1. Tranquility and Zhiyuan first came from the "Huainanzi·Zhushu Xun" written by Liu An in the early Western Han Dynasty: "Therefore, without being indifferent, there is no clear virtue, without tranquility, there is no way to reach far, without being tolerant, there is no way to be both inclusive." If you are not kind, you will not be able to care for others, and if you are not fair and upright, you will not be able to control it." Meaning: Therefore, without indifference, there is no clear virtue; without tranquility and humility, one cannot be extremely far-reaching; it is not that generosity cannot cover it; only kindness cannot be inclusive; it is not justice that cannot make decisions.

2. Tranquility and Zhiyuan: Now is an idiom, pronounced as níng jìng zhì yuǎn. It means to have a calm and quiet mind, not to be influenced by distracting thoughts, and to meditate and reflect quietly, so that you can set (achieve) lofty goals.

3. Synonyms: indifferent to desires, high-spirited and honest, indifferent to fame and fortune.

4. Antonyms: eager for quick success.
