#Thoreau 's quote from #NeilPostman has be thinking of the #WellSweep story by #ChuangTzu or ##ChuangTze #荘子
> What others discard, he champions. But the last person to be a Confucianist is Ku Hung-ming. He is more native to Chuang-tze and Taoism than to Confucianism.
> A rebel who preaches monarchism; a romantic who accepts Confucianism as his philosophy of life; an autocrat who is proud to wear the sign of slavery – the queue: it is this contradiction in Ku Hung-ming that makes him one of the most interesting figures in modern China.

Il #Tao non può annoverarsi tra l'#esistente, non potrebbe essere #nonesistente... E il Tao trascende l'#esistenza #materiale. Non può essere comunicato né con le #parole, né col #silenzio. La sua #natura #trascendentale può essere appresa in quello stato, che, non verbale, non è neppure silenzio.
