一孔录The video for this chapter is still in production. For now this page gives the original text, the facsimile page, a working translation and the commentary; the full reading follows when the video is out.
知人者智，自知者明。勝人者有力，自勝者强。知足者富，强行者有志。不失其所者久，死而不亡者壽。One who knows others is clever; one who knows himself is clear-sighted. One who conquers others has strength; one who conquers himself is strong. One who knows contentment is rich; one who acts with persistence has will. One who does not lose his place endures; one who dies but is not forgotten lives long.
白Plain Chinese
了解别人的是智者，了解自己的才是明白人。战胜别人的是有力量，战胜自己的才是坚强。知道满足的就是富有，坚持力行的就是有志。不失去自己根本的就能长久，身死而道不亡的才是长寿。
Draft plain-Chinese rendering following Wang Bi; it will be checked when the chapter is taught.
