Life is like a huge dye vat, full of vivid colors. A person who once appeared pure and simple may gradually be colored by the world after staying in it for a long time. When we are born, everything is pure and flawless. Nurtured by maternal love, we have no selfish desires or dark thoughts, like a bud waiting to bloom, growing under sunshine and rain. This reflects the idea that human nature is inherently good.
A calm mind brings clarity, while chaos leads to confusion. The more you try to figure things out, the more puzzled you become.

Accepting what comes and settling where you are may be the way to live.
The Spring and Autumn and Warring States period was an era of constant conflict, abundant talent, and flourishing schools of thought. The Tang Dynasty, on the other hand, was a time of peace and prosperity, dazzling brilliance, and continuous innovation.

People who seem carefree are often the most sensitive. Emotions are buried deep inside, and even a ray of sunshine, a familiar scene, or a passing glance can trigger unexpected waves of emotion.
A life without hardship is immature; a life without reflection is mediocre; a life without pursuit is empty; a life without vitality is poor; and a life without vision is shallow.
