"The mother-in-law is always quiet, the rivers compete for eyes without flowing, the wild horses float without moving, and the sun and the moon are endless." Why is this sentence sophistry?
"It's strange, the dancing orchids are always quiet, the rivers are competing for eyes, the wild horses are floating, and the weather is not clear." This sentence belongs to metaphysical invariance, only acknowledging stillness and denying movement; For example, Zhi Nuo's "the arrow doesn't move" means that he only recognizes stillness and denies motion.

This sentence comes from the famous saying of Seng Zhao, a monk in the Eastern Jin Dynasty in China. The main meaning is: the strong wind blows without moving, the river runs without moving, the wild horse rushes without moving, and the sun and the moon do not change. It's really weird.

Extended data:

Seng Zhao's technical method of dealing with time is unique, that is, dividing time indefinitely, which stops the time pause of "flowing" and "flying" in common experience. With this method of dividing time infinitely, Seng Zhao easily proved the existence and eternity of infinity and eternity. This method has been adopted by many Chinese and foreign philosophers, including Zhuangzi, Guo Xiang and Zhi Nuo.

Infinity is always the ultimate and unremitting pursuit of mankind. This method may help to prove the existence of infinity. In this sense, their view of time is useful, although it may not make sense logically, because in the unity of opposites between motion and stillness, in the discontinuity and continuity of time, it is biased to emphasize only any one of them.
