What is fate? Can you explain it briefly?
Both Confucianism and Taoism in the pre-Qin period advocated "destiny" and regarded it as the final decider of personnel. Some representatives of Confucianism put forward that "life is life, wealth is heaven", believing that everything in life is decided by a supernatural mysterious force, and advocating lotte know life and resignation. Taoism, on the other hand, starts from the "harmony between man and nature" and denies all human behaviors towards nature. Among them, Zhuangzi advocated "knowing his helplessness and living in peace". Wang Chong, a thinker in the Eastern Han Dynasty, thought that "life is poor, although it is rich, it is still involved in disaster; Life should be rich, although it is poor, it is still good. The fate of life has nothing to do with god or personal conduct, but depends on fate, that is, the thickness of your natural vitality when you are in your mother's body. Wang Chong's opposition to the teleology of good and evil in theology from the standpoint of materialist atheism is of positive significance. However, he exaggerated contingency into inevitability (see inevitability and contingency) and thought that "all mortals are destined to meet their spouses and suffer from them".
