Water is always on the run like this but never lost in its course; the moon always waxes and wanes but never out of its sphere. When viewed from a changing perspective, nothing in this universe can remain unchanged even within a blink of an eye, but when looked at from an unchanging viewpoint, everything conserves itself, and so do we. Therefore, what’s in them to be admired? Besides, in this universe, everything has its rightful owner. If something does not belong to you, you shall not even have a bit of it. However, the fresh breeze over this river and the bright moon above the mountains are exceptions. If you can hear it, it is a sound to you; if you can see it, it is a view. It never ends and is never exhausted. It is the infinite treasure that nature has for us to enjoy. 』 - Qian Chibifu, Su Shi Genre Classical
