Source: Zhuangzi's Zhuangzi Zapian Jean Wang in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Excerpt from the original text: Ceng Zi lives in the guard, his robe has lost its appearance, his skin is swollen, and his hands and feet are covered with calluses. No ignition for three days, no clothes for ten years. If you are crowned, crowned, you will never see it. If you catch it, you will have the determination. Dragging, singing, chanting, sounds all over the sky, if it is a stone. An emperor can't be a minister, and a vassal can't be a friend. Therefore, those who cultivate records forget their form, those who cultivate their form forget their benefits, and those who teach the Tao forget their hearts.
Confucius said to Yan Hui, "Come back! The family is poor, Hu is not an official? " Yan Hui said to him, "I don't want to be an official. There are 50 acres of land abroad, enough to give porridge; Forty acres of land in the countryside, enough silk hemp; Drums are enough for self-entertainment, and those who have studied the master's teachings are enough for self-entertainment. I don't want to be an official. "
Confucius suddenly changed his face and said, "How nice! Autumn pattern:' contented people are not tired of profit, and complacent people are not afraid; Those who practice in the mainland have no position and are not worried. "Autumn has been back for a long time, and now it is a good thing to see it."
Sun Yat-sen's son said to Zhan Zi, "I am above the rivers and seas, but my heart is under Wei Que. What can I do? " Zhan Zi said: "Rebirth, rebirth is light." Mou, the son of Sun Yat-sen, said, "Although you know it, you can't win." Kanzi said, "If you can't win, just fight with me. Isn't God evil? If you can't win by yourself, you will be seriously injured. Seriously injured people have no life. "
Mou Wei, the son of Wancheng, whose hidden hole is also difficult for people; Although it is not Tao, it can be said that it is meaningful. "
Vernacular translation: Ceng Zi lives in Weiguo, and his robe with tangled linen is worn out, his face is swollen, and his hands and feet are worn out with thick calluses. He didn't make a fire for three days and didn't add new clothes for ten years. As soon as he wears a hat, his hat band breaks, his elbows are exposed when he lifts a skirt, and his heels crack when he wears shoes.
He also recited Ode to Shang with his messy hair band, and his voice was loud and full of heaven and earth, just like the sound of an instrument made of metal and stone. The emperor can't treat him as a servant, and the princes can't make friends with him. Therefore, those who cultivate their minds can forget their bones, those who nurse their bodies can forget their wealth, and those who gain enlightenment can forget their scheming and cleverness.
Confucius said to Yan Hui, "Yan Hui, come here! Your family is poor and humble, why don't you go out and be an official? " Yan Hui replied, "I have no intention of being an official. I have 50 acres of land outside the battlements, which is enough to supply my food. "I have 40 acres of land inside the city wall, which is enough to grow hemp and raise silkworms.
Playing strings is enough to make me happy, and learning what the teacher taught me is enough to make me happy. So I don't want to be an official. Confucius was moved to change his face and said, "That's great, Yan Hui's wish! I have heard:' People who know that they are satisfied will not be detained because of rich profits, people who are truly at ease will not shrink back and worry because they know what they have lost, and people who pay attention to inner cultivation will not be ashamed because they have no official position.'
I have been chanting this sentence for a long time, and now I really see it in you, which is also my little gain. Sun Yat-sen's son, Mou, said to Zhan Zi: "Although I am in the Jianghu, my heart has always stayed in the imperial court. What should I do? " Kanko said: "This needs to pay attention to life.
Paying attention to the existence of life will also despise fame and fortune. Sun Yat-sen's son, Mou, said, "Although I know this truth, I can't restrain my feelings." Kan Zi said, "If you can't control your feelings, let it be, so that your mind won't hate the nostalgia for court life?" You can't control yourself, but you have to control yourself reluctantly. It's called double harm.
People with double mental injuries will not live longer. "Mou Wei, the son of a big country, lives in seclusion in a cave, which is much more difficult than the average person; Although it failed to reach the realm of enlightenment avenue, it can be said that it is a wish of enlightenment avenue.

The significance of Zhuangzi Zapian Jean Wang;
Zhuangzi's prose philosophy is profound and profound, and it is a treasure in China's classical works. Therefore, Zhuangzi is not only a famous thinker in the history of China philosophy, but also an immortal essayist in the history of literature. No matter in philosophy or literary language, he had a far-reaching and great influence on thinkers and writers in China, and occupied an extremely important position in the history of China's thoughts and literature.
Zhuangzi's articles, with peculiar imagination, changeable writing style, full of romanticism and humorous satire in the form of fables, have a great influence on the literary language of later generations. His extraordinary imagination and unpredictable fables constitute Zhuangzi's unique and peculiar imaginary world. "Beyond the dust, strange things happen."
Zhuang Zhou wrote Zhuangzi (regarded as a southern classic by Taoism), which is one of the Taoist classics. There are 52 Zhuangzi articles recorded in the Records of Han Shu Literature and Art, and only 33 exist.
Zhuangzi is of great philosophical and literary value. Mr. Lu Xun once said, "His writing style is Wang Yang's, and his manners are all square. The works of the late Zhou philosophers are not the first. " The famous articles in the Outline of the History of Han Literature include "Wandering around", "On Wuqi" and "Master of Health Preservation". Among them, "My Clever Understanding of Cattle" is especially popular with later generations.
Sima Qian introduced Zhuangzi's life in Historical Records with concise words, but did not mention Zhuangzi's words. The word Hugh was put forward in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that he wrote 10 more than ten thousand words, mostly fables, to identify Laozi's thoughts.
The structure of Zhuangzi's article is very strange. It doesn't look tight, but it often comes suddenly. You can do whatever you want and stop whenever you want. Wang Yang is reckless and changeable, sometimes seemingly irrelevant, jumping up and down at will, but his thoughts can run through. Sentences are also rich and varied, whether they are smooth or inverted, long or short, with richer vocabulary, detailed description, irregular rhymes and great expressiveness and originality.
