    [Literary Edition]: Fu Dao refers to the origin of all things; Xuan Ye refers to the source of the netherworld; the so-called mysterious is mysterious and is the door to all wonders. [Second Edition]: "The Preface to the Biography of the Tao Te Ching" says: The Great Dao is hidden, the world's religion is declining, and the world is in chaos. At that time, heaven will surely give birth to a saint... [Self-prefaced version]: I am writing an article. I hope you will not be ignorant of good and evil and read it quickly.
