First: the Supreme Ultimate (Tai Chi)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>is the One Stroke.Understand this. The Supreme Ultimate is the One Stroke. Although later, in the Song Dynasty, they elaborated with &#8220;the Limitless (Wu Ji) gives rise to the Supreme Ultimate (Tai Ji),&#8221; this distinction is ultimately meaningless. In essence, Tai Ji and Wu Ji signify the same concept. This One Stroke is writing \u2013 it is the fundamental mode of Chinese expression. This One Stroke is profoundly significant! Once you truly grasp this One Stroke, everything else follows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Because the Eastern mode of expression is this One Stroke. It signifies the opening of heaven and earth, the great division that shapes human existence. &#8220;One Stroke opens heaven and earth&#8221; means the Supreme Ultimate gives rise to Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang give rise to the Two Forms (Liang Yi). The Two Forms give rise to the Four Images (Si Xiang). The Four Images give rise to the Eight Trigrams (Ba Gua). The Eight Trigrams determine fortune and misfortune (Ji Xiong). Fortune and misfortune give rise to the Great Enterprise (Da Ye).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Did you notice the verb used throughout? It&#8217;s exclusively &#8220;gives rise to&#8221; (\u751f, sh\u0113ng \u2013 to generate, to produce, to bring forth). Isn&#8217;t it? Absolutely not like how we speak today: &#8220;The Supreme Ultimate forges Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang forge the Two Forms. The Two Forms forge the Four Images. The Four Images forge the Eight Trigrams. The Eight Trigrams forge fortune and misfortune. Fortune and misfortune forge the Great Enterprise.&#8221; Do we hear it used like that? This is modern usage \u2013 constantly &#8220;forging&#8221; or &#8220;fabricating&#8221; (\u6253\u9020, d\u01cez\u00e0o). I am deeply wary of this term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Because what does &#8220;forging&#8221; imply? I&#8217;m from Sichuan. It means grabbing a hammer and a chisel, clanging away to shape something by force. This process is invariably impatient, utilitarian, and even tainted with violence. See? If I &#8220;forge&#8221; this piece of small regular script (xiaokai) today, the result would be mere craftsmanship \u2013 devoid of life. Anything &#8220;forged&#8221; becomes a mere project, like catching runoff water from the eaves. It inherently involves force, lacking tenderness or care.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Culture needs excavation. It needs excavation! We must find the seed of culture. We must find the root of culture. We must find the originating point of culture. This requires patience, nurturing, watering, and cultivation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Consider the phrase &#8220;education&#8221; (\u6559\u80b2, ji\u00e0oy\u00f9). In a sense, today we only use the &#8220;\u6559&#8221; (ji\u00e0o \u2013 to teach, to instruct). See? &#8220;\u6559&#8221; is imparting knowledge, an external &#8220;pouring in.&#8221; But what is &#8220;\u80b2&#8221; (y\u00f9 \u2013 to nurture, to foster)?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Why is a teacher eternally likened to a gardener? A gardener&#8217;s work is precisely about tender care, watering, and cultivation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><div class=\"floating-menu float-menu-1 notranslate\"><ul class=\"fm-bar\"><li class=\"fm-item-1-0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/recommend.php\" target=\"_self\" ><div class=\"fm-icon\"><i class=\"fab fa-youtube \"><\/i><\/div><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I will focus on just two points.
