The World of Cultivation

All under heaven follows the imperial order, while cultivators follow the Daoist tradition. They know nothing of the immortal realm, while immortals drift among idle clouds, carefree without end. How could they know the warmth and chill of human hearts, the fullness of love, or the harsh realities of the world? Ordinary people experience the seven emotions and six desires; cultivators look upon the world's changing fortunes with detachment. They live side by side in all their variety as time slips away. Each has their differences, yet they share the same words.
