To be creative, Chinese philosophy teaches us to abandon ‘originality’

This article reminds me heavily of the Shokunin philosophy - the way of the craftsman or artisan. There is something to be said about repetition, whether it's chopping an onion or folding your laundry, because those moments of self improvement and the discovery of new techniques are inherently displays of creativity. Creativity shouldn't be centralised around grand art displays or edgy neo noir films because it can also be exercised in the everyday, democratising it and making it accessible to all.
