On the Essence of Things
The ancient good worker, who observes the nature of all things, and achieves their essence out of reason. Everything created is for the perfect good, hoping for the perfection of things, so as to be in line with the Tao.

If a worker wants to do something good, he must first use his tools. And the choice of materials and tools is related to the foundation of things. Carefully select, remove the coarse and extract the fine, and choose the good materials and use them. This is the foundation of success. If the materials are not suitable, the work will be doubled and the work will be half done. Although he tried his best, it is difficult to achieve delicacy.

However, only good materials are obtained, which is not enough to be refined. The skills of work are also the key. Craftsmen should be familiar with all kinds of techniques, and they should be handy. From the fineness of the chopping to the ingenuity of the carving, it is necessary to strive for perfection, and in the slightest, to show the full power.

As for the production, the heart must be focused and the gods must be condensed. There must be no slack, nor can there be impulsive thoughts. Every process is regarded as the key to achieving high-quality products, like walking on thin ice in the abyss. In this way, you can inject your efforts into one object and one object, so that it can glow with unique brilliance.

When it comes to the formation of things, it still needs to be tested with the accuracy of refinement. Looking at its shape, it should be in line with the rules, not losing its elegance; looking at its quality, it should be tough and dense, without flaws. The appearance and the inside are the same, and the form and spirit are both, so it can be called a refined thing.

A refined object is not only beautiful and moving, but also practical. It can not only please the eyes and ears, but also be conducive to daily use. Such utensils have been passed down in the world, and can be a model for future generations, enlightening future generations, and inheriting them endlessly.

Therefore, if you want to be refined in things, you must have good materials, fine skills, specialized mind, and strict experience. Only by having both of the four can you achieve perfection and achieve exquisite things.
