Creative background:
This article is selected from the fifth chapter of Liezi Tang Wen. It tells the story of Yugong digging a mountain despite difficulties and finally moving it away by the Emperor of Heaven. It also shows that under the condition of extremely underdeveloped productive forces at that time, people can only fantasize about conquering nature with the help of a god with superhuman strength.
Liezi's fable "Fools Move Mountains" preaches the idea of human equality: those who work hard are not necessarily smart, and those who work hard are not necessarily stupid. At the same time, Liezi also helped Buddhism to enter the Tao, melted the Buddhist thought from the west and bridged the gap between Buddhism and Taoism.
