Chapter 18
第十八章
When the Great Tao (Way or Method) ceased to be observed, benevolence and righteousness came into vogue.
大道廢，有仁義，
(Then) appeared wisdom and shrewdness, and there ensued great hypocrisy.
智慧出，有大偽，
When harmony no longer prevailed throughout the six kinships, filial sons found their manifestation;
六親不和，有孝慈，
when the states and clans fell into disorder, loyal ministers appeared.
國家昏亂，有忠臣。
