"On the Avenue" said: Between heaven and earth, people are the most precious; The busiest and fastest person, when also; But after a long time, it is also. The general meaning of this sentence is that between heaven and earth, that is, in the space where people live, human beings are the most intelligent and spiritual individuals; But the fastest flow between days is time; But the most lasting thing was then. It can be seen from this sentence that Zhang Sanfeng advocated the practice of Dan Dao.
On the understanding of Tao, Zhang Sanfeng studied under Chen Tuan, the son of Fu Yaozi. He thinks that the Tao is visible when there is no Tao. The space where people live is a harmonious society of Yin and Yang, and Tao can explain the growth and derivation of all things.
Zhang Sanfeng takes the baby as an example in "On the Avenue", aiming at explaining that the next generation is derived from the combination of yin and yang, which is the law of nature and the law of Tao. Zhang Sanfeng also stressed that with the development of human beings, there are more and more selfish desires. In order to rack one's brains to find ways to realize the pursuit of selfish desires, people empty their brains every day, and their biological clocks are completely disrupted, and their bodies and minds are not well rested. Over time, their anger is empty. The emptiness of qi leads to the deterioration of physical condition day by day. In this case, health preservation is a difficult problem.
