title: "道德经（帛書校勘版） · 第七十四章 不強"
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。"

### （30）

> I'm ready to assist with your Buddhist scripture translation. However, I notice that you've only provided "（30）" without the actual Chinese text to translate. Could you please provide the source text you'd like me to translate into accessible modern English?

以道佐人主 不以兵強於天下 亓事好還

> Those who follow the Way in assisting their ruler do not seek to dominate the world through force of arms, for such actions tend to bring about their own retaliation.

師之所居 楚棘生之

> Where the teacher resides, thorns and brambles grow.

善者果而已矣 毋以取強焉

> The good leader achieves results and stops there, never using force to dominate.

果而毋驕 果而勿矜 果而勿伐 果而毋得已居 是謂果而不強

> Achieve results without becoming arrogant, accomplish goals without bragging, succeed without boasting, and do what must be done without clinging to it. This is called achieving without forcing.

物壯而老 是謂之不道 不道蚤已

> When something reaches its peak and then declines, this is called "not following the Way." To not follow the Way is to come to an early end.
