Interpretation of inaction: governing by inaction; Governance: governance. Do nothing and the world will be ruled. Originally, when Shun was in power, he did not make any changes according to Yao's thinking. Later, it generally refers to reforming the people with morality.

"The Analects of Confucius" Zhongwei Linggong: "Doing nothing, then smooth sailing?"

As a political principle, "inaction" appeared in the late Spring and Autumn Period. It was Laozi who systematized "governing by doing nothing" into a theory. Everything they do as rulers will destroy the natural order, disturb the world and endanger the people. The rulers are required to govern by doing nothing, imitate nature and let the people develop freely. The theoretical basis of "governing by doing nothing" is "Tao", and the practical basis is to change "chaos" into "governance"; The main contents of "governing by doing nothing" are "doing nothing" and "governing by doing nothing", and the specific measures are "persuading the rulers to interfere less" and "making the people ignorant and have no desire"

Therefore, doing nothing is not completely idle and boring, or seems to have done nothing, but actually doing everything well.
