《庄子·内篇·大宗师》
古时候的 真人 ，神情嵬峨而不矜持，好像不足却又无所承受；态度安闲自然、特立超群而不执着顽固，襟怀宽阔虚空而不浮华；怡然欣喜像是格外地高兴，一举一动又像是出自不得已！容颜和悦令人喜欢接近，与人交往德性宽和让人乐于归依；气度博大像是宽广的世界！高放自得从不受什么限制，绵邈深远好像喜欢封闭自己，心不在焉的样子又好像忘记了要说的话。
古之真人，其状义而不朋，若不足而不承；与乎其觚而不坚也，张乎其虚而不华也；邴邴乎其似喜也，崔崔乎其不得已也，滀乎进我色也，与乎止我德也，广乎其似世也，謷乎其未可制也，连乎其似好闭也，悗乎忘其言也。
In ancient times, the True Man was of a lofty and unassuming countenance, as if he were inadequate yet承受受容着一切；he was tranquil and natural, independent and unyielding, yet without obstinacy or stubbornness; his mind was broad and empty, yet not frivolous; he was delighted and joyful, as if he were overjoyed, yet his every action seemed to be出于出于不得已！His countenance was pleasant and approachable, and his virtue was gentle and welcoming; his bearing was magnanimous, like the vast world! He was free and unrestrained, as if不受什么什么限制， and yet distant and profound, as if he loved to withdraw into himself; he seemed absent-minded, as if he had forgotten what he was going to say.
