The characteristics both of heaven and man are dealt with more fully by Chuang than by Lao . In the conclusion of his eleventh book, for instance, he says:—“What do we mean by Tao ? There is the Tao (or Way) of heaven, and there is the Tao of man. Acting without action, and yet attracting all honour, is the Way of heaven. Doing and being embarrassed thereby is the Way of man. The Way of heaven should play the part of lord; the Way of man, the part of minister. The two are far apart, and should be distinguished from each other.”
