| 摘 要： | IN the sixth century B.C. Confucius visited the philosopher Laozi and had a philosophical dialogue on the banks of the Yellow River, later recorded by his disciples in The Analects of Confucius. Watching the running waters, Confucius was quoted as saying, in a tone of helpless regret, ＂Things elapse day and night just like this the running waters].＂ To which Laozi replied, ＂Men live between heaven and earth, as an organic part of them. Man is born of Nature, just like heaven and earth... They all begin and end in accordance with the law of Nature.＂
