天何言哉 What heaven does not say

天何言哉？

What does Heaven ever say?

论语 · 阳货篇 · our translation

The seasons still turn and things still grow. Heaven says nothing and does everything. 孔子接着说：四时行焉，百物生焉。天一句话不说，四季照常转。「天」在名字里取的是这个分量——不言而行。

天行青天天行天与乐天

In a name

Weight that does not need to announce itself.

「天」是不言而行的分量。
