   ① Only by going through the vicissitudes of life and experiencing all kinds of human emotions can we achieve the great road. The writing is concise, the plot is compact, and the style is more like the novels of the past. It is a rare fine article. ② Only by being born to practice Taoism, entering the world to save people, seeing all the joys and sorrows, and experiencing the sufferings of the world can you strengthen your true heart and achieve the great road. ③ Read the Taoist scriptures, take the Taoist examination, and enter the Taoist academy. This familiar feeling reminds me of the sage of Confucianism and Taoism. Good books can also be written using routines. [Please pay attention] The book shortage is very annoying.
