xīng zé refers to a fast-flowing and choppy river. In ancient poems and songs, it is often used to describe the momentum and surging of rivers, and also to compare people's ambitions and pursuits. In "Shuidiao Tou Swimming", Xin Qiji once described the happiness in his heart like this: "There is infinite talent in the world, and a sad picture cannot be drawn. Looking at the tears of heroes through the ages, I feel sad. "
In addition to often appearing as an image in poetry, Xingze is also a common place name, which is often found near rivers. For example, Xingze Town, Yunnan Province, China, located in the north of Dianchi Lake, is named after the Jinsha River, Lancang River, Tuojiang River and Lutuo River. In Xingze Town, you can enjoy the magnificent river view, taste the local specialties and feel the unique folk customs.
In Taoism, Xing Ze is a mysterious cultivation method, which is usually considered as the highest state of keeping the Tao. It is said that only a Taoist who has mastered the way of rejuvenating Ze can truly control himself, transcend worldly affairs and achieve true freedom. It is difficult to explain the method of prospering Ze. Only by strictly teaching and practicing with Taoist masters can we understand the mystery. In traditional culture, Xingze not only has the meaning in the real world, but also has the philosophical meaning of transcending self.
