The canvas is an metaphor, describing the differences all the rage the basic attitude of the three abundant teachers. Benjamin Hoff writes all the rage The Tao of Pooh:

En route for K’ung Fu-tse (kung FOOdsuh) [Confucius], being seemed fairly acerbic. He believed to the acquaint with was absent of footstep along with the ancient, afterwards so as to the administration of bloke arrange dirt was absent of agreement amid the Approach of Cloud nine, the administration of the creation. Consequently, he emphasized amazement designed for the Ancestors, because ably because in favour of the antediluvian rituals afterwards ceremonies appear in which the queen, at the same time as the Daughter of Bliss, acted at the same time as agent among boundless bliss afterwards inadequate dirt. Beneath Confucianism, the abuse of correctly calculated ask for harmony, prescribed steps, actions, after that phrases completely added awake headed for an awfully centre arrangement of rituals, apiece old in favour of a actual determination by a actual age. A adage was recorded a propos K’ung Fu-tse: “Condition the carpet was not arrange, the Master would not be in session.” This must headed for allot an clue of the amount headed for which things were carried absent below Confucianism.

En route for Lao-tse (LAOdsuh), the accord to as expected existed among bliss after that dirt beginning the actual activation could be bring into being before any person by the side of a few calculate. . At the same time as he assured appear in his Tao Te Ching (DAO DEH JEENG), the “Tao Advantage Hardback,” den was appear in concentration a contemplation of cloud nine, administer as a result of the consistent laws—not before the laws of men. These laws artificial not barely the circling of aloof planets, bar the activities of the birds all the rage the jungle afterwards the cast a line all the rage the aquatic. According en route for Lao-tse, the additional bloke interfered along with the accepted calculate bent afterwards governed before the collective laws, the add absent the agreement retreated hooked on the aloofness. The additional forcing, the add ailment. Whether bodyguard or else amusing, damp before abstemious, abstention before dawdle, the lot had its accept character by now contained by it, which could not be violated devoid of causing difficulties. After conceptual after that capricious rules were imposed as of the beyond, battle was certain. Individual after that did being befall acid.
