Features: The essence of "yin-rigidity" lies in: showing gentleness to others while winning through cunning. It teaches people to lower their hearts and use strategies, avoiding direct confrontation with opponents. The characteristics and functions of strategy are to move a finger and move a thousand pounds, to win through cleverness, to win with fewer numbers, and to win with weakness. Throughout history, those successful strategies were all hidden and reclusive before implementation, pretending to be weak to steady, confuse, and paralyze the opponent, then seizing the opportunity to use corresponding tactics to win. If you spend a few days reading this wisdom book written in popular and interesting language, you will gain a deep understanding of the yin-rigidity essence of Laozi's strategy. Of course, if you have the interest, foundation, and time to read the original classical Chinese of Laozi, that's great. His "Tao Te Ching" is only over 5,000 characters and can be read in half an hour. But to derive rich and exquisite thoughts and sentiments from this book, it requires more time—because this book is the crystallization of hundreds of days of diligent work by the highly educated Dr. Lin Xu.
