A wind that rises in the daytime lasts long, but a night breeze soon
falls.
Cf. Lao Tzŭ’s saying: 飄風不終朝 “A violent wind does not last the
space of a morning.” (_Tao Tê Ching_, chap. 23.) Mei Yao-ch‘ên and
Wang Hsi say: “A day breeze dies down at nightfall, and a night
breeze at daybreak. This is what happens as a general rule.” The
phenomenon observed may be correct enough, but how this sense is
to be obtained is not apparent.
