Sima Qian's comments on Zhuangzi
Tai Shigong said: The Tao that Laozi values ????is nothingness, and changes in inaction in response to change, so the words in the book are subtle and difficult to understand. Zhuangzi spreads morality, lets go of theory, and returns to nature. Shen Zi is humble and does it in name and in reality. Han Zi leads the way and knows what is right and wrong, and it is extremely cruel to Shao En. All originate from the meaning of morality, and Laozi is far-reaching.
Yu Dan, the most influential scholar, film and television planner and writer, speaker of "Hundred Forums", professor of Beijing Normal University, doctoral supervisor, and director of the Department of Film and Television Media, will be a guest. Sina's "Online Lecture Hall" teaches the experience of "Zhuangzi".
If I have to use a color to describe "Zhuangzi", I think "Zhuangzi" is white. If I use a temperature to describe Zhuangzi, the temperature of "Zhuangzi" is lower than the Analects of Confucius.
Octavio Paz, Mexico’s greatest poet in the 20th century and winner of the 1990 Nobel Prize for Literature, was also deeply influenced by Zhuangzi’s thoughts. Zhuangzi’s Taoist thoughts often appeared in his poems and prose middle. The following is one of his poems: The Passionate Zhuangzi Dreams of a Butterfly A butterfly is flying among the cars
Mari Jose said
It must be Zhuangzi sightseeing in New York but that A butterfly doesn't know whether it is a butterfly. It dreamed that it was Zhuang Zhou or Zhuang Zhou dreamed that he was a butterfly. The butterfly never doubts that it flies
Lu Xun commented on Zhuangzi's prose in the article "Outline of the History of Chinese Literature" and said: "His prose is vast. "The work of the late Zhou Dynasty scholars can't be compared with all the other styles."
Guo Moruo highly praised Zhuangzi in his article "Lu Xun and Zhuangzi" and said: "A history of Chinese literature since the Qin and Han Dynasties." , most of them developed under his influence."
The romantic poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty also visited Zhuangzi's tomb and composed an impromptu poem to sing affectionately to Zhuangzi:
Eternal high wind. After a child rests, when will the wonderful way of Nanhua be cultivated?
Who can build a public wall like the Moon Tower on the riverside?
He praised Zhuangzi's article by saying that he "expressed his lofty views and spoke mighty words" ("Ode to Dapeng").
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty issued an edict to confer him the title of "Nanhua Zhenjun", and the edict "Zhuangzi" was the "Nanhua True Sutra". Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty named Zhuangzi the "Miscellaneous Xuantong Zhenjun".
Wen Yiduo believes that "fables became a kind of literature and art starting from Zhuangzi."
Su Shi read "Zhuangzi" and sighed: "I have seen it before, but I can't express it." Now that I see "Zhuangzi", it has won my heart! ’ He once said, “Zhuangzi helped Confucius.” Zhuangzi’s attitude towards Confucius was “yang squeezes and yin helps” (“Zhuangzi’s Ancestral Hall”).
Tao Yuanming, Xin Qiji, Cao Xueqin (Dream of Red Mansions), Sanmao, etc. were all greatly influenced by Zhuangzi's thoughts.
