My expert is Wen Jie (1), hand touching, shoulder leaning, foot stepping, knee squatting (2), sudden direction (3) and sudden knife cutting (4), all of which are in harmony. Dance in the mulberry forest (5) is the first encounter of the classic (6).
Wen said, "Hey 7, OK! Is that all (8)? "
My master put a knife to him and said, "Those who are good in what I do are also good in Tao and superior in skill (9). When the first minister solved the cow, he saw nothing but the cow. I haven't seen all the cows for three years. At this moment, I saw God instead of looking at him. Zhi Zhi is an official with a desire to do things (10). According to the laws of Heaven (1 1), we approved Taiying (12) and Brother Guide (13) because they are (14). Skills and experience are not bad (15), but the situation is very bad (16)! Guo Liang changed his knife (17); Clans change knives for months (18) and fold (19). I worked with my sword for nineteen years and solved thousands of cows. If the blade is newly developed (20). That section has a notch (2 1), but the blade is not thick; Without thickness, there will be room for recovery (22), so if the blade is newly developed after 19 years. Although, as for the competition (23), I think it is very difficult, but it is a warning (24), and it is too late to act now. The moving knife was solved when it was very young (25), such as the Soil Commission (26). " Stand with a knife, look around for it, be full of ambition, and hide it with a good knife (27). "
Wen Huijun said, "It's good that I can stay healthy after listening to my words (28).

There is a chef named Ding who specializes in slaughtering cattle. Wherever his hands touch, his shoulders rest, his feet step on, and his knees stand, he makes a sound of separation of flesh and blood, and the knife goes in, making a louder noise. All these sounds are not out of tune. In tune with the dance rhythm accompanied by Sang Lin and Jing Shou.
Liang said, "Hey! All right! How can you be so skilled? "
My master put down his knife and replied, "What my deputies are exploring is the law of things, which has surpassed the pursuit of cattle slaughter technology. At first, I didn't know the body structure of the cow, but I only saw the whole cow. After three years, I will never see the whole cow again. When slaughtering a cow, the liegeman only needs to touch the body of the cow with his spirit, instead of looking at it with his eyes, just as the line of sight stops moving and moves completely with his mental will. Along the grain structure of cattle, splitting the big gap between bones and muscles, and making knives along the holes between joints are all along the original structure of cattle. The knife for slaughtering cattle has never touched the place where the meridians are connected, or where the muscles attached to the bones gather, let alone the big bones of the thighs. Skilled chefs change a knife every year because they use it to cut meat. Ordinary chefs change a knife every month because it is used to cut bones. My servant's knife has been used for 19 years, killing thousands of cows, but the blade looks like it has just been ground from the grindstone. There are cracks in the joints of cattle, but the blade is not thick. If you use such a thin blade to pierce a seam with a gap, you must be generous and have room to operate the blade. Therefore, after using 19 years, the blade still looks like it has just been ground from the grindstone. Even so, whenever I meet a place where bones and muscles are intertwined, I will be very cautious when I see that it is difficult to get a knife, my eyes are focused and my movements are slow. The knife moved gently, and the flesh and blood separated with a crash, like a pile of mud scattered on the ground. I stood there, knife in hand, looking around proudly for this success, looking carefree and satisfied. Wipe the knife clean and put it away. "
Liang said, "Good! I listened to my words and learned the method of fitness. "

Creation background
Zhuangzi lived in the middle of the Warring States Period, which was a very intense social transformation period. China society has experienced great changes of "the high shore is the valley and the deep valley is the mausoleum". Social unrest makes people miserable, and people in troubled times are full of confusion about life and the future. In view of the fact that people can't let their nature live freely in the cruel reality and can't enjoy life in the face of ruthless destruction, Zhuangzi was forced to be cautious at any time and place, adapt in time and not seek harm. He wants to find a gap in the joint of complex struggle, and use it as a comfortable nest to save his life, so as to survive in this troubled times with ease. This fable embodies this mentality.

He was a great thinker, philosopher and writer in the pre-Qin period of China.
Zhuangzi was originally a descendant of Chu Zhuangwang and the main founder of Taoism. Together with Laozi, the ancestor of Taoism, they are called "Laozi and Zhuangzi", and their philosophical thoughts are respected as "Laozi and Zhuangzi's philosophy" by the ideological and academic circles, but their literary talent is better than Laozi's. Zhuangzi is a masterpiece, and people have interpreted it in many versions, including A Happy Journey and The Theory of Everything. Zhuangzi advocated "harmony between man and nature" and "governing by doing nothing".
Zhuangzi's imagination is extremely rich, his language is freely used and flexible, and he can make some subtle and unspeakable philosophies fascinating. His works are called "literary philosophy, philosophical literature". It is said that he lived in seclusion in Nanhua Mountain, so at the beginning of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, he named Zhuang Zhou as the South China Reality and his book Zhuangzi as the South China True Classic.
