Great virtue is like water

[Interpretation]

Laozi said, "Good is like water", "Water is the good of all things, and it is the evil of all people, so it is a few words". What I'm actually talking about here is the way to be a man, that is, to be a man should nourish everything like water, but never compete with everything. This kind of character is closest to Tao.

Good as water. Water is good for all things without dispute, and evil for all, so it is a few words. Living in a good place, kind-hearted, kind-hearted, good at words, good at governance, good at doing things, good at dealing with people. The husband does not dispute, so he has no worries. -Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching

The beauty of Nan Gezi also lies in her design concept: being as good as water.
