Wang Bi (226–249 CE)
万物万形，其归一也。何由致一？由于无也。由无乃一，一可谓无？已谓之一，岂得无言乎？有言有一，非二如何？有一有二，遂生乎三。从无之有，数尽乎斯，过此以往，非道之流。
James Legge (1891)
The Tao produced One; One produced Two; Two produced Three; Three produced All things. All things leave behind them the Obscurity (out of which they have come), and go forward to embrace the Brightness (into which they have emerged), while they are harmonised by the Breath of Vacancy.
