Laozi pointed to the vast Yellow River and said to Confucius: "Why don't you learn the great virtues of water?" Confucius said: "What virtues does water have?" Laozi said: "The best thing is like water: water is good for all things. It is the virtue of being humble to not fight, and to get along with what everyone dislikes. Therefore, the river and the sea can be the king of a hundred valleys, and if they are good at it, they can be the king of a hundred valleys. No one in the world is soft and weak on water, and no one can attack the strong one. To be able to win, this is the virtue of softness; therefore, softness overcomes hardness, and weakness overcomes strongness. Because it has no existence, it can enter the non-existence. From this, we can see the benefits of teaching without words and doing nothing." Confucius heard this. , suddenly realized: "Sir's words made me suddenly understand: when everyone is up, the water is down; where everyone is easy, when the water is alone it is dangerous; when everyone is clean, when the water is alone, it is filthy. Wherever there are people, everything is evil, husband Who wants to argue with you? This is the best thing to do." Laozi nodded and said, "You can teach me! You must remember: If you don't fight with the world, no one in the world can fight with you. This is the virtue of Shuiji. On the Tao: The Tao is everywhere, the water is unfavorable, avoid heights and go downwards, without going against the grain, it is good to be on the ground; empty space is pure and quiet, unfathomable, and good is an abyss; loss is not exhausted, giving without expecting reward, good is It is benevolent; the circle must turn, the square must fold, the blockage must stop, the decision must flow, good and trustworthy; wash away the filth of the crowd, level the high and low, and be good at managing things; use it to carry it, it will float, use it as a warning, it will be clear, and use it to attack, it will be strong There is no enemy, but you must make good use of your abilities; don’t give up day and night, keep pace with the times, and treat the times well. Therefore, the sage acts at any time, the wise man changes according to the situation; the wise man governs without doing anything, and the wise man lives according to nature. , We should get rid of arrogance in words and appearance, otherwise, the voice will be heard before the person arrives, and the wind will move before the body arrives.
