The Crown Prince Hui summoned his advisors to discuss how to say that the father king had abandoned the sword comparison, and Crown Prince Hui also promised: whoever could persuade the father king to change his mind would be rewarded with a thousand gold.

This is a huge fortune. Everyone wants to get this fortune, but no one dares to get it. If mishandled, it could cost one's head.

When everyone was at a loss, one strategist stood up and said, "I nominate someone who can accomplish this important task."

When everyone asked for this person's name, the recommender said, "Zhuangzi."

"Who is Zhuangzi?"

"Zhuangzi is well-versed and talented; in his twenties he once roamed the cliffs and toured Ba Shan and Chu water. Between Ba Shan and Chu water, he gained much wisdom and spirituality.................."

The prosperity of Chu Guo lies in its mountains and waters....................

The beauty of all the mountains and waters under heaven is also found in Ba Shan and Chu water................

The spiritual essence of Chu Guo is also found between those mountains and waters.....................

There, mountains overlap and waters repeat; there are also dark willows and bright flowers. The mountains and waters conceal limitless spiritual essence. Throughout history, many great figures have, in some mysterious way, been connected to Ba Shan and Chu water......................

Our country's first great Romantic poet, Quyuan, wrote the earth-shattering "Encountering Sorrow" by the waters of Canglang; the Chu Ci he established has influenced generation after generation..................................................

The former residence of the Tang dynasty great poet Li Bai is —— Mian Prefecture, Changlong County, Qinglian Township, Manpo Ferry in Western Shu; there the mountains are bright and the waters clear, the clouds rise and the marshes gleam —— the water is that limpid, the mountain is that beautiful.

Especially that water, which nourishes people; looking afar, it seems like rising clouds and mist, the clouds dark green as if about to rain, the water pale and giving off vapor, thunderclaps and lightning, hills collapsing and erupting. The stone of the cave heaven? — it opens with a rumble. The azure immensity is boundless, the sun and moon shine upon the gold and silver terrace. Rainbows serve as clothing, phoenixes as horses; the lords of the clouds come down in throngs. Tigers play the zither, phoenixes drive chariots; the immortals stand thick as hemp..................................................

. Heaven and water are connected, mountains and clouds meet; clouds, water, and mountains merge into one indivisible whole; from afar, the mountains are green and the waters clear; up close, miscellaneous trees bloom; some of the beauty is elusive, some is empty....................................................

Zhuangzi once wandered through the mountains and waters of Chu Guo, which possess the spirit and temperament of wind gods; such mountains and such waters made him, already wise, even wiser; immersed in such bright mountains and beautiful waters, Zhuangzi attained the realm of 'no-self' and 'no-ego', enabling him to regard all things — right and wrong, big and small, good and evil, beautiful and ugly — as a unity, and to pursue absolute freedom amidst the green mountains and clear waters................................................................................
