Laozi said: goodness is like water, and water conservancy is used by all things. Kong Ziyun: Water has five virtues, because it keeps flowing and can popularize all living things, as if it had virtues; Flow must be downward, not backward, nor square or long, it must be rational, as if it were just; Vast, as if there is a road; It seems brave to flow through hundreds of mountains without fear; Placement is not uneven, as if obeying the law; See how much, don't shave, it seems to be upright;
Pervasive, as if penetrating; Originated in the west, as if determined; Take it out and put it back. Everything is clean and seems to be good at change.
