Man’s determination to conquer nature is a famous saying of Xunzi. This is Confucian thought, which is a different school from Taoism. Of course, it will put forward different views of heaven and man, otherwise it would not be called a hundred schools of thought contending. There is no contradiction between the saying that man conforms to the heaven and the earth and that man can conquer nature. The Taoist teaching of inaction is truly inaction. Lao Tzu wants to achieve omnipotence through inaction. What he means is to go with the flow, seize the opportunity at the right time, and stop with stillness. When the opportunity finally comes, you still have to do it. Doing things does not violate the laws of heaven and earth. When people do things, they can use the Confucian spirit of knowing that they cannot do it (this means that man can conquer heaven). Taoism and the I Ching combine this The words are to warn people to respect the laws of nature and keep pace with the times. Just like what is said in the Book of Changes, heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement. This means that man can definitely conquer heaven. But on the other hand, people are warned to follow the principles of heaven and earth, and a gentleman should be virtuous. This is to conform to the heaven and the earth.
