Although there is a concept of honor, Yan Chaoran.
How can you be the master of all things and despise the world?
If you are light, you will lose your roots, and if you are impetuous, you will lose your gentleman.
Trench: Equipment, food and other materials carried by the ancient army. Rongguan: a place where nobles play, which generally refers to colorful life.
Yanchu: Where to live. Lord of riding: refers to the number of cars. "Wancheng" refers to a big country with 10 thousand chariots.

We can also reuse the quietness of Laozi in our life, instead of living in a state of abstinence.
A person who is good at self-cultivation can take his time in doing anything and do things well step by step; Stay calm and firm, never lose yourself and live a peaceful, quiet and enjoyable life.
