大朴（上徒葢反蒼頡篇云大巨也易曰大哉乾元萬物資始下普剝反正作樸字說文云木素也聲類云凡物未雕刻曰樸王弼云樸真也猶氣像未分也莊子云純朴不殘孰為犧罇又日夫殘樸以為器工匠之罪也毀道德為仁義聖人之過也）。

Da pu 大朴 (The upper character is the fanqie tu + gai; the Cangjie pian states: 'Da means great.' The Book of Changes states: 'Great indeed is Qian the Origin, from which all things take their start.' The lower character is the fanqie pu + bo, properly written as the character 樸. The Shuowen states: 'It is the raw state of wood.' The Shenglei states: 'Anything not yet carved is called pu.' Wang Bi states: 'Pu means genuine, like the formless state of qi before differentiation.' The Zhuangzi states: 'If pristine simplicity is not harmed, who would make sacrificial goblets?' It also states: 'Now, harming raw wood to make utensils is the fault of the craftsman; destroying virtue to establish humaneness and righteousness is the fault of the sage.').
