These elements emerge and grow from the inner life force of our writing, becoming a vivid, living reality. Why? Let me distinguish between two concepts: assignments and artworks. What I often ask you to complete are assignments. Since they are assignments, they must be finished within a set timeframe. Shouldn\u2019t the primary focus be on meeting the task\u2019s objectives? But what about artworks? Can the task\u2019s objectives be the main priority for an artwork? Absolutely not. Artworks embody creativity and vitality. What is the source of this creative vitality? It lies in discovering the origin of our life. The I Ching articulates this clearly. Take the Qian hexagram, for example. The hexagram statement reads, \u201cYuan, Heng, Li, Zhen.\u201d What does \u201cYuan\u201d mean? It is the same \u201cYuan\u201d as in \u201cYuandan\u201d (New Year\u2019s Day). Why is it the first word in the hexagram statement? The Wenyan Zhuan (Commentary on the Words of the Text) explains: \u201cYuan is the chief of goodness.\u201d \u201cYuan\u201d signifies the origin of creation. Note this: wherever \u201cYuan\u201d appears, it represents the beginning. Before the adoption of the Western Gregorian calendar, \u201cYuan\u201d in China referred to the first day of the Lunar New Year, called \u201cYuandan.\u201d Later, as we adopted the Western calendar, \u201cYuandan\u201d was repurposed for January 1st. Thus, the first day of the year is now called \u201cYuandan.\u201d In reality, the Lantern Festival falls on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. \u201cYuan is the chief of goodness.\u201d But what is goodness? Today, we often casually say that goodness means someone is kind-hearted or virtuous, right? That\u2019s true, but it doesn\u2019t capture the root; it reduces goodness to a mere attribute. Goodness is the origin of life. \u201cAt the beginning of life, human nature is inherently good.\u201d This is life itself\u2014it must grow, mustn\u2019t it? \u201cYuan is the chief of goodness.\u201d The highest form of goodness is life itself. Those who cherish life are the truest embodiments of goodness. For instance, consider those online who resort to extreme measures for clicks, like the cat abuse incident. They chase traffic, but their actions fundamentally contradict the origin of life.<\/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>Especially for those of us engaged in calligraphy, it i [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[236],"class_list":["post-6145","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-doorm","tag-236"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6145","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6145"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6145\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6146,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6145\/revisions\/6146"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6145"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6145"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
