Listen to this articleyǔshí-xiéxínɡ 与时偕行
Go with the Times
行事之法与“时”一起变化。出自《周易·彖下》。“时”指人事发展过程中出现的时机或时运。在“时”所规定的境遇中，有着与之相适应的处事之法。“时”的出现与消失及其对人事的影响，体现着天道、人事的运行法则。人应认识并把握“时”的变化，采取与“时”相适应的行动。
The notion of adjusting one’s actions to the “times” comes from The Book of Changes. The “times” refer to the opportunities or chances that present themselves as human activities progress. In the circumstances determined by the times, one should choose correspondingly suitable methods of handling affairs. The appearance and disappearance of opportunities and chances, and their impact on human affairs reflect the principles of the Way of Heaven and human affairs. People should recognize and keep pace with the change of the times and adapt in agreement with the times.
