in context of ddj 42:
...
the important point
is the natural evolution
from the simple to the complex
without any act of creation.
This theory is common to practically all Chinese philosophical schools.
---------------------------------------------
BTW:
i understand ddj 41 this way:
Concerning understanding dao (wen dao)
first:
we understand its swing
(expressed by qin2 and xing2)
qin2:
http://www.alice-dsl.net/taijiren/6_qin2_m1097.htm
it depicts: power + understanding by mind + grasping + fire + human + earth +
xing2:
http://www.alice-dsl.net/taijiren/2_xing2_m2754.htm
it depicts: once left - once right
yi yin yi yang
---
next (in middle phase):
we understand you3 and wu2
the visible and unvisible
the conscious and unconscious
(expressed by cun2 (existing visible) and wang2(hidden in realm we do not can see...grasp...hear but know about))
--
third (in a final phase)
understanding the dynamical equilibrium (da4) we smile (xiao4)
in being kept in suspense of interdependency between energy and matter we can recognize what laozi is calling dao
