In nature, heaven, earth and people correspond. Zhuangzi Sheng Da said: "Heaven and earth are the parents of all things." The Book of Changes emphasizes the way of three talents, juxtaposes heaven, earth and man, and puts man at the center, which shows the importance of man's position.
Heaven has heaven, and heaven lies in "starting everything"; Where there is land, there is a road, and there is a road to the land because "everything is born." People not only have the way of others, but also have the function of "being everything".
Heaven says yin and yang, tunnel says rigidity and softness, and humanity says benevolence and righteousness. Although heaven, earth and people have their own ways, they are corresponding and interrelated. This is not only a relationship of "identity and correspondence", but also an internal generative relationship and realization principle. The way of heaven and earth is the principle of generation, and the way of man is the principle of realization, both of which are indispensable.

Honesty: The Doctrine of the Mean holds that the spiritual entity "honesty" plays a role in transforming everything: "Honesty is self-nature, and Taoism is self-nature. Honest people, at the end of the matter, do not care if they are sincere. "
Good: It must be the best. The third chapter of the biography is only "incisive as a measure, polished as a mill." If it is cut, it can be said that it is good, and it must be discussed. This is the best; If it is cut, it can be said to be good, and it must be ground to the best.
