title: "道德经（帛書校勘版） · 第十八章 含德"
description: "道德经帛书校勘版是依据马王堆汉墓出土帛书整理的老子文本，更接近春秋时期原貌。作者老子曾任周朝守藏室史，身处礼崩乐坏的时代变革期。全书分道经与德经两篇，系统阐述道生万物、尊道贵德、无为而治等思想，强调顺应自然规律与内在修为。虽属道家经典，但在佛教中国化进程中与佛理相互印证，其空性思想与缘起观形成哲学对话，在大乘佛教典籍中常被引为本土智慧参照，成为中华传统文化中佛道融通的重要思想基石。"

### （55）

> I notice you've sent "（55）" which appears to be just a number in parentheses, not a Buddhist scripture or title to translate. Could you please provide the actual Buddhist text you'd like me to translate from Chinese to English?

含德之厚者 比於赤子 蜂蠆虺蛇弗螫 攫鳥猛獸弗搏 骨弱筋柔而握固 未知牝牡之合而朘怒 精之至也 終日號而不嚘 和之至也

> One who embodies virtue in its fullest depth is like a newborn baby. Vipers and venomous insects do not sting it; Fierce birds and beasts do not attack it. Its bones are soft, its sinews tender, yet its grip is firm. It does not yet know the union of male and female, yet its vitality stirs— This is the utmost expression of essence. It cries all day long without becoming hoarse— This is the utmost harmony.

和曰常 知和曰明 益生曰祥 心使氣曰強

> To be harmonious with the everyday is called constancy. To know this constancy is called clarity. To nourish life is called auspiciousness. To let the mind drive the vital energy is called forcefulness.

物壯即老 謂之不道 不道早已

> When something reaches its peak strength, it begins to age. This is called being out of harmony with the Way. What is out of harmony with the Way will soon come to an end.
