Features: The central ideas of the Yongjia School of Thought are threefold: First, it opposes empty talk and emphasizes practical achievements, stating, "If there is no practical benefit, then morality and righteousness are merely empty words." Second, it offers innovative insights into the relationship between the Dao and things, saying, "Where things are, the Dao is also there. Things have an end, but the Dao is endless." Third, it despises the so-called "Dao tradition" of Confucian scholars and values "broadening the people." Within Traditional Chinese Medicine, there is also a "Yongjia School," which is the "Yongjia Medical School" mentioned in this book.
