From Chen Jiru's "Xiao Chuang You Ji" and Hong Yingming's "Cai Gen Tan".

Original text: Unfazed by favor or disgrace, I watch the flowers blooming and falling in front of the court; I have no intention of leaving or leaving, and I watch the clouds rolling and relaxing in the sky.

Explanation: I don’t care about glory or humiliation, I just enjoy the blooming and decline of flowers and plants in the courtyard leisurely; I don’t care about promotion or demotion, I just watch the clouds in the sky rolling freely.

Only when you treat favors and disgrace as normal as flowers blooming and falling can you not be surprised when doing things for others; only when you treat positions as changing as clouds and clouds, can you deal with them indifferently.

This was originally a couplet, expressing a state of mind, derived from traditional Chinese Taoist thought. The "Tao" advocated by Taoism refers to all things in the world nature and the laws of its natural cycle. All things in nature are in constant motion and change, and Tao is its basic law. It is a specific explanation of "Tao". Therefore, only when human life activities conform to the laws of nature can people live longer. This is the fundamental view of Taoist health preservation.

Do nothing and don’t fight. This is Lao Tzu’s warning to the king. Don’t compete with the people for profit. Emperors of ancient times have always attached great importance to Taoism, and any country governed by Taoist ideas will prosper and be strong. When modern people talk about Taoism, they think it means a superficial impression of tranquility, natural inaction, or traditional Chinese medicine for health preservation. The real Taoism is far more profound and profound than these superficial impressions.

Ji Xiaolan once commented on Taoism: it encompasses all ages and is broad and subtle. It is said to be far-reaching and inclusive, and praised for its richness, breadth and delicacy. In Chinese culture, Taoism is the most elegant, clear, wise and wise.

The British sinologist Joseph Needham also believed: "Chinese culture is like a towering tree, and the roots of this big tree are in Taoism."
