Features: The content of this book includes Zhuangzi's "Free and Easy Wandering": "The supreme person has no self, the divine person has no achievement, the sage has no fame." The supreme person, the divine person, and the sage are all ideal personalities in Zhuangzi's philosophy. Here, "the supreme person is just an ordinary person," emphasizing that the supreme person is also an ordinary person, as long as one cultivates their nature, they can align with the heavens. The "Caigen Tan" emphasizes the concept of "ordinariness" and focuses more on the behavioral admonition of "silence is gold," urging people not to seek the spotlight. The "Lower Commentary of the Changes" of the "I Ching" states: "The way of heaven and earth is sincerity. The way of the sun and moon is sincerity in brightness. The movement of the world is sincerity in unity." Heaven and earth are silent and solemn, yet they generate all things. From the phenomena of change, one can discern the unchanging truth.
