This Chinese character is pronounced ‘hé’ in Pinyin and means harmonious
and coordinated. Through the diagram of the supreme ultimate (Tai Ji) and perfectly
fused and harmonious diagram system, we sense the original meaning of ‘he’ in
a more intuitionistic way. It is the circle in the diagram of the supreme ultimate
(Tai Ji), and it is the harmonious object of contradiction, which keeps the
unity of oppositeness of male and female principle of the fish shape picture.

of ‘hé’

42. Mind
The Way bears sensation,
Sensation bears memory,
Sensation and memory bear abstraction,
And abstraction bears all the world;
Each thing in the world bears feeling and doing,
And, imbued with mind, harmony with the Way.

"Who loses harmony opposes nature";
This is the root of my teaching.

add an inscription such as a special wish or salutation ( as like the red
line part ).

It means Harmoniousness is most precious.

Disabled artist, Mr. Wang, has sat in a wheelchair
more than 30 years after a catastrophic accident during fieldwork left him paralyzed
from the waist down. Master Wang was gracefully moving and pausing his brush
that can be mesmerizing, and there is one of his artworks on display here.
When I first saw a person without hands who
could not only write but also became a good calligrapher, I was shocked.
