  • Original Chinese text

When the Great Tao is abandoned, benevolence and righteousness show up.  
When cleverness and cunning appear, hypocrisy and deceit follow.  
When the six family ties fall into discord, filial piety and parental kindness are promoted.  
When the country is thrown into chaos, loyal ministers appear.
