2.29
Doctrinal expositions of every kind are all forced effort;
Passed on from ear to mouth, they turn to confusion.
Farming the fields to earn rice is an ordinary family matter;
Unless one has deeply engaged, one cannot know it.
Having fully engaged, one clearly knows there is nothing to seek;
Zifang ultimately did not value being enfeoffed as a marquis.
Forgetting contrivance, returning to be one with fish and birds,
Washing his feet in the Canglang beneath autumn's misty waters.
