 The terms you 有 and wu 無 are among the most important metaphysical terms in the Chinese tradition (see Liu Jing 2017; Chai 2014b; Wang Bo 2011; Cheng 2009; Bai 2008; and the essays in Liu and Berger 2014). They are often translated as “being” and “non-being”, but wu refers not to radical nothingness but to the lack of differentiated beings. Thus in the context of the Laozi, Hans-Georg Moeller (2007) translates the two terms as “presence” and “non-presence”, Roger T. Ames and David L. Hall (2003) translate them as “determinate” and “indeterminate”, and Brook Ziporyn (2014) as “being-there” and “not-being-there”.
