Good as water. Water is good for all things without dispute, and evil for all, so it is a few words. Living in a good place, kind-hearted, kind-hearted, good at words, good at politics, good at doing things, good at dealing with people. Husband is just indisputable, so there is nothing special.
Translation:
The best quality is water. Water is good for all things without striving for merit, and stays in places that people don't like, so it is closest to the Tao. (So) We should live in a humble place like water, have a deep heart like water, be friendly to people like water, be faithful to each other like water, improvise for the powerful like water, do everything like water, and act in a timely manner like water. Just because we don't argue with things, we don't make mistakes.

Two cores of Laozi's philosophy: nature and inaction. Nature is a manifestation of inaction and also a kind of "inaction". Doing nothing is doing everything. Laozi's Tao has two commonly used figurative images: one is a baby and the other is water. Babies express the nature of Tao, while water expresses the inaction of Tao. Shui Rou is nothing, colorless, intangible and tasteless. We are in contact with water every day, but we can hardly feel its existence. However, water is one of the greatest forces in nature, omnipotent and invincible. It can be as small as a drop and as big as a river; It can be turned into three feet of hard ice in cold weather and into rolling steam in hot weather; It can be as smooth as a mirror when it is quiet, and it can set off huge waves when it is restless. It can moisten things quietly, hold up a ship of 10,000 tons, wash down houses, and make steel rot ... The latter is the "heartless" feature of water and one of the characteristics of Tao.
