In ancient times, some scholars took the initiative to join the WTO (like Tao Yuanming, I think it was passive seclusion).

According to LZ, recluses are passive. The so-called great seclusion in the DPRK, such as Fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi, all want to have political ambitions and try to change. There are Kang Youwei, Tan Sitong and Liang Qichao in modern times. Although he is also a scholar, he is also working hard to change the present situation in China. Although they failed, they didn't escape passively when the national disaster hit, and Tan Sitong, the most ambitious of them, didn't escape even though he could walk. He gave his life for China. They are not just writers who write a few poems and articles. They put their knowledge into higher ideals, so they are not only writers who actively join the WTO, but also heroes who actively change the world ~
