      ~{  小国寡民。使有什伯之器而不用；使民重死而不远徙。虽有舟舆~}

      ~{，无所乘之，虽有甲兵，无所陈之。使民复结绳而用之。~}

      ~{  甘其食，美其服，安其居，乐其俗。邻国相望，鸡犬之声相闻，~}

      ~{民至老死，不相往来。~}

      80. Small Places

      Let your community be small, with only a few people;

      Keep tools in abundance, but do not depend upon them;

      Appreciate your life and be content with your home;

      Sail boats and ride horses, but don't go too far;

      Keep weapons and armor, but do not employ them;

      Let everyone read and write,

      Eat well and make beautiful things.

      Live peacefully and delight in your own society;

      Dwell within cock-crow of your neighbors,

      But maintain your independence from them.
