第五十七化、《解道德》
布面油画，120×90cm，2016 年 8 月 18 日

汉文帝请河上公讲《道德经》，河上公说，道是诚恳求的，哪有送货上门的。皇帝亲自来了
说，你虽然有道，但还是我的子民。河上公离地数丈，说：我上不在天，下不居地，中不累

人，何民之有乎？这讲的是法身，超越一切的存在。能真正解《道德经》的一定是元神，河
上公也是成道人再来，从画面解释，什么叫有道德？有法身才是有道德。

Fifty-seventh, "Explain Tao Te"
oil on canvas, 120 × 90cm, August 18, 2016

The Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty invited He Shang Gong to discuss about Tao Te

Ching. He Shang Gong said, Tao can only be pursued with sincerity and cannot be
delivered. The emperor came in person and told, “Although you have Tao, you are

still my people” He Shang Gong hovered several feet off the ground and said, “I
am not in the sky, not on the ground, and not troubling anyone. How can I be your
people?” This speaks of Fa Shen, which is beyond everything. Only Yuan Shen is

able to truly understand Tao Te Ching, so He Shang Gong must be a re-born person
with achieved Tao. How to explain Tao Te in this picture? Only those with Fa Shen

are able to have Tao Te.
