Once, the ancient sage Confucius specifically traveled to ask Laozi about the 'ultimate Dao.' Laozi instructed Confucius to fast and bathe, then said:
'Human life is extremely brief, like a white steed galloping past a narrow crevice, fleeting in an instant. Death is the transformation of a person from tangible to intangible, but the Dao, meaning spirit, can remain in the world forever.'
