Confucius in The Analects of Confucius said: Listen, boy! Clear and transparent is enough, and turbidity is enough.
"Mencius" Mencius said: There is a song of a willing ox:' The clear water of surging waves can lead me to tassel; The turbid water in the rough waves can be used to drown my feet. "
Qu Yuan's Fisherman: "The Fisherman laughed and left. The song says:' The clear water of surging waves can lead me to tassel; The water in the rough waves is muddy and can lick my feet. "So I left without saying anything."

The blue water is crystal clear, and you can lick my tassels;
The turbid water in the rough waves can be used to drown my feet.
Surging clear water can wash away my hat tassels; Turbid water in the rough waves can wash my feet.

After Qu Yuan was exiled, in a conversation with the fisherman, the fisherman advised him to "keep pace with the times" instead of "looking ahead and looking back" and asking for trouble. Qu Yuan said that he would rather die by throwing himself into the river than exposing his innocent body to worldly dust. The fisherman left and sang the following songs: the water in the rough waves is clear, so I can wash my hat tassels; Turbid water in the rough waves can wash my feet. This still means "over time". In the eyes of fishermen, life need not be too lofty. The world is clean and honest, and you can come out as an official; The world is turbid and can rise and fall with the world. As for "thinking deeply and doing high", there is no need to end up in exile. The dialogue between Qu Yuan and the fisherman shows two philosophies of life.
Solution: Accept the clarity and turbidity of surging water. Wash your face with clear water and your feet with turbid water. A, "a gentleman, in case of governance officer, in case of chaos is hidden. Second, warn us that if you are clean, others will use you to dress up your clothes. If you give up on yourself and get muddy water, others will take you to wash your feet.
