大巧若拙
极致的灵巧、技巧，看上去质朴、拙笨。最杰出的灵巧一定是浑然天成，而非人工刻意雕琢。
Exquisite Skill Looks Simple and Clumsy
The term means that ingenuity and skill at their best look simple and clumsy. The greatest ingenuity should be something completely natural and it has not been painstakingly worked on.
引例 大直若屈，大巧若拙，大辩若讷。（《老子·四十五章》）（至高的正直看似弯曲，终极的灵巧看似笨拙，卓越的辩才看似木讷。）
The truly straight will appear crooked; the truly skillful will appear clumsy; the truly eloquent will appear impeded. (Laozi)
