水清无鱼

水太清了，鱼就无法生计。水太澄澈，莫得浮游生物，鱼就莫得食品，弗成存活了。这是闲居的当然怡悦。受此启发，中国古东谈主宗旨对东谈主、对物弗成条款过高，求全驳诘，失之严苛，应该宽和、包容。这与“厚德载物”的理念是重复的。

o Fish Survive If Water Is Too Clear.

Fish cannot survive in the water that is too clear. With no plankton in water, fish have nothing to feed on and are bound to die. This is a natural phenomenon. Drawing inspiration on it, ancient Chinese believed that one should not set the bar too high for a person or something, criticize a person for failing to be perfect, or be too strict with others. Instead, they held that one should be tolerant and inclusive. This term echoes the thinking of "having great virtue and carrying all things."
