Verb
治身
- (literary) Synonym of 修身 (xiūshēn, “to cultivate one's moral character”).
- 道之真以治身，其緒餘以為國家，其土苴以治天下。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
- From: Zhuangzi, circa 3rd – 2nd centuries BCE, translated based on James Legge's version
- Dào zhī zhēn yǐ zhìshēn, qí xùyú yǐ wéi guójiā, qí chǎzhǎ yǐ zhì tiānxià. [Pinyin]
- The true object of the Dao is the regulation of the person. Quite subordinate to this is its use in the management of the state and the clan; while the government of the kingdom is but the dust and refuse of it.
道之真以治身，其绪余以为国家，其土苴以治天下。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]
