Tian Xingjian; A gentleman strives for self-improvement. If you don't use the hidden dragon, Yang is next. See the dragon in the field, Deshipu also. Do it all day, over and over again. Or jump into the abyss and have no regrets. Fei long is in the sky, and Niu San is also there. Kang long has regrets and cannot last long. With nine, Tiande can't be the first.
Translation:
Heaven keeps running, and no one can stop it. A gentleman should follow the example of heaven, be self-reliant and self-reliant.
"Dragons appear on the ground", just like sunshine, people all over the world generally benefit. "Self-improvement all day long" is because we should avoid repetition and dare not be careless. "It's harmless for a dragon to leap or retreat from Yu Yuan", because it can assess the situation, so it can advance and retreat freely without harm. "
Dragonflies fly high in the sky ",which means that great men with high prestige will definitely do something. When dragonflies reach a high level, they will regret it", because in the end, they will go to their opposite. The image of "using nine" says that although everything will be born tomorrow, it will not take the lead and take no credit.

Classical Chinese says: Yuan is the leader of all good. Constant is a collection of beauty. Benefit is the unity of righteousness and reason. Chastity is the pillar of career. A gentleman's performance of benevolence and righteousness is enough to command the public, the combination of beauty is enough to conform to propriety and righteousness, benefiting others and benefiting oneself is enough to be synonymous, and adhering to the right path is enough to achieve a career. The gentleman cultivated these four virtues, so he said, "The divination of Gan has these four virtues: Yuan, Heng, Reason and Truth."
