Writing is advanced through clumsiness, and Taoism is achieved through clumsiness. A clumsy word has infinite meaning. Like the barking of dogs in Taoyuan and the crow of cocks in the mulberry trees, how honest they are. As for the moon in the cold pond, and the crows on the ancient trees, they feel that they have a rusty atmosphere despite their skillful workmanship.

Whether you are studying or writing articles, you must use the most stupid method to make progress. Especially in cultivating moral character, you must have a simple attitude to achieve success. It can be seen that the word "clumsy" contains infinite mystery. Just as Tao Yuanming said in "The Peach Blossom Spring", "The roads are connected, and the chickens and dogs hear each other." This is such a simple style. As for the shadow of the moon reflected in the cold pool and the crows falling on the withered old trees, they appear to be really poetic and picturesque on the surface, but in fact they show a scene of illusory decay.

"Don't use skills, use clumsiness to make progress" is a strategy. Lao Tzu has a saying that "skill is the slave of clumsiness" and "clumsy can control skill". In Jiao's "Yi Lin", there is also a saying that "the cleverness of writing and the loss of tongue will return to great quality". The so-called "great quality" means to turn cleverness into clumsiness, that is to say, to prove that things must be reversed to the extreme, because the article has reached the extreme, it has nothing to say. The so-called "talents are exhausted", "skills are self-defeating" and the famous saying of Zen Buddhism "enlightenment is equal to unenlightenment" all illustrate the principle of the cycle of skill and clumsy. The traditional Chinese philosophy is that "the clever is not fragile". Although the moon in the cold pond and the crow in the dead wood seem to be a coincidence, they actually present a desolate scene.

"Those who are intentional are far away, those who are unintentional are close to the truth"

I can turn things around and be at ease. If I am the master of all things in the world, I can freely change and use all things. There is no need to be too happy when you gain wealth and fame; if you lose your glory and fame, there is no need to be depressed or sad. Regardless of gains or losses, one should remain unmoved and remain at ease between heaven and earth. This kind of life uses heaven and earth as a vast playing field.
