1.18

Chaofu and Xu You concealed their brilliance at Mount Jishan; how could they have done so to promote the Way in the world? Yet the world naturally promoted their Way. (Chao is a place name; 'to conceal' means to hide away. Zhuangzi's chapter 'Yielding the Throne' says: Yao wished to yield the realm to Xu You, but Xu You would not accept, and hid on Mount Jishan.)
