Excerpt from the original:
Is a husband who cares about his relatives, safe and filial; When a husband is in charge of his own affairs, he will settle down at will and prosper in loyalty and righteousness; People who care about their own hearts are not easy to give up their sorrows and joys, and they know that they can't help living in peace.
Being a courtier is a must. If you act in love and forget your body, why don't you have time to be happy and evil! Master, this is a good thing!
Translation:
Therefore, people who serve their parents should make their parents comfortable under any circumstances, which is the highest performance of filial piety; People who serve the monarch, no matter what they do, should reassure the monarch. This is the ultimate loyalty. People who pay attention to self-cultivation are not easily influenced by sorrows and joys. Knowing that the world is difficult and helpless, they can be content with the status quo and conform to nature. This is the highest state of moral cultivation.
What a courtier must do. If you are in trouble, you should be able to catch the truth and forget yourself. Where can you care about life and hate death? Just do it!

A Brief Introduction to Zhuangzi's Human Life
Life on Earth is an article by Zhuangzi. The center of this book is to explore the way of dealing with the world, which not only expresses Zhuangzi's attitude towards others and himself, but also reveals Zhuangzi's philosophy of dealing with the world.
The full text can be divided into two parts, the first part is "not afraid of evil", and the second part is below. There are three stories in the first part: Confucius' conversation with Yan Hui when he was going to defend the country, Confucius' advice when he was sent to Qi, and advice when he was invited to be the master of Wang Wei, so as to illustrate the difficulty of dealing with the world and not to be careless.
Zhuangzi put forward the idea of "fasting in the heart" for the first time, that is, "waiting for things in vain". Furthermore, it is put forward that "knowing his helplessness and taking it as it is", and the third is "being a straight girl", "being indifferent in shape" and "being indifferent in heart". It boils down to one thing: it is still "no self".
The second part focuses on the usefulness of "uselessness", using the metaphor that the tree is immature but enjoys life, and it is fragmented and incomplete but avoids disasters. The last sentence "everyone knows it is useful, but they don't know it is useless" is the conclusion of the whole second part. The front and back parts complement each other, and it is difficult for the world to put forward the view of "uselessness", which is the embodiment of "governing by inaction"
The use of "uselessness" is full of dialectics. Usefulness and uselessness are objective, but they are also relative, and will be transformed under certain circumstances.
Zhuangzi, Gui Zang, Four Classics of Huangdi and Laozi are several original classics of the Chinese nation. They are not only important carriers of philosophy and culture, but also the crystallization of ancient sages' wisdom about literature, aesthetics, art and aesthetics. Zhuangzi and other Taoist thoughts have historically been regarded as official learning and Taoism besides Confucianism.
Zhuangzi is not only a philosophical masterpiece, but also a fable masterpiece in literature and aesthetics. But also exerted an inseparable and far-reaching influence on the development of China's literature and aesthetics. The publication and research of the fable of Zhuangzi has inherited and developed the excellent tradition of China culture and carried forward the spirit of the Chinese nation. In a practical sense, it laid a spiritual foundation for the construction of socialist civilization.
