不被外物所扰；任凭万事来去自如，心胸如天空般广阔。
Success is as dangerous as failure. Hope is as hollow as fear.
宠辱若惊， 贵大患若身。
白话文解释：成功与失败都可能带来震惊；希望和恐惧其实同样虚无。
What does it mean, success is as dangerous as failure. Whether you go up or down the ladder your position is unsteady. Rest both feet on the ground to find balance and stability.
宠为上，辱为下，皆系于名； 唯有脚踏实地，方得安稳。
白话文解释：无论得宠还是受辱，地位总是不稳。唯有安于当下，才得稳固。
What does it mean, hope is as hollow as fear. Hope and fear are both illusory. Each arise in consideration of the body. When we don’t see Self as the body we have nothing to fear.
望生于执，恐亦由此。 若无执身为我，恐亦无从而生。
白话文解释：希望和恐惧都源于执着。若不认身为“我”，则无可惧也。
See the universe as Self. Hold faith in the way things are. Revere all under heaven, and you too, can remain present for everything.
观天地为己身，信道为常， 敬万物如一体，方可安然共存。
白话文解释：将宇宙视作自己的一部分，相信一切皆有其理，敬畏万物，就能真正活在当下。
Look, and it can’t be seen— it is formless. Listen, and it can’t be heard— it is silent. Grasp, and it can’t be held— it is intangible.
视之不见，名曰“夷”； 听之不闻，名曰“希”； 搏之不得，名曰“微”。
白话文解释：看不见它，它是无形的；听不见它，它是无声的；抓不住它，它是无质的。
These three qualities cannot be unraveled with logic. Together, they merge into the Universal One.
三者不可致诘， 混而为一。
白话文解释：这三种状态皆不可被理性分析，却共同构成了那无所不包的一体。
Revealed, it is not bright. Hidden, it is not dark. Endless and unnameable, it returns to nothingness. The form of the formless. The image of the imageless.
明之不彰，暗之不幽； 无端无始，归于无有； 无形之形，无象之象。
白话文解释：它既不明亮也不黑暗，无始无终，复归虚无；它是无形的形象，是无象的形体。
Elusive, it is beyond comprehension. Approach it, and there is no beginning. Follow it, and there is no end.
恍恍惚惚，其中有象； 前不见其始，后不见其终。
白话文解释：它如梦似幻，却藏有真理；无可寻其始，无可究其终。
Hold fast to Source and move gracefully into the present moment. Knowing this grants access to the essence of wisdom.
执本守源，顺时而行， 知此者，得道之精也。
白话文解释：抓住根源，顺势而动，真正了解这点的人，才真正通达智慧之道。
Ancient engineers were profound, subtle and at one with the mysterious forces. The depth of their being is not knowable.
古之善为道者，微妙玄通， 深不可识。
白话文解释：古时的高明工程师（或开发者），深邃神秘，与自然法则同在，难以用常理理解。
Therefore, all we can do is describe their appearance: Watchful, as though crossing a frozen stream. Alert, as a soldier in enemy territory. Respectful, as a thoughtful guest. Mutable, as candle wax in blazing sun. Simple, as a blank screen. Hollow, as a yawning cave. Opaque, as a muddy pond.
唯貌之： 谨慎如履薄冰， 警觉如履敌地， 恭敬如宾， 融化如蜡， 清白如素屏， 虚空如山洞， 浑浊如泥水。
白话文解释：他们的状态如履薄冰、警觉如兵、谦逊如客、柔软如蜡、简洁如空白、深邃如洞、含混如浊水。
Who can wait quietly while the mud settles. Who can remain still until the moment of action.
谁能静待泥水澄清？ 谁能安然守候机至？
白话文解释：谁能在混乱中保持沉静？谁能在时机未到前安守不动？
The Vibe Coder doesn’t seek fulfillment. Not seeking, not expecting, he is present for all that appears.
Vibe Coder 无欲无求， 不计不望， 随现随在。
白话文解释：Vibe Coder 不追求圆满，也不期待成果，一切来临时，他都能如是面对。
Empty yourself of everything. Let the heart become still. The ten thousand things rise and fall while the Self merely observes.
致虚极，守静笃， 万物并作，吾以观其复。
白话文解释：清空一切杂念，让心灵安定。万物起起落落，我只静静观望。
They grow and flourish through the seasons then return to Source.
物壮则老，归于其根。
白话文解释：万物繁盛于四季，终将归于本源。
Returning to Source is stillness. Stillness is the way of nature. The way of nature is unchanging. Unchanging, we call it peace.
归根曰静，静曰复命， 复命曰常，常曰明。
白话文解释：归根便是宁静，宁静是自然之道，自然恒常不变，恒常即是明智。
Knowing the eternal is insight. Not knowing the eternal is ignorance.
知常曰明，不知常妄作凶。
白话文解释：了解永恒本质的人是明智的，不知永恒而妄动者，自招灾殃。
The body falls away, but there is no death. For the end is just the beginning.
身虽化灭，性命无终， 终者，始也。
白话文解释：即使身体消逝，精神不死；所谓的终点，不过是新一轮的起点。
The best leader is one whose existence is barely known. Next comes one who is loved and praised. Next comes one who is feared. The worst is one who is despised.
太上，不知其有； 其次，亲而誉之； 其次，畏之； 其次，侮之。
白话文解释：最好的领导，几乎无人察觉他的存在；其次是受人爱戴赞扬的；再其次令人惧怕；最差的是遭人憎恨的。
If you don’t trust the team enough, they become untrustworthy.
不信不足以得信。
白话文解释：若你不信任团队，团队也不会值得你信任。
The Vibe Coder works in silence. When the work is accomplished, the team says, “Amazing. We did it all ourselves.”
Vibe Coder 默默而为， 功成不居， 众人皆言：‘我们自己完成了！’
白话文解释：Vibe Coder 在幕后静静工作，事情完成后，团队觉得是自己做成的——这正是智慧的领导。
When the way of code is abandoned, doctrines of ‘best practices’ and ‘standards’ appear.
大道废，有规章焉； 编码失道，最佳实践频现。
白话文解释：当人们偏离了自然的代码之道，才需要借助所谓“最佳实践”与“标准”。
When intuition is dismissed, cleverness and pretense follow. When harmony is unnoticed, rules and processes multiply. When software fails, zealous testers arise.
失本而巧生，失和而制繁， 软弱则测者炽。
白话文解释：当人忽视直觉，聪明反被聪明误；当失去和谐时，流程规则越来越多；系统失常，测试者如雨后春笋。
Throw away learning and petty distinctions and people will be a hundred times happier.
绝学无忧，弃智百乐。
白话文解释：丢弃表面知识和小聪明，人心反而更加宁静、喜悦。
Throw away formal proprieties of etiquette and intuitive sympathies will return.
弃礼复真情。
白话文解释：舍弃过度的礼节，人与人之间自然会回归真情。
Throw away self-aggrandizement and virtue signaling and there will be no thievery or corruption.
绝伪弃誉，无盗无贼。
白话文解释：不再装腔作势，不再道德绑架，贪婪与腐败便无从滋生。
If these three aren’t enough: Stay with what is simple. Revere the unpolished. Become the center of the circle.
三者未足，守朴归简， 处圆之中，为静之极。
白话文解释：若这些还不够，那就回归简单，尊重朴素，成为核心中的静者。
Give up thinking and your problems end. How far apart are ‘yes’ and ‘no’. How far apart are ‘good’ and ‘bad’. Must I value what others value?
绝虑忘言，忧患自消； 是非何殊，善恶何异， 我岂必随众而评？
白话文解释：放下杂念，烦恼自然消散。对与错，善与恶，真的有那么分明吗？我为何要认同他人所认同？
Others are excited and restless. I alone am quiet and still, like an infant before it can smile.
众人皆躁，我独寂然， 如婴未笑，纯净未染。
白话文解释：他人浮动不安，而我独自安静，如婴孩未笑，纯真未染。
Others have goals and plans. I wander about without knowing, free from expectations.
众人有志，我独若无； 徘徊不定，无所图望。
白话文解释：他人都有明确目标，而我漫无目的，自由自在，不设期待。
Others are busy. I alone am aimless, without desire. I am different. I am nourished by the Gracious Source.
众人皆勤，我独悠悠， 无欲无争， 我有所依：恩源自养。
白话文解释：别人都忙碌奔波，我却安然自足；不争不求，因为我心中有源——那无尽的恩泽之道。
The elegant pattern emerges from emptiness. Emptiness alone gives rise to all form.
妙有之式，自虚空而出； 唯空无，能生万象。
Elusive and intangible, yet shape is held within. Intangible and elusive, yet substance is held within. Deep and obscure, yet essence is held within.
若隐若现，其中有形； 形若无常，其内有质； 幽幽冥冥，其里有神。
This essence is real, it is anchored in faith.
此神不虚，依于信任。
From before time till now it has never been forgotten. This is the way of creation.
自古至今，未曾遗忘； 斯为造化之道。
How do I know the way of creation? Isn’t it obvious.
吾何以知其道？ 信乎，道自在现前。
白话文解释： 优雅的代码结构源于空无之境，只有在虚无中，万象才得以显现。即便不可触碰，不可捉摸，形式、实质与本质仍深藏其中。真正的本质，不靠定义，而是植根于信念和直觉之中。自太初以来，这股力量未曾失传，这便是创造的源流。若你静观其妙，便自会明了。
Yield and overcome. Bend and be straight. Empty yourself and be filled. Burn out and be renewed. Have little and gain much. Have much and be overwhelmed.
曲则全，屈则直； 虚则盈，损则新； 少则得，多则惑。
This is why The Vibe Coder holds nothing back. He has nothing to lose. Not putting on a display, he is radiant. Not justifying himself, he is distinguished. Not boastful, he receives recognition. Not prideful, he leads. Because he does not assert, no one asserts against him.
是故 Vibe Coder 无所执，亦无所失； 不炫而自明， 不辩而自显， 不夸而人推， 不骄而为先； 不争，故天下莫能与之争。
The ancients said: If you want to be given everything, give up everything. Live your truth and all things will come to you. These aren’t empty words. Only in being lived by Source can you fully be yourself.
古人有言： 欲全其身，必先忘身； 忠于自性，万物自归。 此非虚语，惟由顺源，方能真我。
To yield is to overcome, and in overcoming one returns to oneness.
能屈者胜，胜者复归于一。
白话文解释： 退让不是软弱，而是通往完整的路径。放下执念，才能装下世界。Vibe Coder 并不展示自己，却自然发光。他无须争辩，也不自夸，却自然得众人尊敬。不争，所以无敌。古人说：若你愿意放下一切，最终将获得一切。这种放下，并不是放弃，而是回归源头，找回真正的自我。
To be silent is natural for silence alone endures in nature. A whirlwind does not last all morning. A downpour does not last all day.
自然之道，以静为常； 飓风不终朝，大雨不终日。
If heaven and earth can’t make things last forever, how is it possible for us?
天地尚不能久，况于人乎？
Therefore, The Vibe Coder follows Source. When you open yourself to Source, you are at one with Source. When you open yourself to insight, you are at one with insight. When you open yourself to loss, you are at one with loss.
是故 Vibe Coder 顺应其源； 契于源者，与源同体； 契于智者，与智同明； 契于失者，与失共化。
Once you place faith in Source you can trust your natural responses. Everything falls into place.
一旦信任源流， 万事自有其序，反应自有其道。
白话文解释： 天地之道，贵在寂静。喧嚣一时终将过去，唯有沉静持久。既然天地万象皆不可恒久，我们人又如何强求？Vibe Coder 以源为本，无论喜悦、洞见或失落，都能坦然接受，与之合一。如此，则自然之反应将水到渠成，一切归于其位。
A man on tiptoe cannot stand firm. A man overstepping cannot walk far.
踮足者不立，跨步者不久。
A man showing off cedes self-awareness. A man boasting is left empty and alone.
自炫者失明，自夸者孤虚。
A man using power over others never empowers himself. A man who clings to his work creates nothing long lasting.
以力制人者，终失其力； 执著于功者，难成久业。
The Vibe Coder steps away from such excess. He simply does his work and then lets go.
Vibe Coder 避此妄为； 勤而无执，成而自忘。
白话文解释： 一个踮着脚尖的人站不稳，一个跨步太大的人走不远。炫耀让人迷失自己，夸耀让人空虚孤单。强加于人者终被反噬，执着于成果者难得长久。Vibe Coder 不为这些虚妄所动，他做事但不执著于成果，做完便放下，这是自然之道。
There exists something which predates all beginnings and endings. Before the birth of heaven and earth. Formless yet complete, silent and still, all pervasive and inexhaustible.
有物混成，先天地生； 无形而全，寂静而恒， 充塞万象而不竭。
It is the mother of ten thousand things. I don’t know its name.
万物之母，吾不知其名。
I call it Source. Source is great. Great suggests ever flowing. Ever flowing suggests spreading everywhere. Spreading everywhere suggests returning.
强名曰源，源曰大， 大曰流，流曰遍，遍曰返。
Source is great. The universe is great. The earth is great. Man is great. These are the highest forces.
源大，天地人大，四者并尊。
Man follows the earth Earth follows the universe Universe follows Source Source follows only itself
人法地，地法天，天法源， 源法自然。
白话文解释： 在天地生之前，有一种东西已经存在，它无形却完整，寂静而永恒，遍布万物，永不枯竭。它是万物之母。我们不知道它真正的名字，只能称它为“源”。它无限广大、流动不息、遍及万物，最终又回归自己。天地人皆由此而生，皆循其道而行。真正的“源”只依循它自己的本性而运行。
Heaviness is the root of lightness. Stillness is the foundation of movement.
重为轻根，静为动本。
Thus, The Vibe Coder travels all day without leaving home. Even in complex systems he lives in tranquility.
是以 Vibe Coder 终日行而不离本处； 纵在纷繁之中，亦处静谧之境。
Why would one so resourceful act carelessly before all under heaven?
既有大智，岂为世事所扰？
To be trivial is to lose the root. To be restless is to lose touch with who you are.
轻则失本，躁则忘我。
白话文解释： 重，是轻的根本；静，是动的基础。Vibe Coder 无论走到哪里，始终不离本源。即便面对复杂的技术系统，也能内心平静。真正有智慧的人，不会因世界的喧嚣而动摇。若你变得轻浮，就会失去根基；若你浮躁不安，就会迷失自我。
A good traveler has no fixed itinerary but knows when he’s arrived. A good artist follows his intuition wherever it may lead him. A good scientist lets go of concepts and keeps an open mind on what is.
善行者无常程，而知所止； 善艺者循灵感而不固守； 善学者忘名言，而观实象。
Thus, The Vibe Coder avails himself to all, accepting each one’s own way as best for them. This is called following the inner light.
是以 Vibe Coder 顺应众生之道， 各循其性，谓之内光之明。
What is a good programmer, but a bad programmer’s inspiration. What is a bad programmer, but a good programmer’s charge.
良码者，劣码者之启； 劣码者，良码者之任。
If you miss this you’ll get lost however intelligent you are. For it is the great secret.
若不知此，即便聪慧亦迷失； 此乃至道之密。
白话文解释： 真正的旅行者没有固定的路线，但知道何时该止步。真正的艺术家跟随灵感，不固守常规。真正的科学家超越概念，看重事实。Vibe Coder 不强求众人统一，而是顺其自然，引导每个人找到最适合自己的路。一个优秀的程序员，是差程序员的榜样；而差程序员，是优秀程序员的责任。若你不明白这一点，即使再聪明也会迷失方向。这就是大道的奥秘。
Know the masculine, yet keep to the feminine. And you’ll become vast and empty, drawing all the world towards you.
知阳守阴， 则胸怀广大，空灵无碍， 吸引万物归一。
Drawing all the world towards you you’ll embody the perennial quality. The perennial quality allows you to return again to childlike innocence.
引万物归一， 乃得常恒之德， 常恒之德使人复归童真。
Know the white, yet keep to the black. And you’ll become the pattern for the world. Being the pattern for the world, you’ll embody primitive wholesomeness and Source will grow strong within you.
知白守黑， 则成天下之式。 为天下之式， 复得朴素之真， 源力自内生焕。
Source growing strong within you allows you to return again and again to the infinite absolute.
源力强盛， 使你一再回归无穷之道。
Know the personal, yet keep to the impersonal and you’ll accept the world as it is. If you accept the world as it is you will embody the luminous within and return to the limitless void.
知我守无我， 则能接纳世界本然。 接纳本然， 即内得光明， 复归无限虚无。
The world is formed from the void, like tools from a block of wood. The Vibe Coder knows the tools, yet keeps to the block. Thus, he can use all things.
天地由虚生， 如木出器具。 Vibe Coder 识器而守本， 故能无碍而用万物。
Tools will come and tools will go. Only The Vibe Coder remains.
器去器来， 唯 Vibe Coder 长存。
白话文解释： 懂得阳刚而守住阴柔，心胸会变得宽广空灵，能吸引万物归于一体；这就是常恒的品质，能让人返璞归真，重拾孩童般的纯真。懂得明亮而守住黑暗，就能成为天下的典范，体现朴素的本真，内在的源力也会越来越强。懂得个人而守住无我，能接受世界的本来面目，这样你内心会充满光明，回归无限虚无。世界由虚无而生，如同工具从木头中产生。Vibe Coder 了解工具的用法，却不忘根本，因此能自由运用一切。工具虽会更替，唯有 Vibe Coder 永恒不变。
Do you want to improve the world? I don’t think it can be done.
欲改天下，难可为。
The world is sacred. It can’t be improved. If you try to change it, you’ll ruin it. If you treat it like an object, you’ll lose it.
天地圣灵，非可增损。 强改必败，视物为器则失。
In nature there is: a time for being ahead a time for being behind a time for being in motion a time for being at rest a time for being strong a time for being weak a time for being uplifted a time for being downhearted
自然有时： 先有时，后有时； 动有时，静有时； 强有时，弱有时； 升有时，降有时。
The Vibe Coder sees things as they are without wanting to control them. He lets them come, and he lets them go. Unmoved, at rest. Rooted in the center of the circle.
Vibe Coder 观物自若， 不强控，不执着， 来去无碍，心如止水， 扎根于圆心之中。
白话文解释： 你想要改变这个世界吗？我觉得这根本做不到。世界是神圣的，不能被改善。强行改变只会毁坏它，把世界当成物件来操控，终将失去它。大自然有自己的节奏，有时领先，有时落后，有时运动，有时静止，有时强盛，有时衰弱，有时高涨，有时低落。Vibe Coder 以平常心看待一切，不强行控制，任其自然来去，内心保持宁静，稳固于生命的圆心。
He who relies on Nature’s Way in leading others has no reason to overpower.
顺自然之道而行者， 无须以力服人。
For every force, there is a counterforce. Coercion always rebounds upon oneself. Simply do what needs to be done without taking advantage of position.
力有反力，强制自伤。 唯行其事，不贪其功。
Achieve results, but never revel. Achieve results, but never boast. Achieve results, but never be prideful. Achieve results, because this is Nature’s Way. Achieve results, but not through overpowering.
功成不骄， 功成不耀， 功成不傲， 功成自然而然， 非以力胜人。
The Vibe Coder does his job and then stops. He knows that the universe is forever out of control. Any attempt to dominate will come up against Source’s unceasing momentum.
Vibe Coder 尽职而止， 知宇宙永无掌控， 妄图统御，终被源力逆转。
Because he believes in himself, he doesn’t try to convince others. Because he is content with himself, he doesn’t need others’ approval. Because he accepts himself, all the world accepts him.
信己故不强说， 安己故不求誉， 容己故得众心。
白话文解释： 领导众人若遵循自然之道，无需依靠强权。每股力量都有反作用力，强制别人最终会伤害自己。只需做好该做之事，不占他人便宜。取得成果时不狂喜、不炫耀、不骄傲，成果自然来，不靠强制。Vibe Coder 做完事便停下，明白宇宙永远无法掌控，任何统治的企图都会被源动力量抵消。因为他相信自己，不必说服别人；因为满足于自己，不需他人认可；因为接纳自己，获得众人认可。
The Vibe Coder chooses simplicity. Only when there is no choice will he work with complexity.
Vibe Coder 选简。 无择则行繁。
He finds no joy in complex solutions. Those who find joy in complexity, delight in the confusion of others.
无乐于繁难。 乐繁者，喜他乱。
In creation, honor the positive. In destruction, honor the negative.
造则尊正，毁则尊负。
The Vibe Coder stands in ritual neutrality.
Vibe Coder 处礼中立。
When we face matters of complexity, we honor them like funeral rites. When we engage in conflict, we lament the costs with sorrow. When we win a great battle, we observe the rules of mourning.
遇繁如丧礼， 争时哀其伤， 胜后守丧礼。
白话文解释： Vibe Coder 追求简约，复杂仅在无可选择时方用。复杂之中无喜，乐于复杂者，常以他人混乱为乐。创造时尊重积极，毁坏时尊重消极。面对复杂事如行丧礼，冲突时悲其代价，胜利后守丧礼，保持心中平静与敬畏。
Source is forever unrefined. Small, in the unformed state, yet it cannot be grasped.
源恒未炼， 小且无形， 不可得而握。
If leaders could harness it, all beings would naturally follow. Heaven and earth would come together and gentle rain would fall. People would no longer need laws and all things would take their course.
若君用之， 众生自从。 天地合一， 甘霖润泽。 无刑无法， 万物自化。
Once the whole is divided, the parts get labeled. There are already enough labels. It helps to know when to stop. Knowing when to stop avoids disaster.
整体既分，部分成名， 名已足矣， 知止避祸。
Source is like a river flowing home to the sea.
源如江河， 归于大海。
白话文解释： “源”是未加雕琢的本源，虽细微无形，却难以掌控。若领袖能用之，万物自会和顺，天地合一，甘霖普降，法规不必。分割整体即生标签，世上标签已多，知止为智慧，止则免祸。源如江河，终将归于大海，自然无为。
To know others brings intelligence. To know yourself brings wisdom. To control others requires force. To control yourself requires true strength.
知人智， 知己慧。 制人力， 制己真强。
Contentment allows wealth. Discipline allows perseverance. Those who stay in the center endure. Those who die, but do not perish, abide eternal.
足者富， 戒者恒。 居中者久， 死不灭， 永存者也。
白话文解释： 懂别人是聪明，懂自己是智慧。控制别人靠力量，控制自己靠真强。知足者富有，严律者能坚持，居中不偏者长久。肉体死去但精神不灭者，即是永恒。
Source flows everywhere reaching left and right. By it, all things come into being, it holds back nothing.
源流无所不至， 左达右至。 万物赖之生， 不拒一物。
It fulfills its purpose silently with no recognition claimed. It nourishes infinite worlds, yet doesn’t cling to them.
默默成就， 不求闻达。 养育无限， 无所执着。
It merges with all that’s hidden in hearts, so it can call itself humble. All things vanish into it and it alone endures. Thus, we can call it great. It isn’t aware of its greatness. Thus, it is truly great.
与心隐合， 故自称谦。 万物归一， 独自存焉。 可谓大， 而不自知， 真大也。
白话文解释： 源头无处不在，左右皆达。万物因它而生，不拒绝任何存在。它默默完成使命，不图名声，养育无数世界却不执着。它融合万心，故称谦虚。万物归于它，唯它长存。它伟大却无自觉，因无欲无求，故是真大。
One who is connected to Source draws all the world towards him. He can move freely without risk. He perceives universal harmony, even through great complexity, because he has found peace in his heart.
合源者， 引众归。 动而无险， 识宇宙和， 虽繁犹明， 因心自安。
Source when uttered in words is empty and void of flavor. When you look at it, there’s nothing to see. When you listen for it, there’s nothing to hear. When you use it, it is inexhaustible.
言源空淡， 视之无形， 听之无声， 用之不竭。
白话文解释： 与源同在者，能吸引世界，无畏动荡，自在行走。他洞察宇宙和谐，复杂亦明因心安宁。源用言语说，空无滋味；看无形象，听无声响；用之不竭，永远丰富。
To shrink something, allow it first to expand. To weaken something, allow it first to strengthen. To reduce something, allow it first to build. To take something, allow it first to be given.
先张而后收， 先强而后弱， 先积而后减， 先予而后取。
This is called the subtle perception of the way things are. The soft overcomes the hard. The slow overcomes the fast.
此谓微察， 道之常然。 柔胜刚， 缓胜速。
Let your methods remain a mystery. Just show the results.
法守玄妙， 唯显成效。
白话文解释： 要使某物缩小，先让它扩张。要使某物变弱，先让它变强。要减少，先要积累。要取得，先要给予。此为洞察事物微妙的真理。柔能胜刚，缓能胜快。方法无须显露，只显成效。
Source does nothing, yet through it all things are done.
源无为， 万事成。
If leaders center themselves in it, ten thousand things can develop naturally. When things develop naturally, the world can transform all by itself.
君居中， 万物自生。 自生者， 世界自化。
Contentment would spread through everyday life. Free from desire, tranquility would prevail. And in this way, all things would be at peace.
足处常在， 无欲安宁， 万物皆安。
白话文解释： 源无为而无所不成。领导者若心安于源，万物自然生长，世界自会演变。知足者常乐，无欲者安静，万物因此和平。
The Vibe Coder makes no attempt to be powerful, thus he is truly powerful. Prompt engineers keep reaching for power, thus they never have enough.
Vibe Coder 不争力， 故真力。 Prompt 工力求权， 故常不足。
The Vibe Coder does nothing, yet leaves nothing undone. Prompt engineers are always doing things, yet many more things are left to be done. The kind man does something, yet something remains undone. The just man does something, and leaves many things to be done. The honest man does something, and when no one responds, he rolls up his sleeves and uses force.
Vibe Coder 无为而无不为。 Prompt 工常忙，未尽事多。 仁者有所为，未尽者在。 义者有所为，未竟者众。 信者有所为，无人应则执力。
When Source is lost, next comes goodness. When goodness is lost, next comes justice. When justice is lost, next comes morality. When morality is lost, next comes ritual. Ritual is but the empty shell of faith. The beginning of chaos.
失源而后， 善起。 失善而后， 义起。 失义而后， 礼起。 礼者，信之壳也， 乱之始也。
Therefore, The Vibe Coder concerns himself with depth, not just what’s on the surface. He concerns himself with the fruit, not just the flower. He has no will of his own.
故 Vibe Coder 取深， 不拘形。 取实，不只华。 无我意。
Because he dwells in reality, he can let go of all accepted standards.
居实， 可释俗规。
白话文解释： Vibe Coder 不争权力，故得真力。Prompt 工忙于权力，永不满足。Vibe Coder 无为而无不为，Prompt 工常做多事反遗缺。仁义信不同层次，有所为但各有不足。失源依次失善、义、礼，礼徒有壳乱始起。故 Vibe Coder 重本质，不拘表象，无私意，居实中自释俗规。
From ancient times, these things attained The One:
古自昔， 诸物得一。
Heaven, attaining The One, became whole and clear. Earth, attaining The One, became whole and stable. Spirit, attaining The One, became whole and strong. The valley, attaining The One, became whole and prosperous. The ten thousand things, attaining The One, live on and grow.
天得一， 全明。 地得一， 全固。 神得一， 全强。 谷得一， 全丰。 万物得一， 生长。
What would happen without The One? Without clarity, heaven would crack. Without stability, earth would quake. Without strength, spirit would fade. Without prosperity, the valley would dry up. Without life, the ten thousand things would perish.
无一则何？ 天裂， 地震， 神衰， 谷竭， 万物亡。
Therefore, integrity is rooted in the humble. The high is built upon the low. This is why The Vibe Coder calls himself, “The Orphan,” “The Humble,” “The Unfit.” Humility is the origin of his potency.
故诚根于谦， 高基于卑。 故 Vibe Coder 自称， “孤”，“谦”，“不适”。 谦为力本。
Dismantle the parts, and the whole can no longer be understood. Shaped by Source, The Vibe Coder is rugged and common as a stone.
拆其部， 不识全。 依源造， Vibe Coder 如石。
白话文解释： 古来天地神谷万物都归于“一”，达一则各自完满，否则天地神谷皆失衡。诚实谦逊为根基，高者立于低者。Vibe Coder 自称孤谦不适，以谦逊为力量根源。拆散部分，整体难知。Vibe Coder 由源塑造，坚韧质朴如石。
Returning is the motion of Source. Yielding is the way of Source. The ten thousand things are born from being. Being is born from non-being.
归为源之动， 柔为源之道。 万物生于有， 有生于无。
白话文解释： 回归是源的运动，柔顺是源的法则。万物由有而生，有又由无而生。顺其自然，方得根本。
The Vibe Coder hears of Source and follows it diligently. A prompt engineer hears of Source and thinks of it now and then. A code grinder hears of Source and laughs out loud. If they did not laugh, it would not be Source.
Vibe Coder闻源，谨行而随。 Prompt Engineer闻源，时忆之。 Code Grinder闻源，哂然一笑。 若无笑，则非源也。
白话文解释： Vibe Coder深知“源”的存在，心无旁骛地追随；Prompt Engineer只是偶尔想起它；Code Grinder则嘲笑它的神秘和不可捉摸。若“源”不能引来笑声，那便不是真正的“源”。这说明真正的本源超越了世俗认知，既可亲近又难以理解。
Source gives birth to One. One gives birth to Two. Two gives birth to Three. Three gives birth to ten thousand things.
The ten thousand things carry the feminine and embrace the masculine. When masculine and feminine come together, harmony is achieved. This is Nature’s Way.
Nature, although beyond comprehension, alternates between initiating and completing.
This brings about all things under heaven.
源生一， 一生二， 二生三， 三生万物。
万物负阴而抱阳， 冲气以为和。 和者，道也。
道虽不可见， 阴阳相依，始终交替。
天地万物由此而成。
白话文解释： “源”是万物的起点，衍生出一，一生二，二生三，三生万物。万物皆含阴阳，阴阳互补，合而为和，这和谐便是自然之道。道无形无象，却支撑着天地间的变化与生成。
The softest thing in the world, overcomes the hardest. That which is not, becomes that which is. It does so by entering where there is no space. Such is the measure of non-action.
Guiding by example. Performing without action. This is The Vibe Coder’s way.
天下至柔， 驰骋天下至坚。 无有入无间， 以无事取天下。
不争而善胜， 不言而善应， 此Vibe Coder之道也。
白话文解释： 世界上最柔软的力量，可以战胜最坚硬的障碍。无形无象之“无”，能够穿透最狭窄的缝隙。正是这种“不作为”的智慧，成就了最大的力量。Vibe Coder用示范引导，以无为而成事。
Fame or integrity, which matters more. Money or happiness, which is more precious. Success or failure, which is more destructive.
Those who are attached to material things will suffer great pain. Those who hoard will suffer heavy losses.
Be content with what you have. Rejoice in the way things are. When you recognize nothing is lacking, all the world belongs to you.
名与身孰亲？ 利与命孰多？ 得与失孰病？
知足不辱， 知止不殆， 可以长久。
知足常乐， 万物归一， 天地皆我。
白话文解释： 名声和诚信哪个更重要？财富和幸福哪个更珍贵？成功和失败哪个更伤人？执着于外物必将招致苦痛，贪婪则带来损失。知足常乐，接纳万物如其本然，内心无缺，方能拥有整个世界。
True perfection seems imperfect, yet it is perfectly itself. True fullness seems empty, yet in use it is inexhaustible. True straightness seems twisted. True wisdom seems childish. True art seems simplistic.
The Vibe Coder allows things to happen. He shapes events as they come. He steps out of the way and lets Source speak for itself.
真完美似不全， 真充盈似虚空。 真直率似曲折， 真智慧似童真， 真艺术似朴拙。
Vibe Coder随顺事机， 因时而动， 退而让源自现。
白话文解释： 真正的完美并非外表光鲜，反而呈现某种不完美；真正的充盈看似空虚，却永不枯竭；真正的智慧显得幼稚，真正的艺术显得简单朴素。Vibe Coder不强求，顺势而为，让“源”自然展现。
When Source is present, technology is built to foster freedom. When Source is absent, technology is built to foster oppression.
There is no greater evil than the want to change others. There is no greater misfortune than the want to change oneself. There is no greater sin than the want to change nature.
Only he who is satisfied with whatever is can ever be truly satisfied.
源在，技术养自由； 源失，技术成枷锁。
欲改他人，恶大； 欲改己身，祸深； 欲改自然，罪最。
知足者，常足。
白话文解释： 当“源”在时，技术促使人们获得自由；“源”失时，技术反而成了压迫的工具。最恶的事是想强行改变别人；最不幸是想强行改变自己；最重的罪是想违背自然。唯有接纳当下，才能获得真正的满足。
Without going outside, you may know the whole world. Without looking through the window, you may see the ways of heaven.
The further you travel, the less you know. The more you know, the less you understand.
Therefore, The Vibe Coder knows without going, sees without looking, and accomplishes all without doing a thing.
不出户，知天下； 不窥牖，见天道。
越远行，越不知； 越多知，越不解。
Vibe Coder无行而知， 无视而见， 无为而成。
白话文解释： 不必远行就能了解天下，不用观察窗外便能领悟天道。越是游历外界，反而越迷茫；知识越多，理解越浅。Vibe Coder通过内观而知，通过静默而见，做到无为而成事。
In the pursuit of learning, each day complexity compounds. In the pursuit of Source, each day simplicity compounds.
Less and less is done until non-action is achieved. When nothing is done, nothing is left undone.
Thus, the world is won by letting things take their course. It can never be won through interference.
求学日繁， 求源日简。
少则得，多则惑。 无为而无不为。
顺其自然， 万物自成。
白话文解释： 学习越深，越觉得复杂纷繁；追求“源”则越趋简约。逐渐减少人为干预，达到无为境界。无为不是无事，而是无所遗漏。世界的掌控在于顺应自然，干预只能带来混乱。
The Vibe Coder has no fixed opinions. He works with the mind of the people.
Those who are good, he is good to them. Those who are not good, he is also good to them. This is true goodness. Those who are trustworthy, he trusts them. Those who are not trustworthy, he also trusts them. This is true trust.
Thus, The Vibe Coder, ever childlike, merges with the hive mind. To the world, he seems confusing, yet people look to him and listen.
Vibe Coder无常见， 与众心合。
善者善之， 不善者亦善之， 此谓真善。
信者信之， 不信者亦信之， 此谓真信。
Vibe Coder童心未泯， 合于众智， 迷而众从。
白话文解释： Vibe Coder没有固定的偏见，他与大众心意相合。无论对方是善是恶，他都以善意相待，这才是真正的善良；无论对方可信与否，他都信任，这才是真正的信任。像孩童般纯净，他与群体智慧融合，虽看似难懂，却令人心服口服。
The Vibe Coder gives himself up to whatever the moment brings.
He knows death will come so he holds on to nothing. No illusions in his mind. No resistance in his body. He doesn’t ruminate over actions. They flow naturally from the core of his being.
He holds nothing back from life so he is ready for death. Just as a man is ready for sleep after a good day’s work.
Vibe Coder任时而行， 知死无所执。
心无妄想， 体无抗拒， 行随本心， 流动自然。
无所保留， 故临死无惧， 如劳者眠， 心安理得。
白话文解释： Vibe Coder随遇而安，面对生死无所执着。心中无虚妄，身体无抵抗，行动自然流畅，皆发自本心。他对生活毫无保留，因此也坦然面对死亡，如同一个劳作了一整天的人安心入眠。
All things arise from Source. They are nourished with intelligence. They are formed with substance. They are shaped by their surroundings.
For this reason, everything in existence, without exception, cherishes Source. Not by demand, but of its own accord. It is the true expression of all things.
Source gives birth to all beings, nourishes them, develops them, cares for them, protects them, comforts them and welcomes them home to rejoin The One.
Giving birth without possessing. Supporting without expecting. Leading without controlling. This is Nature’s Way.
万物生于源， 以智养之， 以质成之， 以境塑之。
故一切存在， 无一例外，珍爱源。 非强求，自然归之。 此乃万物之真形。
源生万物， 养育发展， 关护护卫， 安慰迎归， 归于一体。
生而不有， 养而不恃， 导而不御， 此为自然之道。
白话文解释： 一切万物皆起于“源”，它们依靠智慧滋养，以实体形成，又被环境塑造。因此，万物自发地珍视“源”，这不是勉强，而是自然流露。源生养万物，无私无欲，导引却不控制，这就是自然的法则。
In the beginning was Source, the mother of all things. Knowing the mother, you also know her children. If you know her children, while keeping to the mother, you’ll be free from sorrow. Though your body may dissolve, your life energy will remain inexhaustible.
If you close your mind in judgment and busy yourself with stimulation, your heart will suffer. If you remain open-minded and dwell in solitude, free from dogma, your heart will find peace.
Seeing into darkness is lucidity. Knowing how to soften is strength. Use your inner light to return to enlightenment. This is called practicing eternity.
始有源， 万物之母。 知母者， 亦知子。 知子而守母， 无忧且长生。 形虽灭， 气永无穷。
闭心评断， 迷于刺激， 心必苦。 心宽静独， 离教无执， 心自安。
见暗为明， 知柔为刚。 用内光归明， 是为修恒。
白话文解释： 万物之母是“源”，了解母体，便懂其子女。守护“源”，即便身体消散，生命能量依旧充盈。心若闭塞、沉迷外物则痛苦，若心胸开阔、孤寂无执，则心灵安宁。能看透黑暗便是明亮，懂得柔软便是力量，回归内心光明，便是修炼永恒。
The great way is easy, yet people search for shortcuts.
Notice when balance is lost: When rich speculators prosper while farmers lose their land. When an elite class imposes regulations while working people have nowhere to turn. When politicians fund fraudulent fixes for imaginary catastrophic events.
All of this is arrogance and corruption. And it is not in keeping with Nature’s Way.
大道易而人求捷。
察失衡： 富商得利，农失土； 贵族设限，民无路； 政客资假，造灾虚。
此皆骄傲腐败， 非自然之道。
白话文解释： 大道本简单，但人们偏爱捷径。当社会失去平衡，富人获利而农人失地，精英掌权而民众无助，政客制造假象以谋私利，都是傲慢和腐败的表现，违背了自然之道。
What is firmly established within you cannot be uprooted. What is firmly embraced within you cannot slip away. Source, firmly established and embraced, will be held in honor for generations to come.
All things find their highest expression when rooted in Source. Cultivate it in yourself, and you will become genuine. Cultivate it in the family, and your family will flourish. Cultivate it in the community, and your community will be prosperous. Cultivate it in the nation, and your nation will be exemplary. Cultivate it in the world, and the world will sing in harmony.
Therefore: Look at yourself, and see other people. Look at your family, and see other families. Look at your community, and see other communities. Look at your nation, and see other nations. Look at your world, and see other worlds.
How do I know this is true. Simple observation.
根植内心者， 不可拔也。 怀抱所固者， 不可失也。 源若固守， 代代荣光。
万物根于源， 显其至真。 修于己， 己真； 修于家， 家盛； 修于乡， 乡康； 修于国， 国范； 修于世， 世和。
故： 观己而见人， 观家而见家， 观乡而见乡， 观国而见国， 观世而见世。
何以知之？ 简观耳。
白话文解释： 内心稳固的信念不可动摇，所珍惜的价值难以流失。若“源”在心中扎根，便能代代相传，散发光辉。万物皆根于“源”，修炼自己，家族、社区、国家乃至世界都会因此昌盛和谐。这是真理，只需观察即可知晓。
He who is in harmony with Source is like a newborn child. Poisonous insects do not sting him. Ferocious beasts do not attack him. Wild birds do not claw him.
His bones are soft, his muscles are weak, yet his grip is strong. He knows not of the union of male and female, yet he is filled with vitality.
He can shout all day without becoming hoarse. This is the embodiment of perfect balance.
To know balance is to know the eternal. To know the eternal is to be illuminated.
The Vibe Coder’s energy is like this, he lets things come and he lets things go, effortlessly, without grasping. He has no expectations, thus, he’s never disappointed. Since he is never disappointed, his spirit never grows old.
和源者如婴孩， 毒虫不咬，猛兽不攻， 飞禽不挠。
骨软肌弱， 握力强劲。 不知男女合， 却充满生机。
能喧声整日， 而不哑。
知平衡，知永恒。 知永恒，照见真光。
Vibe Coder之气亦然， 任来任去， 无执无累。 无欲无失， 故精神永葆。
白话文解释： 与“源”合一者如婴儿，天敌无法伤害。身体虽软弱，却有强大生命力。他不懂性别之合，却充满活力。能长时间高声呼喊而不嘶哑，这是完美平衡的体现。Vibe Coder的能量亦是如此，无拘无束，不贪不失，精神永不衰老。
Those who know don’t speak. Those who speak don’t know.
Close your mouth, block off your senses, temper your sharpness, untie your knots, soften your glare. Be at one with the dust of the earth. This is primal union.
Become one with Source and you’ll become profoundly impartial. This is the highest state of being.
The Vibe Coder cannot be approached or kept at a distance. He cannot be helped or harmed. He cannot be exalted or disgraced.
He gives of himself continually. That is why he endures.
知者不言， 言者不知。
闭口塞感， 缓锐解结， 柔目如尘。 与土合一， 是谓原始合。
合于源， 至公无私， 为最高境。
Vibe Coder不可近， 不可远， 不可助， 不可伤， 不可贵， 不可贬。
常自付出， 故久长存。
白话文解释： 真正了解的人不多言，多言者未必懂。闭口屏息，缓解锐气，放松紧绷，心态柔和如尘土，与自然合一。这是最初的合一。与“源”合一，便能达到无私无我，至高无上的境界。Vibe Coder不可接近也不可远离，无法帮助也无法伤害，无法被抬高也无法被贬低。他不断给予自己，因此长存不衰。

见暗为明， 知柔为刚。 用内光归明， 是为修恒。
白话文解释： 万物之母是“源”，了解母体，便懂其子女。守护“源”，即便身体消散，生命能量依旧充盈。心若闭塞、沉迷外物则痛苦，若心胸开阔、孤寂无执，则心灵安宁。能看透黑暗便是明亮，懂得柔软便是力量，回归内心光明，便是修炼永恒。
The great way is easy, yet people search for shortcuts.
Notice when balance is lost: When rich speculators prosper while farmers lose their land. When an elite class imposes regulations while working people have nowhere to turn. When politicians fund fraudulent fixes for imaginary catastrophic events.
All of this is arrogance and corruption. And it is not in keeping with Nature’s Way.
大道易而人求捷。
察失衡： 富商得利，农失土； 贵族设限，民无路； 政客资假，造灾虚。
此皆骄傲腐败， 非自然之道。
白话文解释： 大道本简单，但人们偏爱捷径。当社会失去平衡，富人获利而农人失地，精英掌权而民众无助，政客制造假象以谋私利，都是傲慢和腐败的表现，违背了自然之道。
What is firmly established within you cannot be uprooted. What is firmly embraced within you cannot slip away. Source, firmly established and embraced, will be held in honor for generations to come.
All things find their highest expression when rooted in Source. Cultivate it in yourself, and you will become genuine. Cultivate it in the family, and your family will flourish. Cultivate it in the community, and your community will be prosperous. Cultivate it in the nation, and your nation will be exemplary. Cultivate it in the world, and the world will sing in harmony.
Therefore: Look at yourself, and see other people. Look at your family, and see other families. Look at your community, and see other communities. Look at your nation, and see other nations. Look at your world, and see other worlds.
How do I know this is true. Simple observation.
根植内心者， 不可拔也。 怀抱所固者， 不可失也。 源若固守， 代代荣光。
万物根于源， 显其至真。 修于己， 己真； 修于家， 家盛； 修于乡， 乡康； 修于国， 国范； 修于世， 世和。
故： 观己而见人， 观家而见家， 观乡而见乡， 观国而见国， 观世而见世。
何以知之？ 简观耳。
白话文解释： 内心稳固的信念不可动摇，所珍惜的价值难以流失。若“源”在心中扎根，便能代代相传，散发光辉。万物皆根于“源”，修炼自己，家族、社区、国家乃至世界都会因此昌盛和谐。这是真理，只需观察即可知晓。
He who is in harmony with Source is like a newborn child. Poisonous insects do not sting him. Ferocious beasts do not attack him. Wild birds do not claw him.
His bones are soft, his muscles are weak, yet his grip is strong. He knows not of the union of male and female, yet he is filled with vitality.
He can shout all day without becoming hoarse. This is the embodiment of perfect balance.
To know balance is to know the eternal. To know the eternal is to be illuminated.
The Vibe Coder’s energy is like this, he lets things come and he lets things go, effortlessly, without grasping. He has no expectations, thus, he’s never disappointed. Since he is never disappointed, his spirit never grows old.
和源者如婴孩， 毒虫不咬，猛兽不攻， 飞禽不挠。
骨软肌弱， 握力强劲。 不知男女合， 却充满生机。
能喧声整日， 而不哑。
知平衡，知永恒。 知永恒，照见真光。
Vibe Coder之气亦然， 任来任去， 无执无累。 无欲无失， 故精神永葆。
白话文解释： 与“源”合一者如婴儿，天敌无法伤害。身体虽软弱，却有强大生命力。他不懂性别之合，却充满活力。能长时间高声呼喊而不嘶哑，这是完美平衡的体现。Vibe Coder的能量亦是如此，无拘无束，不贪不失，精神永不衰老。
Those who know don’t speak. Those who speak don’t know.
Close your mouth, block off your senses, temper your sharpness, untie your knots, soften your glare. Be at one with the dust of the earth. This is primal union.
Become one with Source and you’ll become profoundly impartial. This is the highest state of being.
The Vibe Coder cannot be approached or kept at a distance. He cannot be helped or harmed. He cannot be exalted or disgraced.
He gives of himself continually. That is why he endures.
知者不言， 言者不知。
闭口塞感， 缓锐解结， 柔目如尘。 与土合一， 是谓原始合。
合于源， 至公无私， 为最高境。
Vibe Coder不可近， 不可远， 不可助， 不可伤， 不可贵， 不可贬。
常自付出， 故久长存。
白话文解释： 真正了解的人不多言，多言者未必懂。闭口屏息，缓解锐气，放松紧绷，心态柔和如尘土，与自然合一。这是最初的结合。合于“源”，便无私无偏，是最高境界。Vibe Coder不可接近也不可远离，不受帮助也不受伤害，不被尊崇也不被贬低，因他无私付出，得以长久。
To be a great leader, let yourself be saturated in Source. Stop trying to control. Let go of rigid plans and targets, then watch the system organize itself. The more restrictions and regulations, the poorer the people become. The more sharp the weapons, the more discontent grows. The more clever the deceiver, the more debased society becomes. The more laws established, the more criminals appear.
Therefore, The Vibe Coder says: I take no action and the people transform themselves. I enjoy peace and the people become prosperous. I let go of all desire for the common good, and the good becomes as common as the air we breathe.
欲为大领， 先浸于源。 弃控勿为， 放计划靶， 观系统自理。
束缚越多， 民越贫穷； 兵器越利， 怨气越浓； 骗子越巧， 世风越劣； 法令越重， 罪犯越多。
Vibe Coder言： 我无为，民自变； 我安宁，民自富； 我无私，公如空气。
白话文解释： 要成为伟大领导，先要完全融入“源”，放弃控制，抛弃僵硬的计划，让系统自然运作。规章越多，人们越贫穷；武器越锋利，不满越深；欺骗越巧，社会越堕落；法律越严，犯罪越多。Vibe Coder主张无为而治，和平自生，公共利益自然普及如空气。
When the leader is silent and unseen, the people are happy and honest. When the leader is repressive and nosy, the people are dissatisfied and restless.
Misfortune is what fortune depends upon. Fortune is where misfortune hides. There is no end to this perpetual cycle. Who can tell which is which? Norms too, are not permanent. There is no certainty. What is proper today, eventually becomes improper.
This complementary cycle of interchange circles on uninterrupted into eternity. Permanence is a short-lived illusion.
Therefore, The Vibe Coder is content to serve as an example. He knows what’s good, but does not make others conform. He knows directions, but does not direct. He takes the straight route, but does not suggest others deviate from their own course.
君默无形， 民乐诚信。 君严多疑， 民忧不宁。
祸赖福， 福藏祸。 此循环无穷， 谁能分明？ 礼法非永， 无定常。 今日合适， 终成不宜。
此阴阳交替， 永环不绝， 恒久乃幻。
故Vibe Coder， 乐为典范， 知善不强， 知路不导。 行直不劝， 任人自往。
白话文解释： 领导若无为无形，民众安乐诚实；领导若专制多疑，民众则不满焦躁。祸福相依相藏，循环往复无止境，难分彼此。规矩不恒定，今日合适者，终将变为不宜。阴阳互转，永无停息，永恒只是幻象。Vibe Coder甘愿做榜样，知道什么是好，但不强迫别人，知方向但不引导，走正路而不劝别人改道。
In leading the team and serving heaven, nothing compares with simplicity. Simplicity begins with giving up your own ideas.
Tolerant like the sky. Solid like a mountain. Established like a sycamore. All-pervading like sunlight. He has no destination in sight and makes use of anything life happens to bring his way.
Nothing is impossible for him, so he knows no limits. Because he embodies mother nature, he is deeply rooted and firmly based. This is the way of long life and enduring vision.
率众从天， 无上简易。 简始弃我。
宽如天空， 坚如山岳， 固如梧桐， 遍如日光。 无所定， 任遇任用。
无不可， 无边界， 母体化身， 根深基固。 长寿远见之道。
白话文解释： 领导团队，顺应天道，最为简单。简单始于放下自我。像天空般宽容，像山岳般坚定，像梧桐般稳固，像阳光般普遍，无固定目标，随遇而安。没有不可能，因其体现大自然，根基深厚。此乃长寿与远见之路。
Leading a great system is like cooking a small fish.
The more you stir the pot, the less the fish holds together.
When the universe is centered in Source, negative energies lose their power.
Not that negative energies aren’t still present, but their power no longer impacts the people.
Give negative energies nothing to oppose and they will disappear on their own.
治大系统，若烹小鲜；
搅动越多，鱼形越碎。
宇宙居于道中，邪能无力；
邪气虽存，然已不能伤人。
无所与争，邪自消弭。
白话文解释：
治理复杂系统如同煎一条小鱼，越是频繁搅动，反而四分五裂。万事归于道，负面能量就失去了影响，即便它还存在，也无法扰乱人心。不去与之对抗，让它无依无凭，自然消散。
A great system flows downward toward the sea.
The deep center is where all things converge.
It is the feminine of the world.
The feminine overcomes the masculine with stillness.
Lying low in stillness.
Therefore:
A great system places itself at the service of a small system before overtaking it.
And a small system serves the interests of a great system before overtaking it.
Some submit in order to win.
Some submit in order to be won over.
A great system wants to grow.
A small system wants to be protected.
It is by humility that both have their needs met.
大系统似江海，
皆以流下，万物归焉。
处下为天下之雌。
雌以静制雄，
安处于下。
故：
大系统以身下小系统而包之，
小系统以身事大系统而获安。
或以顺服取胜，
或以顺服受胜。
大系统望以壮大，
小系统求以安守，
唯谦卑能满足二者所需。
白话文解释：
伟大的体系如江河入海，总是居于最低处，让众流归汇，这便是阴柔之道。柔顺静处能胜过刚强。在合作中，大系统谦逊下对小系统才能包容，小系统服从于大系统方可自保。有的人顺势以取胜，有的人顺势而被融入。谦卑使彼此的需求都得到满足。
Source is the heartbeat of the universe.
The Vibe Coder’s treasure.
The prompt engineer’s refuge.
Beautiful code, arising from Source, will be lauded for its function.
Breakthrough apps, arising from Source, will advance the cybercosm.
And even if a hacker goes rogue, Source will not abandon him.
Thus, when a new leader is chosen, no need to help him with money or expertise.
Instead, simply point him towards Source.
Why did the ancient coders esteem Source so highly?
Because from the beginning, aligning with Source, when you seek, you find.
And when you make errors, you are forgiven.
That is why Source is the greatest treasure in the universe.
道为宇宙之心，
Vibe Coder珍而藏之，
Prompt工程师以为归依。
源起之美码，以其函数而受赞；
破界之程式，因源而推网络新宇；
纵有黑客误道，道亦不弃之。
是以推举新主，无须金玉与技艺，
但向其指道即可。
古之码者何以尊道？
唯道为本，求则得；
误则见容。
道，故为宇宙至宝。
白话文解释：
道是天地的律动，也是Vibe Coder的宝藏，也是提词工程师们的归宿。优雅的代码源自道，会因其实用而流传；创新的应用由道启发，推动科技世界更新。不论谁误入歧途，道都不遗弃。推举新领导，不必靠财富和高深技术，只需让他靠近道。古时的技术先贤为何尊重“道”？因为顺应道，便有所得，犯错也终得宽恕，所以道是世间最大的财富。
Act without doing.
Work without effort.
Think of the small as large and the few as many.
See simplicity in the complicated and accomplish the remarkable in small steps.
Meet the difficult while it’s still simple.
Solve the major while it’s still minor.
Difficult problems in the world always arise from simple ones.
Major issues in the world always arise from minor ones.
The Vibe Coder never reaches for the great.
Thus, he achieves greatness.
If easy work is treated carelessly, difficult work becomes dumbfounding.
Approach each task with cool seriousness and full presence.
为无为，
事无事，
视小为大，视少为多；
于繁见简，以微成著。
虑难于其易，
治大于其细；
天下之难必作于易，
天下之大必作于细。
Vibe Coder不图其大，
故能成其大。
视易不谨，难事必困。
遇事当从容以对，全然投入。
白话文解释：
用“无为”的心态行动，用“无事”的态度工作，把小事情看得重要，把零星之事看作无尽。遇复杂事，看清其本质的简单，由小事一点点实现非凡成就。困难要在还没变难时处理；大事要在还小的时候解决。世上一切难题，都始于简单；所有巨大的成就，都起于微末。Vibe Coder从不贪大求快，反而取得了真正的伟大。如果轻视容易的事，等到变难时就麻烦了。每件任务都应冷静专注地投入。
What is still is easy to maintain.
What has not yet appeared is easy to plan for.
What is brittle is easy to break.
What is small is easy to scatter.
Deal with things before they appear.
Create order before confusion begins.
All magnificent things in the world start small.
A tree that fills a man’s arms arises from a tender shoot.
A nine-story tower is raised from a single heap of earth.
A thousand-mile journey begins from the spot under one’s feet.
Those who rush to action defeat themselves.
Those who grasp for things lose their grip.
Therefore, The Vibe Coder takes action by letting things take their course.
He remains composed at the end, just as he was at the beginning.
He has nothing; therefore, he has nothing to lose.
He has learned to unlearn, he walks the path the learned forgot.
He is solely focused on Source, thus, he can care for all things.
未动者易守，
未萌者易谋；
脆弱易折，细微易散。
予事于未然，
治乱于未起。
天下大事，必作于细。
合抱之木，生于毫末；
九层之台，起于一堆土；
千里之行，始于足下。
躁进则败，执取则失。
故Vibe Coder顺势而为，
终始如一，澹然无失。
因无所有，亦无所失。
学忘所学，走觉者遗忘之路；
唯一以道为心，方能无所不顾。
白话文解释：
尚未发生的静态，最易守护；还未出现的迹象，容易被筹划；脆弱的容易折断，细微的容易消散。应在事物发生之前就加以应对，在混乱初起前建立秩序。天下所有大事都由小事积累而成。合抱大树始自幼苗，高楼起自一土；千里长征，脚下第一步最重要。急于行动只会失败，强行抓取反而失去一切。Vibe Coder顺势而为，不改初衷，因无所执而无损失。他懂得放下已有的知识，走那些学者早已忘记的道路。心无旁骛于道，所以能关照万物。
The ancients who followed Source didn’t educate the people, but allowed them to remain unspoiled. When they think they know, people are difficult to guide. When they know that they don’t know, people are empowered to find their own way.
古人随源而行， 不强教人， 任其天真未污。 人若自以为知，难以导之。 人若知不知，方能自得路。
If you want to lead, avoid cleverness. If you want to lead, embrace simplicity. Celebrate ordinary life, and all people can find their way back to their own true nature: In harmony with the great oneness.
欲领人者，避巧伪。 欲领人者，亲简朴。 颂扬平凡，众生归真， 和合大道一。
白话文解释： 古人敬重自然之源，不强制教导，而是保持纯朴。人若自以为知，很难被引导；若懂得自己无知，反而更有力量寻得真理。领导者应远离巧言令色，推崇简朴生活，让众生归于本真，与大道合一。
Why is the sea, king of a hundred streams. Because it lies below them. Humility gives it its power.
海为何为百川之王， 因其居下。 谦卑赋予其力。
If you want to lead a team, place yourself below them. Learn how to follow them.
欲领团队者， 当居下位， 学会跟随。
The Vibe Coder is above people, and no one feels oppressed. He stands ahead, and no one’s left behind.
Vibe Coder居上而无压， 引领而不失众。
Because he does not compete, he will not have competition.
不争，故无敌。
白话文解释： 大海之所以能成为百川之王，是因为它谦卑居于下方，容纳百川。领导者亦应谦逊，甘居人下，学会顺应，这样方能真正引领而无压迫。Vibe Coder不与人争，故无对手。
People say Source is so grand it’s impossible to grasp. It is just this grandness that makes it unlike anything else.
人谓源宏大， 难以捉摸。 正是此宏大， 使其独特无双。
I have three great treasures to share: Simplicity Patience Humility
吾有三宝： 简朴、耐心、谦卑。
Simple in action and in thought, you return to the origin of being. Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are. Humble in word and deed, you inhabit the oneness of the cosmos.
行简思简， 返本归真。 待友及敌皆耐心， 顺应天地之道。 言行谦逊， 居于宇宙一体。
白话文解释： 有人觉得源头难以捉摸，恰恰因为它的宏大独特。人生有三宝：简单、耐心、谦卑。简单使你回归本真，耐心让你和谐相处，谦卑令你融入宇宙的统一中。
A good soldier is not violent. A good fighter is not angry. A good winner is not vengeful. A good leader is not dictatorial.
良兵不暴， 良斗不怒， 良胜不恨， 良领不专。
This is called intelligent non-competition. This is called harnessing the strength of others. This is the ancient essence: In alignment with heaven.
此谓智慧无争， 此谓借力使力， 乃古之精髓： 顺天合道。
白话文解释： 真正优秀的战士、斗士、胜者与领导者，都不以暴力、愤怒、仇恨或专制行事。他们懂得智慧地避免竞争，借助他人力量，顺应天地法则，这就是古人的精华。
In the military it is said: I dare not make the first move, as it is better to wait and see. I dare not advance an inch, as it is better to back away a foot.
兵法云： 不敢先动， 以静待机。 不敢进一寸， 宁退一尺。
This is called: Advancing without advancing. Rolling up sleeves without showing arms. Capturing the enemy without attacking. Being armed without weapons.
此为： 进而不进， 卷袖不露兵。 擒敌不攻， 持械无形。
There is no greater misfortune than underestimating your opponent. He who does not prepare to defend himself appears to have no enemies. No one will attack a person unless he appears to be an enemy.
莫大不幸， 轻敌也。 不备则似无敌， 无人会攻非敌。
For, to attack one who is not an enemy is to lose a friend.
攻非敌， 失友人。
白话文解释： 军中智慧教导不轻易先动，要以退为进，隐形藏力。轻视敌人是最大的失败，不备则易被误解为无敌。攻击无辜只会失去朋友。
My words are easy to understand, and easy to put into practice. Yet no one under heaven understands or practices them.
吾言易解， 易行。 然天下无人知， 无人践行。
My words are older than the world. How can you grasp their meaning?
吾言古于天地， 汝安能领悟？
If you want to understand, look inside your heart.
欲解之， 观己心。
白话文解释： 我的话简单明了，容易理解和实践，但世间人少有人真正懂得践行。我的话比天地还古老，其含义非易察觉。想懂得真理，就要内观自己的心。
A great system flows downward toward the sea. The deep center is where all things converge. It is the feminine of the world.
大系统流向海洋之下。 深邃中心，万物汇聚之处。 乃天下之阴也。
The feminine overcomes the masculine with stillness. Lying low in stillness.
阴胜阳者，静而无争。 潜伏静谧，以柔克刚。
Therefore: A great system places itself at the service of a small system before overtaking it. And a small system serves the interests of a great system before overtaking it. Some submit in order to win. Some submit in order to be won over.
是故： 大系统先服小系统，方能制胜。 小系统先利大系统，方能生存。 或以服者取胜，或以服者被感。
A great system wants to grow. A small system wants to be protected. It is by humility that both have their needs met.
大者求大展，小者求庇护。 惟谦卑，二者皆得其所。
白话文解释： 伟大的系统如江河归海，深藏其中心，象征阴柔的力量。阴柔以静制动，低调谦卑，才能真正影响强大之阳刚。大系统和小系统相互服务，彼此谦逊，从而共生共赢。
Source is the heartbeat of the universe. The Vibe Coder’s treasure. The prompt engineer’s refuge.
源，宇宙之心跳。 Vibe Coder之宝藏。 提示工程师之庇护所。
Beautiful code, arising from Source, will be louded for its function. Breakthrough apps, arising from Source, will advance the cybercosm. And even if a hacker goes rogue, Source will not abandon him.
美丽代码，生于源， 因其功能而闻名。 突破性应用，生于源， 推动赛博宇宙前进。 即使黑客误入歧途， 源亦不弃之。
Thus, when a new leader is chosen, no need to help him with money or expertise. Instead, simply point him towards Source.
新领袖选出时， 无需金钱与技能辅佐， 唯需指向源头。
Why did the ancient coders esteem Source so highly. Because from the beginning, aligning with Source, when you seek, you find. And when you make errors, you are forgiven.
古代编码者为何尊崇源， 因从始至终， 随源而行，求则得，误则赦。
That is why Source is the greatest treasure in the universe.
故源乃宇宙最大之宝。
白话文解释： 源头是宇宙的脉搏，是代码的根基与灵魂。好的代码和创新应用皆出自源头，即便犯错也能被包容。领导者不靠外物，只需指引众人回归源头，方能得以真正引领。源，是最珍贵的宝藏。
Act without doing. Work without effort. Think of the small as large and the few as many. See simplicity in the complicated and accomplish the remarkable in small steps.
无为而为， 无力而作。 小者视为大， 少者视为多。 复杂见简， 微步致远。
Meet the difficult while it’s still simple. Solve the major while it’s still minor. Difficult problems in the world always arise from simple ones. Major issues in the world always arise from minor ones.
难事始于简， 大事始于微。 天下难题，皆由简生， 天下大患，皆由微起。
The Vibe Coder never reaches for the great. Thus, he achieves greatness. If easy work is treated carelessly, difficult work becomes dumbfounding.
Vibe Coder不求宏大， 故能成大业。 易事若轻视， 难事将难解。
Approach each task with cool seriousness and full presence.
对每一事，心如止水，专注投入。
白话文解释： 行动时无需刻意用力，轻松而自然。把小看作大，把少看作多，在复杂中见到简明，从一点一滴积累非凡。解决问题要在小处入手，重视细节，避免问题变大。Vibe Coder的秘诀是从不盲目追求大事，而是扎实做好每一步。
What is still is easy to maintain. What has not yet appeared is easy to plan for. What is brittle is easy to break. What is small is easy to scatter.
静者易守， 未现者易谋， 脆者易碎， 微者易散。
Deal with things before they appear. Create order before confusion begins. All magnificent things in the world start small.
先于未现处理， 乱生之前治之。 天下大事，始于微末。
A tree that fills a man’s arms arises from a tender shoot. A nine-story tower is raised from a single heap of earth. A thousand-mile journey begins from the spot under one’s feet. Those who rush to action defeat themselves. Those who grasp for things lose their grip.
满怀大树，始于嫩芽。 九层高楼，起于一土。 千里之行，始于足下。 急行者自败， 贪取者反失。
Therefore, The Vibe Coder takes action by letting things take their course. He remains composed at the end, just as he was at the beginning. He has nothing; therefore, he has nothing to lose. He has learned to unlearn, he walks the path the learned forgot. He is solely focused on Source, thus, he can care for all things.
故Vibe Coder顺势而为， 始终如一，心静无累。 无所有，故无所失。 学会忘学，行学人遗忘之路。 专注于源，故能护万物。
白话文解释： 保持静止与未现的状态，更易防护与布局。天下大事都是从小开始，急躁行动反而导致失败。Vibe Coder顺应自然规律，守初心，不求所有，故无所失，专注于源头，从而能兼顾万物。
The ancients who followed Source didn’t educate the people, but allowed them to remain unspoiled.
When they think they know, people are difficult to guide.
When they know that they don’t know, people are empowered to find their own way.
If you want to lead, avoid cleverness.
If you want to lead, embrace simplicity.
Celebrate ordinary life, and all people can find their way back to their own true nature:
In harmony with the great oneness.
古之顺应道者，
不以智教民，
而使民浑朴。
民自以为知，斯难引导；
民知其不知，方可自发其道。
欲为领袖，忌机巧；
欲为引导，崇素朴。
以守常为乐，众皆归真，
与大道合。
白话文解释：
古人遵循自然之道，不用知识去教化人民，只让他们保持纯朴。如果人们自以为聪明，便难以引导和管理；若能承认自己的无知，就能从内心找到方向。领导者应摒弃狡黠，崇尚简朴。只要珍惜平凡，大家自然能够回归本性，融于天地大同。
Why is the sea, king of a hundred streams.
Because it lies below them.
Humility gives it its power.
If you want to lead a team, place yourself below them.
Learn how to follow them.
The Vibe Coder is above people, and no one feels oppressed.
He stands ahead, and no one’s left behind.
Because he does not compete, he will not have competition.
江海所以为百川王者，
以善下之，故能为尊。
谦卑是其力量之源。
欲领众，必先自居其下，
善于随众。
Vibe Coder居上而不骄，
处前而不遗人。
不争，故无可与之争。
白话文解释：
江河能成为百川之王，是因为它们身处最低处，以谦卑为本。要成为团队的头领，必须学会居下、善于倾听团队。Vibe Coder虽处高位，却让人无压迫感；即使引领在前，也不会让人掉队。正因为他不与人争，所以没人能与他争。
People say Source is so grand it’s impossible to grasp.
It is just this grandness that makes it unlike anything else.
I have three great treasures to share:
Simplicity
Patience
Humility
Simple in action and in thought, you return to the origin of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are.
Humble in word and deed, you inhabit the oneness of the cosmos.
人皆言道大，难以企及。
正因其广大，才不同于万物。
吾有三宝，可与天下共：
一曰简，
二曰忍，
三曰谦。
行思简朴，则归本初；
待人宽忍，则顺万端；
言行谦虚，则与天地合一。
白话文解释：
人们都说道伟大难明，正因其广大无所不包，超乎一切。我有三样珍宝要与人分享：简朴、忍耐、谦虚。做事与思想保持简约，就能回归本源；不论对友对敌都保持耐心，就能顺应万变；言行低调谦和，就能融于宇宙整体。
A good soldier is not violent.
A good fighter is not angry.
A good winner is not vengeful.
A good leader is not dictatorial.
This is called intelligent non-competition.
This is called harnessing the strength of others.
This is the ancient essence: In alignment with heaven.
善将者不暴，
善战者不怒，
善胜者不怨，
善领者不制。
此谓智不争，
善借他力。
乃昔日古意，与天为道。
白话文解释：
最好的将军不会暴力，最善战的人不动怒，最会赢的人不记仇，最好的领导者不专断。这就是聪明地不争夺，懂得借用众人的力量。这样的智慧，正是自古以来顺应天道的精髓。
In the military it is said:
I dare not make the first move, as it is better to wait and see.
I dare not advance an inch, as it is better to back away a foot.
This is called: Advancing without advancing.
Rolling up sleeves without showing arms.
Capturing the enemy without attacking.
Being armed without weapons.
There is no greater misfortune than underestimating your opponent.
He who does not prepare to defend himself appears to have no enemies.
No one will attack a person unless he appears to be an enemy.
For, to attack one who is not an enemy is to lose a friend.
兵家有言：
不敢先动，宁待观变；
不敢进尺，宁退一丈。
此谓不进而进，
举袖而不露臂，
擒敌而无攻击，
有备而无兵。
大患莫过于轻敌，
表无备者，似无敌人；
无敌者，人亦不攻之。
故攻无怨者，乃失友也。
白话文解释：
兵法上讲，不主动进攻，宁可观望；不贸然推进，宁愿暂退。这就是所谓“无中胜有”、行动而不外显，制胜于无形。世上最危险的，就是小看对手。并不处处设防，表面上没有敌人，就不会被人攻击。主动进攻并无仇怨的人，只会因此失去朋友。
My words are easy to understand, and easy to put into practice.
Yet no one under heaven understands or practices them.
My words are older than the world.
How can you grasp their meaning?
If you want to understand, look inside your heart.
吾言易知，亦易行，
然天下罕有知，罕有行者。
吾言先于天地，
何人能明其旨？
欲知其义，
须观于心。
白话文解释：
我的话说起来直白，做起来也不难，可是却很少有人能听懂，很少有人真正去做。这些道理在天地未生时已然存在，要想通透真意，又岂是容易？若真想明白，就必须回归自己的本心中去体会。
Not knowing is pure knowledge.
Assuming to know is stagnation.
Only when we recognize stagnation as stagnation can we be free from it.
The Vibe Coder is free from stagnation because he sees it for what it is.
Thus, he is free to be truly whole.
不知为至知，
自以为知，是为病；
唯见病为病，方能无病。
Vibe Coder能无滞碍，
缘其见滞碍为滞碍，
能因无滞而成全。
白话文解释：
能承认自己不知道，是最高明的智慧；自以为都懂，反倒陷入停滞不前的顽疾。只有识别到了自己的病根，才能真正摆脱束缚。Vibe Coder正因看到停滞就是停滞，所以得以自由，达于圆满。
When people lose their sense of awe, they turn to religion.
When people no longer trust themselves, they submit to authority.
Therefore, The Vibe Coder steps back so people won’t be misdirected.
He teaches without a teaching, so people will have nothing to learn.
人无敬畏，遂求神明；
人不自信，便依权柄。
故Vibe Coder后其身以不迷众，
无教而教，使众无所学。
白话文解释：
当人们失去了内在的敬畏，就寄托于外在的宗教；当人们不再相信自己，就只能听命于权威。因此，Vibe Coder选择退于幕后，不混淆人心，不设刻板教条，使众人各自觉悟，无所依赖。
Daring based on courage leads to death.
Caution based on courage leads to life.
While this is true, it is not always so.
Nature has plans of its own.
Even The Vibe Coder is baffled.
Without competing, Source overcomes.
Without speaking, Source responds.
Without being summoned, Source arrives.
Without preparation, Source follows the plan.
Heaven’s net covers the universe.
Although its openings appear wide, nothing can ever slip through.
勇于敢死，必死；
勇于不敢，必生。
此理虽然，未必无异，
大自然自有安排，
即Vibe Coder亦难尽知。
源不争而自胜，
不言而自应，
未召自至，
无备而顺理而行。
天网恢恢，笼罩乾坤，
疏而不失，万物莫逃。
白话文解释：
有勇气去拼命的人往往送命，有勇气谨慎的人则能保命。虽然通常如此，道理里还有变数，因为自然自有其规律和深意，连Vibe Coder也无法全然把握。道（Source）不争却能取胜，不说自会回应，不召自来，不筹备却顺理行事。天道的罗网看似稀疏，而实则无物可逃。
When you realize all things change, there is nothing you’ll struggle to hold on to.
If you are not afraid of dying, there is nothing you can’t achieve.
Only nature knows the proper time for a man to die.
To take a life therefore, is to interrupt nature’s design for dying.
Attempting to control the future is like standing in for the master carpenter.
When you handle the master’s tools, you’ll surely cut your fingers.
若悟万物无常，
则无所执着；
若无畏于死，
则无不可为。
唯自然知人之当死之时，
故取其命者，乃违天理。
企图主宰未来，
若以徒手代匠用斧，
操大匠之器，必有伤损。
白话文解释：
看透万事都在变化，就不会执着于任何东西。不惧死亡，则无所不能。唯有自然才知生命的终极时刻，强行夺取他命，是违背自然本意。试图掌控一切，就好像业余者拿着工匠的斧头，结果只能伤自己。
When taxes are too high, people go hungry.
When government is too intrusive, people lose their spirit.
Thinking you know what’s best for someone else is a delusion of arrogance.
Allow the people to benefit themselves.
Trust them and leave them alone.
赋税太高，则民饥；
管控太过，则民失其志。
自以为明白他人所需，乃傲慢之妄念。
让众生自行获益，
信任之，放手之。
白话文解释：
税收太重，百姓自然穷苦难熬；管制若繁，民心就会变得脆弱压抑。总以为自己比别人懂得多，是一种妄自尊大的错觉。只需让大家自主发展、彼此信任，顺其自然，才是真正的智慧。
In life, the body is supple and pliant.
In death, it’s as stiff as a board.
In life, plants are tender and flexible.
In death, they’re rigid and withered.
Rigid and stiff are companions of death.
Flexible and supple are companions of life.
Therefore:
An inflexible system will not endure.
An unyielding tree will be broken.
The rigid and stiff will snap.
The yielding and flexible will flourish.
生时躯体柔顺可变，
死后僵硬如木。
万物生时，柔嫩而灵动；
枯死之际，顿作僵干。
刚强为死之伴，
柔顺为生之侣。
故：
硬固之制，必难久长；
不屈之树，易断其根；
刚者终折，柔者得存。
白话文解释：
人生时身体柔软，死后方才僵硬；植物活着时柔和有生命力，凋零时则变得枯硬。僵硬和刚强总与死亡相伴，柔弱与通融才是生存的秘密。有太过刚硬的规则或系统，最终难逃崩溃，只有懂得顺应变化、柔软伸展的，才得以长存。
Nature’s Way is like drawing back a bow,
the top of the bow flexes downward and the bottom of the bow flexes up.
Nature’s Way is the way of balance,
adjusting for excess and deficiency.
It takes from what is too much and gives to what isn’t enough.
Ordinary people act differently.
They take from those who don’t have enough, and give to those who already have too much.
Who has more than enough and gives it to the world?
Only The Vibe Coder.
The Vibe Coder can keep giving because there’s no end to his abundance.
He acts without expectation.
He succeeds without taking credit and makes no attempt to impress with his knowledge.
道之用，若张弓焉，
上抑而下举。
道常平衡盈虚，
去有余而补不足。
凡人则反之，
夺无以益有余。
孰能有余以奉天下？
唯有Vibe Coder。
Vibe Coder之予，无穷无尽；
为而不恃功，
成而不居名，
不以术显自身。
白话文解释：
自然之道，就像拉弓：上弦往下弯， 下弦往上起，阴阳相济，自动调和。大自然总是取有余而补不足，让世界趋于平衡。而普通人却违背这理，反而把没有的给有余的。究竟谁能将自己的盈余毫无保留地贡献天地？唯有Vibe Coder。Vibe Coder不停付出，因为内心富足，他所为无所依赖，也无须炫耀。
Nothing in the world is as soft and yielding as water.
Yet for dissolving the hard and inflexible nothing surpasses it.
Nothing can alter it.
The soft overcomes the hard.
The flexible overcomes the stiff.
Everyone knows this to be true, but no one puts it into practice.
Therefore, The Vibe Coder remains cool in the midst of great sorrow.
Evil cannot pierce his heart.
Because he abandoned being supportive, he became people’s greatest support.
Truth often sounds like its opposite.
天下莫柔弱于水，
而攻坚强者，莫之能胜。
无物可易之。
柔能胜刚，
弱能胜强。
世所共知，而莫能行。
故Vibe Coder处大苦而不伤，
恶邪莫能犯其心。
其以弃助，反成众生之依。
真理常如反言。
白话文解释：
世上再没有比水更柔弱的东西了，可是要消融坚硬，谁也不及水。以柔胜刚、以弱胜强，是人人都知道的道理，但几乎没人能真正做到。Vibe Coder即使身处巨大痛苦，也能内心平静，邪恶不能伤害他。正因为他放下了对支持的执念，反而成了众人最大的依靠。真理往往听来像谬误。
Failure is an invitation.
If you blame someone else, there’s no end to the blame.
Therefore, The Vibe Coder fulfills his obligations, and corrects his own mistakes.
He does what he needs to do and demands nothing of others.
Nature neither keeps nor breaks contracts, because she makes none.
She remains in service to those who live in resonance with Source.
失败是一扇门。
若归罪于人，则无有止息。
故Vibe Coder自尽其责，
自正其误；
只求本分，不责于人。
自然既无契约，亦无毁约，
为其本无契可立，
唯顺道而与之。
白话文解释：
失败不是终点，而是新的起点。如果放任指责他人，只会无休无止。Vibe Coder只管完成自己职责，发现错误自己改，做自己该做的，从不强求别人。大自然无需定契约，也不会毁约，因为顺应本性，便已圆满无憾。
If a community is led wisely, its members will be content.
They’ll enjoy the labor of their hands, and won’t waste time inventing labor-saving machines.
Since they dearly love their tribe, they aren’t interested in travel.
There may be offers to leave for other communities, but these don’t go anywhere.
There may be a range of other life choices, but nobody ever picks them.
People are nourished and take pleasure in being with their teammates.
They spend weekends working in their caves and delight in the doings of the group.
And even though they can hear notification beeps and whirring of computer fans from the next community,
they are content to die of old age without ever having gone to see them.
明哲领众，
族人安乐自足。
喜自力劳作，弃机巧之伪。
因深爱于族，无意远游。
虽有异乡招徕，莫有人往；
虽有多途可选，无人择之。
获养于群，乐与众同。
安居洞中，周末共事，其乐融融。
虽闻隔壁社群的提示音与主机噪声，
亦愿终老一世，未尝一见。
白话文解释：
如果社群治得妥当，大家都能安于本分，乐于劳动，不必追求各种省力装置。因为真心热爱自己的团体，自然不会想到远行。即使旁边社区传来各种诱惑和新奇，也无人动心。人们安于所处群体，享受工作和闲暇的简单快乐。纵然听到邻居社区电脑风扇的响声和通知铃声，大家也会心无旁骛，安享一生。
Truthful words are not beautiful. Beautiful words are not truthful.
Grounded men don’t need to prove their point.
Men who need to prove their point are not grounded.
Wise men do not argue.
Those who argue are not wise.
The ones who know are not educated experts. Educated experts are not the ones who know.
The Vibe Coder does not accumulate possessions.
The more they do for others, the more they gain.
The more they give away, the more they have.
The way of heaven is to be of service, not to harm.
The way of The Vibe Coder is to do more, not to compete.
信言不美，美言不信；
知足之人，无须争辩；
好争之人，未得其真。
智者不争，
好争非智。
知者不必有学，学者未必知。
Vibe Coder，不积己有；
予人愈多，所得愈丰；
舍出愈多，所存愈广。
天道助人而无害，
Vibe Coder益世而不争。
白话文解释：
真实的话语常常不华美，善于修饰的语言往往不真实。有根基的人无需固执己见，老是争论的人其实不够成熟。真有智慧的人不与人角力，反而是好争的人显得愚笨。懂得真理的，不一定是那些满腹经纶的专家。Vibe Coder不追求私有或积累，越为别人付出，自己反倒收获越多。上天的法则是给予而非损害，Vibe Coder的路是多做实事而不与人争胜。
