The arts are the practical application of the Way. In Daoism, the Five Arts—mountain, medicine, fate, physiognomy, and divination—are often used to help the world and guide people, thus cultivating three thousand virtues and deeds. From the moment I was born, it seemed my destiny was entwined with Daoism. By a twist of fate, I gained insight into the secrets of the Dao, and from that moment on, I embarked upon a path shrouded in mystery and wonder, a journey unknown to others, filled with adventure, enigma, and events beyond imagination.
