Ruling a great nation is like frying a little fish
If the world is overseen with the Way:
It's ghosts will not be divine
Well... not that they are not divine
Their divinity shall not harm the people
Not only that they don't harm the people
But the Sage wouldn't harm them either!
Where these two halves do not harm
Character concocts a return there
治大國若烹小鮮
以道蒞天下
其鬼不神
非其鬼不神
其神不傷人
非其神不傷人
聖人亦不傷人
夫兩不相傷
故德交歸焉
