Daily Chinese Proverb: Let it Be

Posted by Charlie @ Discovering Mandarin Wednesday, 19 August 2009 3 comments

This is a proverb that Daoists take seriously and the French call Laissez-faire, which in English literally means "Let it be". Leave things to their own devices, get on with life and let everything be as it will be, without stressing.


顺其自然
shùn​qí​zì​rán​
Let things take their own course
(Without external influence)




无为 (wú​wéi​) means very similiar and literally 'Inaction' and is used most often within Daoism.
