In the Analects of Confucius, the world is the softest and the strongest. What do you mean?

"The softest thing in the world, the strongest thing in the world" means that the softest thing in the world can control the hardest thing in the world. This sentence is not from the Analects of Confucius, but from Laozi's Tao Te Ching, in Chapter 43.

The world is the softest and the strongest, and there is nothing in it.

The softest thing in the world can control the hardest thing in the world. Without the energy of the body, you can freely shuttle between substances seamlessly.

Extended data:

"The softest thing in the world, the strongest thing in the world" means that many people interpret the softest thing in the world as something concrete in form, such as air and water. Actually, air and water can't ride the strongest thing in the world.

Because water can penetrate the stone, but not by itself. If the resistance is large enough, the water will be subdued, such as building dams to resist floods.

The strongest in the world-the strongest, represents any tangible force. Avenue is characterized by softness, so the hard one belongs to a kind of power that runs counter to it. As the saying goes, the strong die and the weak live. Softness is better than strength, which is what I want to express.
