成長、成就?！俺伞敝饕甘挛锍蜃陨淼耐耆删投饾u成長變化的過程。萬物在出生、產(chǎn)生之時獲得了某些與生俱來的屬性、能力。但對于人和鳥獸草木等生物而言，這些屬性、能力需要在后天的生存過程中不斷成長，才有可能接近或?qū)崿F(xiàn)完全的成就。古人或重視個體的自我成長，或強調(diào)個體的成長需要接受外在的引導(dǎo)與規(guī)范。此外，“成”也指事情、功業(yè)的成就。

Cheng?(成), meaning "grow" or "consummate" as a verb, describes the gradual growth of things towards consummation. All things possess innate qualities and abilities from their birth or generation. However, for such creatures as humans, birds, beasts, and plants, these qualities and abilities need to be continually developed during their existence, so that they can approach or achieve consummation. In ancient times, some philosophers laid emphasis on individual growth, while others stressed the importance of external guidance or instruction for individual growth. Additionally, cheng can also connote "accomplishment" in various fields and career pursuits.

◎誠者非自成己而已也，所以成物也。成己，仁也；成物，知也。（《禮記·中庸》）
真誠不欺之德并不只是自己用來成就自身，也用以成就其他事物。成就自己，是仁德；成就他者，是智慧。

A person in possession of sincerity does not merely accomplish selfconsummation. With this quality one also consummates other things. Selfconsummation shows one's perfect virtue, while consummation of other things shows one's wisdom. (The Book of Rites)

◎道生之，德畜之，物形之，勢成之。是以萬物莫不尊道而貴德。道之尊，德之貴，夫莫之命而常自然。故道生之，德畜之，長之育之，成之熟之，養(yǎng)之覆之。生而不有，為而不恃，長而不宰。是謂玄德。（《老子·五十一章》）

道生成萬物，德蓄養(yǎng)萬物，萬物呈現(xiàn)各自的形態(tài)，環(huán)境使萬物成長。所以萬物沒有不尊崇道而珍貴德的。道之所以受尊崇，德之所以被珍貴，就在于它不施加命令而常順應(yīng)萬物的自然狀態(tài)。因此道創(chuàng)生萬物，德蓄養(yǎng)萬物，長養(yǎng)培育萬物，成就萬物，養(yǎng)護萬物。創(chuàng)生萬物而不據(jù)為己有，影響萬物而不自恃己能，養(yǎng)育萬物而不為主宰，這就是玄德。

Dao is the origin of all things;?de?(virtue) nurtures all things, which thus assume their different forms, and grow in different environments. That is why all things and beings revere dao and cherish virtue. Such reverence and cherishing arise because there are no demands imposed on the natural state of things and beings. Instead, this state is complied with. Therefore, dao generates all things, while virtue nurtures them by making them grow, mature, and remain under shelter. To generate things without possessing them, to do something without showing off one's ability, and to make things grow without dominating them can be deemed as the qualities of unpretentious virtue. (Laozi)
