Between heaven and humanity lies the mountain.
In Chinese tradition, the mountain is the place where heaven seems to descend toward man, and man ascends toward heaven.

From this encounter emerged one of the fundamental ideas of Chinese thought: Tian Ren He Yi — the communion between heaven and humanity.
That discovery is an art.
