"The nature is like water, and the embodied nature is like adding a little oil and salt, so that it all has a certain flavor."
—Zhu Xi, in Categorized Conversation (Tiwald and Van Norden 2014, p. 177)
I make a non-alcoholic cocktail in class to illustrate Zhu Xi's metaphysical analogy: just as lime and mint give water a distinctive flavor, qi gives nature its particular manifestation in each thing.
