When poor, there is no shortage of rice, oil and salt; If you have money, you will inevitably be confused.
Actually, we are not greedy. All efforts are only for happiness, and the desire in my heart is nothing more than calmness!
I was lucky enough to see "Flower Valley" in The Reader and read "I wake up and feel that I love you very much" by Zhou Xiaolin Yin Jie. A clear spring gathers in the sea of hearts and stays there for a long time. ...
Thinking from a distance, I thought of the happy world of Zhuang Zhou in troubled times.
In my sleep, a butterfly came and gently brushed away the dust in my heart.

In the ordinary world, many people's goal is to become the next Wang Jianlin and Ma Yun; The success that most people pursue is promotion and salary increase, marrying Bai Fumei and reaching the peak of their lives.
There is no right or wrong in pursuing the goal, it is nothing more than a choice.
Even if he is as carefree as Zhuangzi, he has been lost in the face of life choices.
He studied the books of sages, but he didn't like human sufferings.
Zhuangzi, 15 years old, studied in a private school in Song County.
Mr. Zhang talks about the way of saints, "loyalty, benevolence and filial piety", opening his mouth to Yao, Shun, Wen and Wu.
All he saw was human suffering. How tragic it is to start a prairie fire, waste land, starve everywhere and numb the people.
Saints also teach people to respect rules and regulations and be kind and polite. Zhuangzi is very confused. Did he really learn these things?
He is alone and has seen local tyrants who show off their wealth.
Cao Shang, an important official of the Song State, came to Meng County to visit this poor intellectual who was born in a declining aristocracy.
He took Zhuangzi to the village to see the hundred carriages he got from the king of Qin. His words were ironic, and he got carried away.
Zhuangzi sarcastically said, "I heard that the king of Qin had acne. If you cure one, you will get one car, and if you cure one, you will get five cars. I don't know if it's a cure or a lick? "
Although poor, I have my dignity and pride.
He hoped for forgiveness, but he was bullied by officials.
Born in troubled times, although Zhuangzi read many poems, he could only rely on picking kudzu grass and weaving straw sandals to maintain food and clothing.
Unfortunately, the weather was bad, and it rained for more than ten days in a row, so I had to have the cheek to borrow food from the supervisor.
Who knows that the river chief said that he had written a bad check, "I will give you 300 gold when I get paid in autumn, not to mention food."
Zhuangzi was very angry. You use far water to hydrolyze near thirst, and I will send you the fable of "Getting Lost", which will make you sick.
Young Zhuangzi was frustrated. After joining the WTO, he learned to be an official. How can he get mixed up with corrupt officials?
This experience made Zhuangzi determined not to enter the official career.
02
Tired, tired and injured, I always want to go out for a walk and relax in a different environment.
This year, Zhuangzi was 23 years old. I heard that the scenery of Chu is pleasant, so I embarked on the road of tourism.
He arrived at the border of Chu and Yue, and was also called the land of barbarians by the world. Mr. Zhang once said: "The wisdom of the people here is inseparable, etiquette and law are abolished, and education is disrespectful."
However, what he saw was really another scene.
People here are self-sufficient in fishing, hunting, weaving and farming, while Tian Yelao and Weaver Maid are singing and dancing at the scene, which is naive and unrestrained.
Zhuangzi is in a trance. This is the life he yearns for!
Just like Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Garden and Plato's Utopia. ...
Zhuangzi felt like a stranded fish in the river, and he was very happy.
Why not stay here and live a happy life? He told himself this.
However, he was just a passer-by when he was young.
Think of people in war, displaced and lonely. ...
Zhuangzi found a new purpose in life.
He wants to spread Naman's lifestyle to the whole world so that people all over the world can live a happy life.
With this belief, Zhuangzi went to other countries.
03
Zhuangzi never imagined that the way of people's livelihood he wanted to preach had become a "psychological doctor" for kings of various countries.
The first stop of his missionary work came to Dewey's Daliang City. Because here is his good friend-Prime Minister Hui Shi.
Who knows, I just saw the wanted order of Xiangfu when I entered the city. Hui Shi wanted to arrest him because he was afraid that Zhuangzi would take his place.
Hui Shi was worried and ashamed, so he recommended Zhuangzi to see Wang Wei.
Case 1: Wang Wei looks like a dog and a horse.
Wang Wei was confused. She got all the power and status, but she never lacked money and beautiful women. Why am I unhappy?
If you have likes and dislikes and indulge in debauchery, it will inevitably damage your health; Without desire, if your eyes and ears are not satisfied, you will get sick.
Only by cultivating natural nature, eliminating evil desires and letting nature take its course can we be truly happy.
This way of keeping in good health, Wang Wei is overjoyed. But Wang Wei doesn't understand Naman's life. Zhuangzi had no choice but to leave.
Case 2: Throw away fur and get rid of troubles.
Zhuangzi's second stop came to Lu.
King Lu said, why are you getting more and more uneasy when you devote yourself to your country and do it yourself?
Zhuangzi suggested that King Lu give up the throne and go to that wild land to enjoy peace and happiness.
King Lu panicked, but it couldn't be done. GDP will fall, tigers and wolves will laugh, and kings will die. ...
In this way, Zhuangzi left again.
Case 3: How much do you know about three-level fencing?
Wang Zhao likes fencing, attracting swordsmen from all over the world to North Korea, and killing each other every day, causing numerous casualties.
Zhuangzi found Zhao and suggested that he cancel the swordsman contest.
The prince of Zhao was ashamed, but he liked Shu Ren's sword, so he mused and closed the door.
Look left and right, the prince of Zhao still refused to meet, Zhuangzi chilling.
Heaven and earth are big, and no one understands me. Let's go home. ...

Returning to his hometown of Mengyi again, Zhuangzi was filled with emotion.
Although he came back, he still didn't like the Central Plains, a land full of war and suffering of the people.
He traveled around the world to publicize the simple people's livelihood in the barbarian land of Chu and Yue, but he was repeatedly rejected.
If you become an official, can you promote simple folk customs? Zhuangzi asked himself and answered.
But he doesn't want to be an official. Chu Weiwang once promised to marry his daughter, but he was "like an ox", because he didn't want to be the hardworking ox, and finally he could not escape the fate of slaughtering the ox.
However, Zhuangzi finally became an official.
In his thirties, he married his wife, Yan Yu, and he was no longer single dog who had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry.
When you get married and start a family, responsibilities come with it.
As a scholar, the only way to earn money to support the family is to be an official and earn a salary.
Zhuangzi's mood is very tangled, but people have to eat when they are alive. Facing the collision between reality and ideal, Zhuangzi bowed to reality.
Hui Shi, a friend, found a simple job for him-a paint garden official.
He is not bureaucratic, and he enjoys working with everyone to process pigments and make lacquerware every day.
05
The life of the officials in Qiyuan Park is very quiet. Many people come here, and Zhuangzi has also received many apprentices.
However, life is not always smooth sailing.
In this year, Song ushered in a new monarch, who was extravagant and began to increase taxes on the people of the whole country. Lacquer Garden, as an important financial revenue of Song State, is naturally not immune.
Facing the task assigned by the court, Zhuangzi felt a heavy heart. Although I am an official, how can I help the fatuous and cruel king fish the people!
Therefore, Zhuangzi resigned angrily and took his wife and disciples to live in seclusion in the mountains.
After resigning, Zhuangzi began a truly carefree life.
In midsummer, Zhuangzi took his disciples to travel.
When I saw a stout tree, but I didn't see the woodcutter cut it down, the woodcutter said, "This tree is nothing but strong."
Boarding at a friend's house at night, the friend killed the goose for entertainment, and told the children: "Kill the goose that can't bark, and then come to look after the house when it barks."
Disciples are puzzled by these two things. "A big tree has no material to grow, and a goose has no material to die." .
Perhaps this is Zhuangzi's philosophy of life.
Birds of a feather flock together. Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Integrity will be frustrated and dignity will be criticized.
Zhuangzi chose a crack in troubled times, which was the original intention of the idea of traveling around the world.
When I said "inaction", it was actually "promising", but Zhuangzi insisted on "uselessness".
Really abandoned the world of mortals, happy and carefree!
06
I am clean, Zhuangzi is free and unfettered, clean first and then free and unfettered.
On the day of his retirement, Zhuangzi deeply realized the simplicity of life in the barbarian land and began to write books based on his experience of traveling around the world.
Zhuangzi is full of humor and satire in the form of fable, which represents the highest level of pre-Qin prose.
However, so far, there are different opinions on its interpretation.
Zhuangzi's attitude towards life and death is the same as Lao Tzu's.
Losing his wife in his later years, but singing with drums and pots.
Hui Shi came to offer condolences. Seeing his sadness, he knocked on the basin and sang. I really want to beat him up.
"Yu Yan will move from my cabin to a big house made in heaven, and she will be very comfortable. I didn't sing goodbye, but I cried, so I don't know the truth of life. "
He's dying. May heaven and earth be buried.
"I take heaven and earth as a coffin, time as a link, stars as beads, and everything can be buried with me."
The students are worried that crows and eagles really ate his body.
Zhuangzi said: "The ground is eaten by eagles, and the ants eat it below. It is really eccentric to bring the food of crows and eagles to the ants."
So he saw through life and death and felt the cycle of life. Nothing can make him sad.
Zhuangzi's life may only be pieced together in fragmentary historical materials and fables.
Zhuangzi is ordinary. When I was young, chasing dreams was frustrated again and again; Unwilling to be an official will also go against one's will; Being bullied will also be refuted by fables.
Zhuangzi is extraordinary. Create the world and oppose the sages in Zhou Li; Living in troubled times, looking for a pure land; The world of mortals, carefree.
I also thought about taking my family back to my hometown to live a simple life, but I still can't let go of my existing life after all. So, I don't understand Zhuang Zhou.
I just want to know the natural carefree state of mind through his past life.
Ask you where the dust is, Zhuang Zhou becomes a butterfly dream!
