1.29

Ascending the hall, [the Master] said: "Last night was the eve of the closing year; this morning is the first day of the year. / It is altogether an ordinary day, yet people of the world give rise to strange views, / Not knowing how to pursue the root and source, but merely searching for branches and vines. / New and old are just as it is right now; look carefully and distinctly; / If you deliberate further, it is a chisel of the Qin dynasty!"
