Enlightenment can be reached while one remains playful.
遊戲三昧
One way to settle worldly affairs is not to try to cleanse the world, but to
submit oneself to the dust of crowed so as to share its outlook.
和光同塵

萬世治平之書，經筵當以進讀，科場當以取士。
Li Chih has moved to T'ung-chou, less than twenty miles from the capital. If
he should enter the capital, he would mislead and poison the urban population
as he did in Ma-ch'eng.
(李贄)移至通州。通州距都下僅四十里，倘一入都門，招致蠱惑，又為麻城之續。
"Is it painful?"
"No pain."
"Monk, why did you cut yourself like that?"
"What else could a man over seventy do?"
問：「和尚痛否？」
答：「不痛。」
問：「和尚何自割？」
答：「七十老翁何所求！」
The year 1587 may seem to be insignificant; nevertheless, it is evident that
by that time the limit for the Ming dynasty had already been reached. It no
longer mattered whether the ruler was conscientious or irresponsible, whether
his chief counsellor was enterprising or conformist, whether the generals were
resourceful or incompetent, whether the civil officials were honest or co-
rrupt, or whether the leading thinkers were radical or conservative - in the
end they all failed to reach fulfillment. Thus our story has a sad conclusion.
The annals of the Year of the Pig must go down in history as a chronicle of

一五八七年，是為萬曆十五年，歲次丁亥，表面上似乎是四海昇平，無事可記，實際上我
們的大明帝國卻已經走到了它發展的盡頭。在這個時候，皇帝的勵精圖治或者宴安耽樂，
首輔的獨裁或者調和，高級將領的富於創造或者習於苟安，文盲的廉潔奉公或者貪污舞弊
，思想家的極端進步或者絕對保守，最後的結果，都是無分善惡，統統不能在事業上取得
有意義的發展，有的身敗，有的名裂，還有的人則身敗而兼名裂。
因此我們的故事只好在這裡作悲劇性的結束。萬曆丁亥年的年鑒，是為歷史上一部失
敗的總記錄。
