Your phone is a library and archive held in the palm of your hand. What does Chapter 21 say? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;The appearance of great virtue follows the Tao alone. The Tao, as a thing, seems indistinct, seems unclear. So unclear! So indistinct! Yet within it lies form. So indistinct! So unclear! Yet within it lies substance. Profound and dark! Within it lies essence. This essence is utterly real\u2014within it lies truth.&#8221; <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I\u2019m reciting this not to boast about my memory, but to help us grasp the nature of &#8220;image.&#8221; The &#8220;image&#8221; (xi\u00e0ng) is chaotic, indistinct\u2014&#8221;seeming unclear, seeming indistinct.&#8221; In that haze, the mirage emerges: an illusion born of this ambiguity. &#8220;Within the haze lies form; within the blur lies substance.&#8221; Substance (w\u00f9) is the heart\/mind. When we speak of &#8220;substance,&#8221; we don\u2019t say &#8220;observe the image to grasp the image&#8221;\u2014instead, we &#8220;observe the concrete to capture the abstract.&#8221; Isn\u2019t this how painting works? We observe the tangible to capture the essence. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Hence, &#8220;writing cannot exhaust words, words cannot exhaust meaning&#8221;\u2014so the sages created symbols (xi\u00e0ng) to convey meaning fully. Why use symbols to express meaning? This is profoundly insightful. Today, when we say, &#8220;Oh, it looks so real!&#8221;\u2014such praise hasn\u2019t truly captured art\u2019s essence. Descriptions like &#8220;exquisitely lifelike&#8221; or &#8220;vivid as life itself&#8221; aren\u2019t wrong, but when we apply them to mere technical likeness, we\u2019ve missed the point entirely. <\/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>Let me elaborate on how to understand this concept of &#038; [&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":[],"class_list":["post-6363","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-doorm"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6363","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=6363"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6363\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6364,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6363\/revisions\/6364"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6363"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6363"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6363"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
