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.
出生入死。生之徒十有三，死之徒十有三，人之生動之死地亦十有三。夫何故？以其生生之厚。蓋聞善攝生者，陸行不遇兕虎，入軍不被甲兵。兕無所投其角，虎無所措其爪，兵無所容其刃。夫何故？以其無死地。Coming out into life, going in to death. Followers of life are three in ten; followers of death are three in ten; and those who live but by their own moves go to the place of death are also three in ten. Why is this? Because they cling too hard to life. I have heard that one good at preserving life travels on land without meeting rhinoceros or tiger, and goes into battle without wearing armor or carrying weapons. The rhinoceros finds nowhere to drive its horn, the tiger nowhere to set its claws, the weapon nowhere to lodge its blade. Why is this? Because he has no place of death.
白Plain Chinese
人出生就是入于死。属于长生一类的，占十分之三；属于短命一类的，占十分之三；人本可以活，却自己走向死地的，也占十分之三。这是什么缘故呢？因为他们奉养生命太过度了。听说善于保养生命的人，在陆地上行走不会遇到犀牛老虎，进入军队不会受到兵器伤害。犀牛没处用它的角，老虎没处用它的爪，兵器没处用它的刃。这是什么缘故呢？因为他没有进入死地。
Draft plain-Chinese rendering following Wang Bi; it will be checked when the chapter is taught.
