Zhuangzi’s: If the world is Tao, a sage will be born; if there is no Tao, a sage will be born. At this time, I am only exempted from punishment.

If there is a way in the world, a saint can achieve great things; if there is no way in the world, a saint can only save his life. In this era, one can only avoid execution. Happiness is as light as a feather, I don't know how to bear it; disaster is as heavy as the earth, I don't know how to avoid it.

From "Zhuangzi. Nei Chapter. The Fourth World of Humanity", original text:

Confucius was acquainted with Chu. Chu Kuang took his disciples to visit his gate and said: "Feng Xi Feng Xi, how can it be virtuous? The future life cannot be waited for, and the past life cannot be pursued. If there is a way in the world, how can a saint be born? In this world, how can a saint be exempted from punishment? It's so important that you don't know how to avoid it. It's almost too late! It's almost too late to follow the sun. It doesn't hurt my walk, it doesn't hurt my feet. "
