「Then Peiwoh changed the key and sang of love.
THe forest swayed like an ardent swain deep lost in thought.
On high, like a haughty maiden, swept a cloud bright and fair; but passing, trailed long shadows on the ground, black like despair.
Again the mode was changed; Peiwoh sang of war, of clashing steel and trapling steeds.
And in the harp arose the tempest of Lungmen, the dragon rode the lightning, the thunderimg avalanche crashed through the hills.
In ecstasy the Celestrial monaech asked Peiwoh wherein lay the secret of his victory.
"Sire, he replied, "others have failed because they sang but of themselves.
I left the hwrp to choose its theme, and knew not truly whether the harp had been Peiwoh or Peiwoh were the harp."」 (From the Book of Tea-Art Appreciation, p.77, Charles E Tuttle Co., Rutland, Vermont, Tokyo, Japan)
The essential philosophy of oriental and/or Japan people is that human being must resonance with nature, but not to fight against nature.
