Original Chinese Seal Script Calligraphy
The phrase Xiang Wang Jiang Hu (相忘江湖) comes from the ancient Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi:
“Rather than keeping one another alive with moisture, it is better to forget one another in the rivers and lakes.”
To meet someone in the vast world, to care for one another, and to remain close — this is the quiet beauty of ordinary companionship.
To part without resentment, to follow separate paths, and to live freely without clinging — this is another kind of beauty, one of independence and inner freedom.
For me, Xiang Wang Jiang Hu is not about indifference or forgetting those we love. It is about learning to release attachment without losing kindness.
Perhaps when we no longer insist on holding on to everything, peace of mind comes more naturally.
