<< review queue entry 65732 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> 2 problems with our definition 1) "progress in the Dao can seem illusory" I think that's wrong. 进道若退 implies that when there is progress it seems like regress. If it suggests that something is illusory, it's the sense of regress, not the (actual) progress. Example translations: "The advancing Tao appears to retreat" https://taoism.net/tao/tao-te-ching-online-translation/ "Going forward seems like retreat" https://www.wussu.com/laotzu/laotzu41.html 2) "entering the Way ..." The translations above understand 进 as "advancing", not "entering" as our definition would suggest. And similarly, HDC uses 前进 to explain the 进 in 进道若退. |
