Lying Flat
Tang Ping represents rejecting the culture of overwork and overachievement. Lay flat and enjoy the ride.
A lifestyle rejecting the pressure to overwork and overachieve. Hold the token, lie flat, do nothing.
Born from exhaustion with 996 work culture and endless achievement chasing.
The most radical act is to do nothing. Buy, hold, lie flat.
"I reject overwork. I reject overachievement. I choose to hold tokens and lie flat."
— Buy, hodl, lay flat
The Tang Ping movement began in April 2021 with a post by Luo Huazhong (username "Kind-Hearted Traveler") on Baidu Tieba.
"I can just sleep in my barrel enjoying a sunbath like Diogenes, or live in a cave-like Heraclitus and think about 'Logos'. Since there has never really been a trend of thought that exalts human subjectivity in this land, I can create it for myself. Lying flat is my wise movement, only by lying down can humans become the measure of all things."
