道,可道,非常道;名,可名,非常名。【言常道不可道,常名不可名也。常道常名谓道也。二十五章云:有物混成,先天地生,吾不知其名,字之曰道。是也。道在天地之先,而万古不变,故曰常也。既有天地之后,万变不穷,其道可道,其名可名,然变而非常矣。】无名,天地之始;有名,万物之母。【河上公注云:无名者谓道,有名谓天地。】故常无,欲以观其妙;常有,欲以观其徼。【无欲,谓禁遏其欲也。常禁遏其欲,以观道妙,然万物皆有欲。出生入死,故又常以己之有欲。观万物之归趣也。河上云:徼』,归』也。观世俗之归趣。陆云:『徼』,『小道』也;『边』也;『微妙』也。】此两者同出而异名,同谓之玄,玄之又玄,众妙之门。【河上云:两者,谓有欲无欲也。澧谓:于其禁遏,名之曰无,于其本有,名之曰有也。】
