Their court(-yards and buildings) shall be well kept, but their fields

Categories: PART II.
Books: THE TAO AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS

Their court(-yards and buildings) shall be well kept, but their
fields shall be ill-cultivated, and their granaries very empty They

shall wear elegant and ornamented robes, carry a sharp sword at their

girdle, pamper themselves in eating and drinking, and have a

superabundance of property and wealth;--such (princes) may be called

robbers and boasters This is contrary to the Tao surely!
