weiwu — wu wei, reversed.

Act with the grain, not against it.

Wu wei (無為) is the old Daoist idea of effortless action: doing what the situation already asks for, without forcing it. Water does not fight the stone, yet it shapes the valley.

The name turns it around on purpose. Wu wei is often read as “not acting”. weiwu puts the action first: first understand the flow, then move, lightly and on time.

• 觀Observe before deciding. Most of the work is seeing clearly.
• 順Follow the structure that is already there before building a new one.
• 簡Prefer the simplest move that is enough.
• 學Keep learning. Mastery is what makes effort look effortless.
