Shangshan is like water, is an idiom that comes from Lao Tzu: "Shangshan is like water, and water is good for all things without dispute, and it is evil to all people (wù), so it is more than the Tao." It means that the supreme character is like water, and it is not contested by all things without competing for fame and fortune. Do not see with the world in general, do not compete with the world for a while, and be soft but can tolerate the world's open-mindedness and temperament. In Taoist doctrine, water is the best and softest; the water is dense, the micro is silent, the giant is turbulent; it has no quarrel with people but it contains all things. Water has the virtue of nourishing all things, it enables all things to obtain its benefits, without contradictions or conflicts with all things.
