The so-called fatalism of the Chinese people has evolved from this concept. A person's yun, or fortune, on the other hand, can be altered and changed. When the personal time of an individual is in proper accord with public time, good fortune is on its way, and vice versa.
中國人相信：雖然命是定的，「運」卻是可改變的，當個人生命發展的時間與公家配合得好，就是好運來臨，反之就是壞運。
