Excerpt from the original text: "Qu Quan, Fei Zhi, Yu Ying, I am new, I get less, and I am confused." It is based on the sage holding one for the world. You can't see yourself, so be clear; Self-evident, so obvious; Do not cut yourself, have merit; Not proud, so long. The husband does not dispute, and the world cannot contend with it. The so-called "happiness" in ancient times is not empty! Sincerely return.
Bending can be preserved, but it is straight under pressure; The depression is filled and renewed; The single was thus obtained, and the variety show was so confusing. Therefore, people who have the means adhere to this principle as the paradigm of world affairs. If you don't praise yourself, you can show it; If you are not self-righteous, you can distinguish right from wrong; If you don't boast, you can get credit; Not arrogant, so it can last long. Only with an indisputable attitude can no one in the world compete with it. In ancient times, the so-called "compromise will save", how can it be empty talk? It is actually achievable.
