The tenth face

The destiny of heaven is called nature, following nature is called the way, and cultivating the way is called teaching. The way cannot be separated for a moment, and it is not the way if it can be separated. Therefore, the gentleman is cautious about what he does not see and fearful of what he does not hear. Nothing is more hidden than the hidden, and nothing is more obvious than the subtle, so the gentleman is cautious when he is alone. When joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are not expressed, it is called the middle; when they are expressed in moderation, it is called harmony; the middle is the great foundation of the world; harmony is the way of the world. When the middle and harmony are achieved, heaven and earth are in their proper places, and all things are nurtured.

Why do you hang yourself?

Due to the stone accident, the imperial court collapsed. Wen Zhongwu and Yu Wenkang went to Tao Gong to ask for help. Tao Gong said: "Emperor Su Zu's instructions were not heard, and Su Jun was in rebellion. The cause was caused by Yu. Killing his brothers will not be enough to apologize to the world." At that time, Yu was behind Wen's boat and heard about it. He was worried and didn't know what to do. On the day of separation, Wen advised Yu to meet Tao, but Yu hesitated and did not go. Wen said, "I know all about the river dogs. You just need to meet them, and you will have nothing to worry about!" Tao changed his opinion of Yu at the first sight of his demeanor and appearance. After talking and feasting all day, their love for each other grew stronger.
