How are you translating the ‘hun’ in line one?

same age as well

Do you distinguish wei wu wei from wu wei?

That’s meaning no. 1 … have a look at the other 30 meanings.

You need to research the meaning of virtue.

The whole thing is poetic.

I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name ‘Cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain

But how did you get from names to morals?

In Portuguese the word for sky is ceu and the word for Heaven, Ceu. Just for interest.

Ok but could you go through the thought process that led you there please? I am interested.

you don’t explain your choice there you just say what it is. Why is morals better than name(s)?

People study Shakespeare using modern English versions if they tried the original they wouldn’t understand it - same with Chaucer and Beowulf etc.

why though what is your reasoning?

@Cobie that's interesting but surely the whole idea of this chapter is a kind of play off between named and nameless (or unnamed) ... which would make ming = name as more likely.
