The Mirror of Heaven and Earth

Two different philosophers looked at how we might view the shin, which klein translates as heart mind. But both of these philosophers tended to look at ways in which this heart mind might best resemble a mirror. The idea here is that the surface of the water must be still in order to more perfectly reflect a vewer's face. And i found this this really interesting because while in modern time s we tend to think of mirrors as passive, to the ancient chinese mirrors they were seen as active and responsive objectss.
