Chapter 6
第六章
The valley spirit dies not, aye the same;
谷神不死,
The female mystery thus do we name.
是谓玄牝,
Its gate, from which at first they issued forth,
玄牝之门,
![道德经 道德经](http://pic.kekenet.com/2018/0529/54331527583452.jpg)
Is called the root from which grew heaven and earth.
是谓天地根。
Long and unbroken does its power remain,
绵绵若存,
Used gently, and without the touch of pain.
用之不勤。
