8.27

"Question: The teaching of Laozi cultivates the self and governs the state, casting aside honor and high status. Discussing the Great Dao, it serves as the origin of the Three Powers; analyzing supreme virtue, it forms the root of the five matters. It is like the molding of clay into vessels, or the inexhaustibility of the bellows. Why do you, Master, suppress it beneath Confucianism?"
