English Version
The dragon soaring too high brings regret. This ancient wisdom warns against relentless pursuit without knowing when to pause.
Three brilliant strategists—Shang Yang of Qin, Wu Qi of Chu, and Wen Zhong of Yue—all met tragic ends. Despite their extraordinary talents, they failed to withdraw at the height of their glory. Their fates remind us that success without moderation often leads to downfall.
The sun reaches its zenith only to descend; the moon waxes only to wane. When we push beyond natural limits, fortune begins to reverse. True wisdom lies not just in advancing, but in knowing when to step back.
Life is like playing a stringed instrument—too tight, the string snaps; too loose, it produces no melody. The art of living well requires balance: striving with purpose, yet retreating with grace.
May we learn from the dragon's regret: to rise high, but also to know when to descend.
