又说咱们中国道家讲阴阳,这开篇是借男女讲阴阳之气。阴阳之气相游相交,初不可太盛,太盛则折,折就是“折断”的“折”……“太盛则折;太弱则泻。”老头儿说我的毛病又太盛。又说,若对手盛;则以柔化之。可要在化的同时,造成克势,柔不是弱,是容,是收,是含。含而化之,让对手入你的势。这势要你造,需要无为而无不为。无为即是道,也就是棋运之大可不变,你想变,就不是象棋,输不用说了,连棋边儿都沾不上。棋运不可悖,但每局的势要自己造,棋运和势即有,那可就无所不为了。玄是真玄,可细琢磨,是那么个理儿。

One wet night I was coming home through Hyde Park from working late on a job in Paddington.Pain and wind and swept boughs and sickly gasights on the wet asphalt;and poles nad scaffolding about in preparation for the Jubilee celebration.I had sent a couple of attempts on the subject to the Bulletin,and had got encouragement in Answer to Correspondents.And now the idea of“Sons of the South”or“Song of the Republic”came.I wrote it and screwed up courage to go down to the Bulletin after hours,intending to chop the thing into the letter box,but just as I was about to do so,or rather making up my mind as to whether I’d shove it in,or take it home and have another look at the spelling and the dictionary,the door opened suddenly and a haggard woman stood there. And I shoved the thing into her hand and got away round the corner,feeling something like a person who had been nearly caught on the premises under suspicious circumstances and was not safe yet by any means.
I hadn’t the courage to go near the Bulletin often again,but used to lie awake at night and get up very early and ship down to the nearest news-agent’s on Thursday mornings,to have a pep at the Bulletin,in fear and trembling and half furtively, as if the news-agent-another hard-life woman,by the way,named Mrs Furlong—would guess my secret.At last,sick with disappointment,I ment to the office and saw Mr Archibird,who seemed surprised,encouraged me a lot and told me that they were holding the “Song of a Republic”over for a special occasion—Eight Hours Day.
