The first thing is to solve the problem and be the "master" of health care. What is the Lord? In my opinion, this is the principle and direction. If you master the principle of "conforming to nature" and keep practicing, you can live comfortably and well.
Good has no near name, and evil has no near punishment.
The first paragraph of "Zhuangzi-Master of Health": My life is limited, but my knowledge is also limited. With infinity, it is almost impossible; It's almost enough for people who already know! Good has no near name, and evil has no near punishment. The Governor thinks that classics can preserve our health, nurture our life, support our loved ones and last for several years.
This is the general outline of the whole article. First of all, as we all know, life is limited and knowledge is infinite. Different from our daily impression, Zhuangzi emphasized that there is no need to force endless knowledge, and pointed out that the most important thing for health preservation is "guiding classics" and "following classics". Du: Right, right. Traditional Chinese medicine has the theory that there are eight strange meridians. The so-called Du meridian is the middle meridian of the human back and has the function of Du meridian to help yang. "Life supervision" means following the way of nature, so that you can preserve your nature and let your parents have no worries and enjoy life forever.
"Good has no near name, and evil has no near punishment" is the specific guidance given by Zhuangzi. Desiring to be known for being kind is a good reputation, and a good reputation of a gentleman will lead to the idea of deceiving others, which is the bane. If you do too much evil, you will be imprisoned and will inevitably hurt yourself. Good and evil, name and punishment, combine to form a boundary. People's life activities are in this range. If you find a "space" in this interval, you can spend a whole year comfortably without touching the names and punishments on both sides and understanding the way of emptiness.
How can I stay healthy if I know how to understand cows?
This passage is the main part of this article, but it has been familiar in Chinese textbooks since childhood, so I won't repeat it here. Taking the kitchen worker to decompose the cow's body is a metaphor for people's health preservation, which shows that life should be "based on its nature" and "according to the sky", and only by taking empty space can it be "comfortable". Although everything in the world is complicated, it has its inherent laws.
Life is not happy, death is not sad.
In the last part, we continue to use two examples to demonstrate the adaptation to nature. In the first example, Zhuangzi took a right teacher with a broken foot but high spirits as an example, telling people that the value orientation that exists outside the skeleton is what life should really pay attention to and pursue. The second example is that a "chicken" takes ten steps to get a bite, and takes a hundred steps to get a sip of water. It is quite difficult to describe life, but it doesn't want to be locked in a cage. Brave and carefree. It serves to show how valuable the spirit of freedom that is not trapped by fame and fortune is.
Finally, the story of Lao Dan's weeping in Qin Dynasty embodies Zhuangzi's view of life and death. Life and death are only natural morphological changes, life is not happy enough, and death is not sad enough. Laozi said in the fifty-fifth chapter of Tao Te Ching that "virtue is thicker than innocence". When people were still in childhood, they were naive and didn't seek fame, so they didn't worry. And when I grow up day by day, I gradually get tired of fame and fortune, and I suffer from loss. Therefore, in everyone's heart, there is a desire to return to childhood, and childhood is obedience to nature. Speaking of life, let's talk about death. Zhuangzi has long raised questions in the theory of homogeneous objects. Now everyone is greedy for life. After death, he will go to another world and find it so beautiful. Only then can he know how stupid he is now?
Follow nature and enjoy the beauty of life!
