* * * Nine fables.
mountain forest
Author: Zhuangzi
1, Zhuangzi walks in the mountains.
Original text:
Zhuangzi was walking in the mountains when he saw a big branch with a leaf of Sheng Mao. The woodcutter stopped beside it and didn't take it away. Asked why, he said, "Nothing."
Zhuangzi said, "This wood is born without wood." The host came from the mountains and stayed at an old friend's house. The old friend was happy and ordered the upright man to kill the goose and cook it.
Vertical child asked: "If one can sing and the other can't, please satirize?"
The master said, "Kill those who can't talk."
Tomorrow, disciple asked Zhuangzi, "Yesterday, the tree in the mountain died without expectation, but now the goose of the master dies without expectation;" Where will sir be? "
Zhuangzi said with a smile, "Week will be between material and immaterial. Between material and immaterial, specious, so more tired. If the husband rides a moral float, otherwise, he will have no reputation, a dragon and a snake, keep pace with the times and have no desire to do it; As long as you go up and down, with harmony as the quantity, floating in the ancestor of all things, things are not in things, then Hu can get and hate! This is the law of Shennong Huangdi.
If the husband's love for everything is transmitted through human relations, it is not the case. If you are United, you will be separated, and if you succeed, you will be destroyed; Honesty will be frustrated, respect will suffer, virtuous will be bullied, and what you can get will be rewarded! Sad husband! Disciple Zhi Zhi, his hometown has only morality! "
2. See Lv Hou in the South.
South Yi Liao sees Lv Hou, and Lv Hou is worried. Nan Zi said, "If you are worried, why worry about yourself?"
Lv Hou said: "I will learn from Wang Zhidao first, and I will learn from you first;" I respect ghosts and respect sages, do it myself, and never leave home for a moment; However, I can't help but suffer, I am very worried. "
Nanzi said, "Your skill of getting rid of diseases is shallow! Those who lie down, live in the mountains, squat in caves, and be quiet; Live at night and live by day, and quit; Although hungry and thirsty, Jude Xu Dan was left out in the cold in the Jianghu, begging for food and determined to win; However, it is inevitable to lose opportunities. What crime? Its skin is also a disaster. Today, isn't Lu the skin of your monarch? I want you to peel off your skin, unload your heart and desire, and swim in the deserted fields.
There is a city in South Vietnam called Jiande. Its people are stupid and simple, with few selfish desires; Know it but don't know it, don't ask for it; I don't know where righteousness is, and I don't know what the ceremony will be; Regardless of the consequences, regardless of the consequences, it is generosity; He gave birth to coke, but his death can be buried. I wish you go to the country to donate customs and walk with the Tao. "
Jun said, "What can we do without a boat and a car?" Nanzi said, "You are invisible and have no residence, so you think you are a car." You said, "Where there is no one, who are our neighbors? I have no food, I have no food, how can I be safe? "
Nan Zi said, "Although there is no food, the expenses of a few gentlemen are enough. You wade across the river and float on the sea, looking at it without seeing its cliff, and going further without knowing its poverty. The man who sent you off the cliff turned against you, and you stayed away from it! So some people are tired, and those who see others are worried. Therefore, Yao is not someone, not someone.
I would like to travel to Dharma alone, except for your worry. The ark helps the river flow, and an empty boat touches the boat. Although there is a person who is not angry, if there is a person on it, he will shout, but he will not smell, and then he will not smell. So he called three evils, followed by one evil. I'm not angry with you now, I'm still angry with you now. People can make a fool of themselves and travel around the world, but who can harm them! "
3. Gong Bei luxury goods
Gong Bei thought that Fu Lian was a bell, and that the altar was outside the Guo Gate. In March, it became a county.
When Prince Qing Ji saw this scene, he asked, "What is the son's design?"
Luxury said, "for a while, I didn't dare to set it up." I heard that' carving and returning to the garden' is luxury, ignorance and doubt; This is wonderful, it is sent and introduced; Can't help coming, don't stop going; From its intense beam. Because of poverty, the situation is greatly discredited because it will not lose a dime sooner or later!
Confucius was surrounded by Cai Chen.
Confucius surrounded Chen and Cai and did not eat fire for seven days.
The Grand Duke went to hang him and said, "How long will I die?"
Say: "Ran". "Is the child evil?" Said, "Of course."
Ren said, "I have tasted the way of saying that I will not die. There are birds in the East China Sea, which is called laziness. It is a bird, and it seems to be incompetent; Fly away with help, live under threat, and dare not move forward or retreat; If you dare not taste the food first, you must take it. Therefore, its rank does not refuse, and outsiders may not harm it to avoid its suffering. Straight trees are cut first, and dry wells are exhausted first. People who are interested in it will certainly play a warning role for fools, and cultivate their morality to make it clear, making it clear that they will do it if they expose the sun and the moon.
Yesterday, I heard a great man say,' It is useless to cut yourself; Winners fall, winners fail. "Who can go to fame and fortune, and everyone! The Tao does not know where to live, and it is feasible and indescribable; Pure and frequent, better than madness; Cutting traces and donating potential is not a name. Therefore, there is no responsibility to others, and people have no responsibility. If people don't smell it, why do they like it? "
Confucius said, "Good!" Quit making friends, go to his apprentice and flee to osawa; Clothes are brown, eat chestnuts; If you enter a beast, you don't make trouble, and if you enter a bird, you don't make trouble. Birds and beasts are not evil, but the situation is human!
5. Confucius asked his son Sang.
Confucius asked his son Sang Yong: "I will drive away from Lu again, cut down trees in Song Dynasty, cut off traces in Wei Dynasty, be poor in Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and surround myself with Chen and Cai. I have committed these crimes, my close friends are good for me, and my friends are good for me. What? "
Meng said, "doesn't Zizi know the death of the mute?" Lin turned around and abandoned the 1000 silver to get it. Or:' for its cloth? Naked children have few clothes; Tired of it? A naked child is tired. What's the point of abandoning a treasure of 1000 yuan to chase your son? "
Lin Hui said,' If you want to bring out the best in each other, it is also a matter of heaven.' Those who are married to each other force the poor and the evil to abandon each other. People who belong to heaven are forced to be extremely vicious. It is still far from her husband's acceptance and abandonment. The friendship between gentlemen is indifferent, and the friendship between villains is willing; A gentleman is indifferent to his relatives, but a villain is willing to give up. Join for no reason, leave for no reason. "
Confucius said, "I respect my life!"
Xu Hangxiang pretended to go back, lost his studies, donated books, and his disciples didn't worry, so his love increased greatly.
Another day, Sang Yong said, "Shun will die. This fact is what Yu said. If the appearance doesn't matter, the feeling doesn't matter. The edge is not separated, and the speed is effortless; Never leave, never work, never ask for words to wait for shape, never ask for words to wait for shape, never ask for things to wait for things. " "
6, Zhuangzi and fill it.
Zhuangzi's clothes are big and patchy, and only one shoe passes through Wang Wei.
Wang Wei said, "Is Mr. He tired?"
Zhuangzi said, "Poverty does not work. A moral scholar can't do it, and he is exhausted; Clothes and shoes are bad, poor and tireless; This so-called bad times are also. Didn't Wang even see Fu Teng ape? Its catalpa, and then its branches, and Wang Chang in the meantime, although easy, not arrogant.
Between thorns and bitter oranges, it is dangerous to shake your eyes; This kind of muscle is not soft but urgent, which is not convenient to show its ability. I am in a daze, but I don't want to be exhausted. Can I be evil? This is not just a dry point of view! "
Confucius is poor between Chen and Cai.
Confucius was poor between Chen and Cai, and did not eat fire for seven days. He left the wood and branches on the right, but the wind of songs has its own characteristics and is countless. It has its voice without palace horns, and the sound of wood is vocal, and people cultivate nature.
Yan Hui's end arch is still faintly visible.
Zhong Ni is afraid that he will expand himself and create greatness, but he loves himself and creates sadness. He said, "When you come back, there will be nothing to lose in the sky, and no one else will gain anything. Without beginning and without death, man and heaven are also. Who is the singer of my husband today? "
He replied, "It's easy to ask."
Zhong Ni said, "Hunger, thirst, cold and heat, poverty, a trip to heaven and earth, put things, it is said that they will die together. Ministers are afraid to go. The method of executing a minister is still true, but the situation is so good! "
"What do you mean no one benefits?"
Zhong Ni said: "At the beginning, four talents were used, and the remuneration was not bad. The benefits of things are not my own. I ordered them to be outside. A gentleman doesn't steal, a wise man doesn't steal. What a pity if I take it! Therefore, birds don't know what they are doing, and they don't want to see what they are doing, but they abandon it. It is afraid of people, but it attacks the world, and society exists. "
"What does it mean to die without a start?"
Zhong Ni said, "If a person changes everything, how can he know the end of Zen? How do you know its beginning? Just wait. "
"What is the evil between man and nature?"
Zhong Ni said: "People have it, and the sky is also; One day, it will be the same. People can't have days, but also have sex. The saint died suddenly! "
8. Zhuang traveled all over the fan of Diaoling.
Zhuang fans around the Carving Mausoleum, and different magpies come from the south, with wings seven feet wide and big eyes, gathering chestnut forests.
Zhuang Zhou said, "What kind of bird is this? You can't see it. "
Step by step, leave with the bomb.
Cicada can get a beautiful shadow and forget her body, mantis can catch and fight, and get carried away; Different magpies benefit from it, but they forget the truth when they see the benefits.
Zhuang Zhou suddenly said, "Hey! Things are tired, and the second one is also called! " Donate bombs and leave, people dare not blame.
Zhuang Zhou turned his back and did not go to court in March. He asked, "What's the difference between your master?"
Zhuang Zhou said: "I keep my shape and forget my body, but I am confused by turbid water." I also heard the masters say,' Do as the Romans do and obey their orders'. Swimming in the mausoleum today, I forgot my body. Different magpies pity me. I swam around in the chestnut forest and forgot the truth. Li Lin's people took me as their slaughter object, so I didn't go to court. "
9. Yoko's Song
Yoko's song stayed in the reverse journey. A traveler has two concubines, one is beautiful, the other is evil, evil is expensive, and beautiful is cheap.
Yoko asked him why, but the child said to him: I don't know how beautiful it is; I don't know if evil people are evil. "
Yang Zi said, "Remember, disciple! Go to the sage and go to the sage, be safe and not love! "
Second, translation.
1, Zhuangzi walks in the mountains.
Walking on the mountain, Zhuangzi saw a big branch with lush foliage. The lumberjack stood by the tree, but he didn't cut it. Ask them what the reason is and say, "It's no use."
Zhuangzi said: "This tree can enjoy its life because it is not successful!"
Zhuangzi went out to live in a friend's house. The friend was very happy and asked the boy to kill the goose to entertain him.
The boy asked his master, "one can bark and the other can't." Which one should I kill? "
The master said, "Kill the one who can't be called out."
The next day, the disciple asked Zhuangzi, "Yesterday I met a big tree in the mountains, but I was able to enjoy my life because I was unsuccessful. Now my master's goose was killed because it was unsuccessful. " How will you treat it, sir? "
Zhuangzi smiled and said, "I will be somewhere between success and failure. Between success and failure, it seems to be in line with the avenue, but it is not really in line with the avenue, so it is impossible to get rid of bondage and fatigue.
If we can conform to nature and play freely, it will not be like this. Don't praise or belittle, sometimes flying like a dragon and sometimes crouching like a snake, and change with the passage of time, instead of staying in one aspect; Sometimes I make progress, sometimes I shrink back. Everything is measured by harmony. I live happily in the initial state of everything, serving foreign things, but not being served by foreign things. So, how can we keep ourselves from being bound and tired by foreign things? This is the truth of life of Shennong Huangdi.
As for the truth of all things, human tradition is not like this. Where there is convergence, there is separation, and where there is success, there is destruction; Sharp edges and corners will be frustrated, respect will be overthrown, promising people will suffer, talented people will be calculated, and incompetent people will be bullied. How can it be stuck in one aspect? Pathetic! Remember, disciples, I'm afraid I have to return to nature! "
2. See Lv Hou in the South.
When Nanyi Liao visited Lv Hou, Lu Zhu's face was worried. Nan Yiliao said, "The monarch looks worried. Why? " Lv Hou said: "I learned from my predecessor's way of governing the country and inherited my predecessor's career;" I advocate ghosts and gods, respect talents and practice. There is no short rest, but disaster cannot be avoided. I'm worried about it. "
Nanyiliao said, "Your way of eliminating sorrow is too shallow! The big fox with rich fur and the leopard with mottled patterns live in deep forests and lurk in caves, which is meditation; Action at night, rest during the day, this is vigilance; Even if hunger and thirst are invisible, away from all kinds of footprints and foraging in the rivers and lakes, it is stable; However, it still hasn't got rid of the trap and institutional disaster.
What are the sins of these two animals? It is their own fur that brings them disaster. Isn't Lu's present state the fur that brings you disaster? I hope you can empty your body, give up your fur, purify your mind, get rid of your desires, and then live in Yuan Ye without people.
There is a city in the far south. Its name is Jiande. The people there are pure and simple, with few selfish desires; Knowing that farmers don't know how to save, giving to others never asks for a return; Don't know the destination of righteousness, don't know the destination of etiquette; Do whatever you want, but you can go your own way; They were happy when they were born and buried safely when they died. I hope you can also give up national politics, secular, and go hand in hand with the avenue. "
Lv Hou said, "It's a long and dangerous road, which is blocked by rivers and mountains. I have no boat or car available. What should I do? "
Nan Yiliao said, "You can't be arrogant, you can't stick to it, you can be your car."
Lv Hou said, "The road there is dark and far, and there is no one there. Who are my neighbors? " I have no food. I have no food. How can I get there? "
Nan Yiliao said: "It is enough to reduce expenses and control desires, although there is no food. When you cross the river and float in the sea, you can't see the shore at first sight. The farther you go, the less you know its fatigue. All the people who saw me off went back from the river bank, but you are getting farther and farther away from it!
Therefore, those who rule others must be tired, and those who are subject to others must be worried. Tang Yao never enslaved others, nor was he subject to them. I hope I can relieve your fatigue and your troubles, and walk with the avenue in the empty kingdom. When two boats meet and cross the river, suddenly an empty boat collides, even the most intolerant and irritable person will not be angry; If there is a person on that ship, everyone will make a hullabaloo about and scold the ship for retreating; There was no response the first time, and there was no response the second time, so if you shout for the third time, it will be endless.
I didn't lose my temper just now, but now I'm angry. That's because the boat was empty just now, and now someone is on board. If a person can let himself drift, have no intention of living and roam freely in the world, who can hurt him? "
3. Gong Bei luxury goods
Gong Bei collected donations for Wei Linggong to cast a clock, set up an altar at the gate of the outer city, and built the clock in three months, and put it on the upper and lower shelves in groups.
Prince Qing Ji saw this situation and asked him, "What method did you use?"
Gong Bei luxury said: "Sincere and single-minded, let nature take its course, dare not take it for granted that there is any other good way.
I once heard,' Since it has been carefully carved and pondered, it is necessary to return to the true colors of things.' Simplicity and carelessness are so ignorant, and it is so easy to forget the mind; Property is gathered but you are ignorant, or distributed or gathered; Don't ban the hair, don't stop the hair; Those who are overbearing and unreasonable should follow their own way, and those who are tacitly aware should follow their own way and do what they can.
So sooner or later, we will raise money without hurting others, let alone people who take the avenue! "
Confucius was surrounded by Cai Chen.
Confucius was trapped between Chen and Cai, and could not make a fire and cook for seven days and seven nights. Tai Gong Ren went to see him and said, "Are you hungry?" Confucius said, "Yes." The squire asked again, "Do you hate it?" Confucius said, "Yes."
Taigong benevolent way: "Let me talk about the method of longevity. There is a bird that lives in the East China Sea of China. Its name is Yi Lan. Italy, as a bird, flies very slowly and seems unable to fly. They always have to be led by other birds to fly, and when they live, they are crowded with other birds; Dare not fly ahead when advancing, and dare not fall behind when retreating; When eating, they dare not speak first, and always eat the leftovers of other birds, so they are never excluded from the flock, and people will not hurt them after all, so they can avoid disaster.
Trees that grow straight are always cut down first, and sweet wells are always dried up first. Your original intention is to dress yourself up with talent to scare ordinary people, to show off the filth of others and to pay attention to your self-cultivation, and to show off unabashedly as if you were walking with the sun and the moon, so you can't avoid disaster.
Once upon a time, I heard Lao Tzu of Shengdehongbo say,' People who brag will not achieve great things; Those who become famous but don't know how to retire will be destroyed, and those who are famous but don't know how to hide their eyes and ears will be damaged. "Who can abandon fame and return to be like ordinary people! The road is widely spread, individuals hide their light and bide their time, morality prevails in the world, and individuals hide their light and bide their time. Simple and ordinary, just like a stupid person; Cut off traces, give up power, and do not seek fame.
Therefore, people will not blame others, and others will not blame themselves. People with high moral cultivation don't want to be famous all over the world. Why do you like being famous? "
Confucius said, "How nice!" So I bid farewell to my relatives and friends, left many disciples and fled to the wilderness of Shanze; Wear clothes made of leather and eat the fruits of oak and chestnut trees; If you join the group, the livestock will not be chaotic, and if you join the group, the birds will not be chaotic. Birds and beasts don't hate him, let alone people!
5. Confucius asked his son Sang.
Confucius asked Sanwei, "I was expelled twice in Lu, shocked and humiliated by cutting down trees in Song, uprooted in Wei, penniless in Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and besieged by Cai.". I have suffered so many disasters, my relatives and friends are more alienated, and my disciples and friends are more dispersed. Why? "
Mulberry replied, "Haven't you heard about the escape of the fake China people?" Lin Hui abandoned the precious jade and ran away with the baby on his back. Some people say,' Is he doing this for money? The value of a newborn baby is too small; Is he afraid of procrastination? There are too many newborn babies to drag on. Give up precious jade and carry your children away. "Why?"
Lin Hui said:' Jade worth thousands of dollars is in my interest. This child and I are made for each other.' Like-minded people will abandon each other when they encounter difficulties, disasters, troubles and injuries; People who are born with one track mind will tolerate each other when they encounter difficulties, disasters, troubles and injuries.
The difference between accepting and giving up each other is too far. Moreover, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and the friendship between villains is as sweet as sweet wine; A gentleman is indifferent to his heart, but a villain is sweet and heartless. People who are generally close for no reason will be separated for no reason. "
Confucius said, "I will listen to your words sincerely!" "So he left slowly, walked back leisurely, terminated his studies and discarded his letters. None of his disciples are apprentices, but they love their teachers even more.
One day, Mulberry said, "When Shun was dying, he told me the truth:' Be careful! Body shape is not as good as conformity, and emotion is not as good as frankness. Obedience will not deviate, honesty will not work hard; If you don't deviate from it and don't disturb it, then you don't need to dress up with decorative patterns; There is no need for ornamentation to shape the body, and of course there is no need to seek differences. " "
6, Zhuangzi and fill it.
Zhuangzi wore coarse cloth with patches, neatly tied his shoes with linen, and walked past Wang Wei.
Wang Wei saw it and said, "Why is Sir so sleepy?"
Zhuangzi said, "It is poverty, not poverty. It is difficult for scholars to carry out moral education. The clothes are torn, and so are the shoes. This is poverty, not poverty. This condition is called premature delivery.
Didn't your majesty see the jumping ape? They live in the forests of tall trees such as Phoebe bournei, Purple, Yu, Zhang, etc., and seize the vine-like twigs to jump freely and dominate the world. Even the archer Yihe dared not look down upon them.
When you live in thorns, tribulus, oranges, gourds and other thorns, you walk carefully, look around from time to time, and your heart is trembling with fear; This is not because the musculoskeletal contraction has changed and it is no longer flexible, but because the living environment is inconvenient and you can't give full play to your talents. Nowadays, it is an era of bad emperors and chaotic ministers. How can you not be sleepy? This situation is the best proof than being beheaded! "
Confucius is poor between Chen and Cai.
Confucius was trapped between Chen Guo and Cai Guo. For seven days, he didn't make a fire to eat. His left hand leaned against a dead tree, and his right hand beat the dead branches. Moreover, he sang songs from the Shennong era. However, what he struck didn't match the rhythm of the music. With the sound of percussion, it does not conform to the pentatonic scale. The sound of knocking on wood is obviously separated from the singing, which properly expresses the singer's mind.
Yan Hui stood respectfully, turned away and stole a look.
Confucius was really worried that he took his morality too seriously and reached the highest level, so he cherished himself and was very sad. He said, "Yan Hui, it's easier not to be harmed by nature, and it's even harder not to accept the benefits of others. Nothing in the world starts and ends at the same time, and so does man and nature. As for who will sing now? "
Yan Hui said, "I venture to ask what it means to be free from natural damage."
Confucius said, "Hunger, thirst, cold, heat and poverty make people and things unattainable. This is the movement of heaven and earth, and everything changes. It is said that it will change with everything in heaven and earth. Courtiers dare not disobey the will of the monarch. The truth of being a courtier is still the same, let alone treating nature like this! "
Yan Hui asked again: "What is more difficult to accept the benefits of others?"
Confucius said, "When I first took office, everything went smoothly, and the salary of knighthood was endless. The benefits brought by foreign objects do not belong to me, but my opportunity has existed in foreign objects for some time. " A gentleman does not rob, but a wise man does not steal. If I want to gain the benefits of foreign things, for what?
Therefore, birds are not smarter than swallows. When they see a place that is not suitable for stopping, they will never give a second look. Even if they leave their food behind, they will leave it behind and fly away. Swallows are afraid of people, but when they enter people's lives, they just send their nests to people's homes temporarily. "
Yan Hui asked again, "What do you mean, everything starts and ends at the same time?"
Confucius said: "Everything that changes endlessly cannot know who has replaced whom and who has replaced whom. How do we know their ending? " ? How can we know their beginning? Just stay on the right path and change accordingly. "
Yan Hui asked again, "What do you mean when you say that people are like nature?"
Confucius said: "the emergence of human beings is due to nature;" The appearance of nature is also due to nature People can't have natural nature, which is also determined by their natural nature. Saints can safely understand and end up with natural changes! "
8. Zhuang traveled all over the fan of Diaoling.
Zhuangzi was playing in the chestnut forest in Diaoling when he saw a strange magpie flying from the south, with wings as wide as seven feet and eyes as big as inches, touching Zhuangzi's forehead and stopping in the fruit tree forest.
Zhuangzi said, "What kind of bird is this? Its wings are big but it can't fly far, but its eyes are big but its eyesight is poor? " So I lifted my clothes and hurried forward, holding a slingshot in my hand, quietly waiting for the opportunity.
At this moment, I suddenly saw a cicada, resting beautifully in the dense shade, forgetting its own safety; A mantis accidentally used leaves as a cover to pounce on cicada, but forgot its own body. The strange magpie followed closely and thought it was an excellent opportunity. It was about to catch mantis and lost its authenticity.
Zhuangzi said with alarm and vigilance, "Ah, everything in the world is so intertwined and competitive. These two things always attract each other with interests!" Zhuangzi then threw away the slingshot and quickly turned away. The keeper of Chestnut Garden was puzzled and gave chase.
Zhuangzi came home in a bad mood for three days. Disciple Lin followed him and asked, "Why are you so unhappy these days?"
Zhuangzi said, "I pay attention to the shape of foreign objects and forget my own safety. I appreciate the turbid running water, but I am puzzled by the clear pool water. I heard from teacher Lao Dan:' Wherever you go, you must follow the customs and taboos there.' Now I have come to Diaoling Chestnut Garden, and I have forgotten my own safety. The strange magpie touched my forehead while playing in the fruit forest and lost its authenticity. The person in charge of the garden didn't understand me and insulted me. I felt very unhappy. "
9. Yoko's Song
Yang Zhu went to Song State and stayed in a hotel. The innkeeper has two concubines, one is beautiful and the other is ugly, but the ugly one is favored and the beautiful one is neglected.
When Yang Zhu asked about this matter, the small shopkeeper replied: "Beautiful people think they are beautiful, but I don't think they are beautiful; The ugly one thinks she is ugly, but I don't think she is ugly. "
Yoko turned to his disciples and said, "Remember, disciples! I have a good character, but I think I have a bad character. I will not be respected and loved wherever I go! "
Extended data:
analyse
This article mainly discusses lifestyle. This article has written many stories. It is not easy to cope with the world, and it is full of troubles. I hope to find the best way, but its main spirit is still self-denial.
The first book "Is the Hometown of Morality" is about the useless but preserved mountain trees, and the wild geese can't sing and be killed, which shows that it is difficult to find a perfect way. The best way is to serve foreign things instead of being served by them, floating in the "ancestor of all things" and "hometown of morality".
The second part, "Who can harm it", points out that coveting power will inevitably lead to disputes and disasters, and only "pretending to be lofty" can avoid disasters.
The moral of the story in the third book "The Clock Made by Jiqi" is that what is really needed is to let nature take its course.
The fourth part writes that Confucius is surrounded by Chen and Cai, which shows that the world is difficult, and "breaking the trace and donating the potential" and "not for fame" are the way to survive.
In the fifth part, through the dialogue between Confucius and Sang, I further put forward the idea of destiny and affection, that is, conforming to nature and indulging in nature.
In the sixth part, I wrote that the poverty in Zhuangzi lies in the "past and present confusion".
The seventh book, Natural Death of Saints, shows that saints can adapt safely in adversity through the attitude of Confucius when he was besieged.
The eighth part "I don't agree with the imperial court" refers to a series of metaphors that Zhuangzi saw that the world was always in constant struggle.
The ninth part, through an interesting story, illustrates the importance of getting carried away.
