   A Chronicle of Qingwu Town: The Ultimate Realm of All Things Returns to Truth. Qingwu Town is nestled among the vast mountains. Mornings are shrouded in mist, the pines whisper in the breeze, and evenings are painted with rosy hues on the streams and rocks. The townspeople do not pursue fame or fortune, nor are they attached to worldly vanities, yet they possess the most profound and insightful truths of the world. At the town's entrance stands an unlicensed teahouse, run by an unnamed gentleman dressed in simple clothes. Every day, he brews a pot of aged tea, sits quietly by the window, neither inquiring about the passing customers nor lamenting the passing years. The townspeople say that the gentleman understands the essence of all things, yet he rarely speaks. In the foothills to the west of the town lives Old Cypress, the forest ranger. He has guarded the forest for thirty years, never using an axe to prune branches, nor drawing mountain spring water to irrigate the seedlings. Each day, he simply walks a circle along the mountain path, observing the withering and flourishing of the vegetation, and letting the birds and beasts roost there. Someone asked him, "Plants need nurturing to flourish. Aren't you afraid the forest will become desolate by letting it grow so unchecked?" Old Bai smiled without answering, pointing to the forest floor—in spring, new bamboo shoots break through the rocks, undeterred by obstacles; in summer, ancient trees reach for the sky, their branches intertwined; in autumn, red leaves carpet the paths, fallen petals returning to their roots; in winter, plum blossoms brave the snow, their fragrance wafting in the air. Thirty years passed, and the forests outside the mountains withered from over-cultivation or became desolate from wanton logging. Only the forests of Qingwu Town grew ever more lush and profound, even attracting rare purple fungus and magpies to build their nests there. Later, a locust plague struck the area outside the mountains, destroying all the surrounding vegetation. But this forest remained unscathed, its roots deeply embedded, its branches and leaves resilient, surviving the locust swarms without a scratch. Old Bai gazed at the verdant mountains and sighed softly, "Plants and trees have their own nature. Following their natural course, without deliberately forcing them to grow or holding them back, they may seem 'not growing,' but in reality, they are the long, enduring growth rooted in the years. This is the ultimate state of all things." In the weaving workshop east of the town lived a woman named A Jin. Her brocades were renowned beyond the mountains, yet she never used brush or ink to copy patterns. Each day, she would sit by the stream, watching the clouds drift and the fish swim and the insects chirp, before returning home to pick up her needle and thread. Someone asked her to weave a "Spring Scene of Jiangnan." On the brocade she wove, willow branches seemed to droop, mist and rain seemed to disperse, and peach blossoms seemed to bloom. At first glance, it didn't seem like a real scene, but upon closer inspection, it possessed a more ethereal quality than the actual spring scenery of Jiangnan. Those who saw it felt a sense of clarity in their hearts, as if they were actually there. A wealthy merchant from outside the mountains commissioned her to weave a realistic peony painting, demanding distinct flowers and leaves, lifelike and vivid. Ah Jin wove for half a month, but only managed to create half a peony, its petals gently unfurling, its tips barely peeking out, as if still holding dew. The merchant, dissatisfied, exclaimed, "How can something so blurry be considered a masterpiece?" Ah Jin's fingertips traced the brocade: "The beauty of the peony lies not in the minute reproduction of its petals and leaves, but in the vitality of its full bloom and the anticipation of its budding state. It originates from what is seen in the mountains and fields, yet is not confined to the immediate reality. It is in this ambiguous state that the soul of the plants is hidden. This is the ultimate realm of brocade weaving, and the essence of all art." The merchant, puzzled, left. Later, this brocade depicting half a peony was treasured by a connoisseur of art, who said its spirit surpassed countless realistic masterpieces. In the town, the pharmacy "Qinghetang" was run by a man surnamed Su. He would gather only a few mountain herbs each day, drying them in his courtyard. The pharmacy never displayed a sign, nor did he pressure anyone to buy medicine. When someone sought his help, he would dispense the medicine as needed, charging no extra. When no one was seeking treatment, he would sit in front of the pharmacy, brewing tea and reading. In his spare time, he would tend to the herbs in his yard, living a leisurely and carefree life. Merchants from outside the mountains came to advise him: "Stock up on herbs and advertise widely to make a fortune." Manager Su shook his head: "Herbal medicine is for healing and saving lives. Stockpiling and raising prices goes against my principles, and forceful sales violate human relationships. Those who understand herbs know my herbs are authentic, and those who need medicine know I dispense according to their needs. There's no need for deliberate marketing; customers will naturally come. It may seem like I 'don't sell,' but it's actually a long-term way of exchanging sincerity for sincerity." He lived a leisurely life, yet never lacked a livelihood. His herbs were always in demand, and he lived a stable and carefree life, much more composed than the merchants from outside the mountains who toiled for profit. Someone asked him the secret to making money, and he pointed to the herbs in the courtyard: "The ultimate goal of making money is never to pursue fame and fortune, but to stay true to oneself, do one's duty, not be greedy, not be impatient, live a leisurely life, and profits will naturally follow. Why bother with worries and anxieties?" That autumn, enemy troops from the north pressed in, and the border town was in dire straits. The townspeople were all in a panic, but General Shen Ce, who had once guarded the border town, still practiced his sword every day in the open space outside the town, his expression calm. Someone advised him: "The enemy troops are numerous; it would be better to retreat into the deep mountains or ask for reinforcements." Shen Ce sheathed his sword: "The outcome of war is never about the number of soldiers or armor, but about the support of the people." He went to the enemy camp alone, without a single soldier, only carrying a few bags of grain seeds and herbs from Qingwu Town. The enemy soldiers were all poor people; years of war had left them short of food and their people displaced. Shen Ce said to the enemy leader, "You fight only for food and sustenance, but when war breaks out, the people suffer and the soldiers are wounded and killed. Even if you win, all that will be left is devastation. I bring seeds to teach you how to cultivate, and herbs to treat your injuries. Why risk your lives?" The enemy leader was unwilling to fight in the first place. Seeing Shen Ce's sincerity and thinking of his soldiers' longing for home and the people's suffering, he ordered a withdrawal the next day, and the border city was at peace without a fight. The townspeople praised his bravery, but Shen Ce said, "To subdue the enemy without fighting is not about strategy and calculation, but about understanding people's hearts, following their will, and turning hostility into friendship. This is the ultimate goal of war." In the town also lived a couple, Ahe and Ayan. They fell in love in their youth and vowed to stay together for life. However, Ayan had to go to study outside the mountains, while Ahe had to stay in the town to care for her elderly grandmother. They parted with tears in their eyes, making no vows of eternal love, only saying, "May we each be well and true to ourselves." Ayan devoted himself to scholarship outside the mountains, teaching and nurturing students, passing on the principles of Qingwu Town. Ahe stayed in the town to care for her grandmother, cultivate wasteland, grow crops and vegetables, and help the poor. Years later, Ayan returned home. Both had graying temples. They never mentioned their past love, but silently supported each other. Ahe brewed tea, Ayan read books, and in their spare time, they cared for the town's children and helped their neighbors. Someone asked them, "Having not seen each other for so many years, don't you miss the old feelings?" Ahe smiled faintly, "Young love is the involuntary attraction of the heart, but after the years have settled, we understand that true love is never about entanglement and restraint, but about each person holding fast to their beliefs, fulfilling each other, not being attached to selfish desires, not being greedy for companionship, keeping our feelings hidden in daily life, and giving warmth to others and the world. This 'lovelessness' is precisely the great love that transcends obsession, the ultimate state of love." In the teahouse at the entrance of town, Mr. Wuming looked at everything in the town, the steam from the brewing tea blurring his features. Someone asked him, "Sir, everything in the world has its ultimate state; is there a way to connect them all?" The gentleman raised his eyes, his fingertips lightly tapping the teacup, his voice calm yet clear: "Plants grow without growing, which is letting go of forcing; art is likeness or unlikeness, which is letting go of attachment; the market sells without selling, which is letting go of greed; war is won without fighting, which is letting go of conflict; love becomes love without love, which is letting go of selfishness; making money and enjoying leisure is letting go of pursuit. The ultimate state of being human is to gather the ways of all things, without good or evil, not trapped by judgments of good and evil; without emotion, love, or hate, not entangled by emotional entanglements; without greed, anger, or pride, not drowning in the shackles of desire; without desire, doubt, or heart, not clinging to the obsessions of one's own heart. It is not numbness, but rather, after experiencing the world, stripping away the superficiality, returning to one's true self, with a heart like a clear mirror, unreflected by dust, in harmony with heaven and earth, free and at ease." Later, people from outside the mountains heard the story of Qingwu Town and came to explore the path to the ultimate state. Some were obsessed with learning from Lao Bai's forest tending, deliberately letting things go but failing to understand how to follow the natural flow; some imitated A Jin's brocade weaving, deliberately blurring the lines but losing the essence; some followed Manager Su's medicine selling, deliberately seeking leisure but harboring greed, ultimately gaining nothing. Only those who let go of their obsessions and followed their true nature gradually understood in the everyday life of Qingwu Town—the ultimate state of all things is never the result of deliberate pursuit, but rather a natural fulfillment achieved after letting go of obsessions, just like the tea of ​​the nameless gentleman, without fragrance yet with a sweet aftertaste, without flavor yet with a lingering aftertaste, containing the truest truth of the world. The mist in Qingwu Town still rises at dawn and dissipates at dusk, the mountains and forests are still lush and long, the brocade in the weaving workshop is still seemingly real yet unreal, the tea in the medicine shop is still fragrant and carefree, and the people in the town still live a leisurely and carefree life. They do not understand what the "ultimate state" is, but they have become the embodiment of the ultimate state. Ultimately, all the highest realms in the world boil down to the word "truth," to a pure and untainted heart, to the composure of conforming to all things, and to the fulfillment that comes from letting go of attachments.
