~{ 埏埴以为器,当其无,有器之用。~}
~{ 凿户牖以为室,当其无,有室之用。~}

11. Continence
Thirty spokes meet at a nave;
Because of the hole we may use the wheel.
Clay is moulded into a vessel;
Because of the hollow we may use the cup.
Walls are built around a hearth;
Because of the doors we may use the house.
Thus distinctions seem to contain,
But their use is to transform.
