ruò ㄖㄨㄛˋ (2): Same as “” běi hǎi ruò ㄅㄟˇ ㄏㄞˇ ㄖㄨㄛˋ: 北海海神名。 Ruo, a god of the Northern Sea.
| 《·》: | 顺流而东行，至于北海，东面而视，不见水端，于是焉河伯始旋其面目，望洋向若而叹，曰：“野语有之曰‘闻道百，以为莫己若’” | | Along the course of the river he walked east till he came to the North Sea, over which he looked, with his face to the east, without being able to see where its waters began. Then he began to turn his face round, looked across the expanse, (as if he were) confronting Ruo, and said with a sigh, 'What the vulgar saying expresses about him who has learned a hundred points (of the Dao), and thinks that there is no one equal to himself.' |
