知其雄
“Know the masculine, yet keep to the feminine — become the valley of the world. Know the bright, yet keep to the dark — become a pattern for the world.”
知其雄，守其雌，为天下谿。为天下谿，常德不离，复归于婴儿。知其白，守其黑，为天下式。为天下式，常德不忒，复归于无极。知其荣，守其辱，为天下谷。为天下谷，常德乃足，复归于朴。朴散则为器，圣人用之则为官长。故大制不割。
Strength and gentleness are not opposites — they are both yours to hold. You can be fierce and soft, ambitious and content. True wholeness embraces all parts of you.
三组'知雄守雌/知白守黑/知荣守辱'：深知阴阳、明暗、荣辱两端，却安守柔、暗、辱的一面。
复归——回到婴儿、无极、朴的原始状态。
大制不割——真正的治理（大道）是不割裂的。
此章是老子'反者道之动'的具体应用。
