Therefore, the husband knows that being an official is better than being a township, and virtue and jun are combined. Those who levy the country also pretend to be like this. Song still laughed: the world's reputation without persuasion, the world without love, depending on the internal and external points, fighting for the realm of honor and disgrace, has long gone forever. There are countless others in the world. Although, there are still trees. Fu Liezi rode against the wind, Ling Ran was good, ten days and five days, and then reversed. The blessed don't count. Although this is off-line, there are still things to do. It is evil for a husband to resist the debate of six qi with the meaning of heaven and earth and swim endlessly. Therefore, to a person who doesn't have himself, the God-man is useless and the sage is nameless.
The child is not a fish, but he knows the happiness of fish. First, great knowledge is idle, and small knowledge is intermittent; Big words are hot, small words are Zhan. -"Zhuangzi's Theory of Homogeneous Things"
The cleverest people always show an open-minded attitude; Small and talented people always haggle over every ounce. The words that conform to the avenue are like a prairie fire, which is both beautiful and grand and convincing. Those clever remarks are all trivial nonsense.
If you are on earth, you might as well learn from it.
Second, my life is limited, but my knowledge is also limited. In order to follow the infinity in the world, it almost exists; Knowing what you already know is almost enough. -"Zhuangzi Health Master"
Human life is limited, but knowledge is infinite. If you want to pursue infinite knowledge with limited life, you will feel very tired; In this case, if we continue to pursue knowledge, we will be even more exhausted!
It is unwise to devote one's limited life to infinite study, which embodies Zhuangzi's thought of abandoning wisdom to become a saint.
Third, if the husband's water is not thick, he can't afford a big ship. -"Zhuangzi Xiaoyao Tour"
If the water is neither deep nor thick, then it has no power to load the ship.
From the relationship between the ship and the water, we can at least get the following enlightenment: to ask questions in universities and to do great things, we must lay a solid and profound foundation.
Fourth, there is no phase, and there is no phase. -"Master Zhuangzi"
Make friends with each other if you don't make friends, and do something with each other if you don't do anything.
It is unintentional to make friends and achieve intersection, and help others out of inaction. This is "a close friend who never leaves."
Five, although people have not recovered, the corpse is willing to be replaced. -"Zhuangzi Xiaoyao Tour"
Although the chef does not make sacrifices, the emcee who presides over the sacrifices will not do it instead of the chef.
This means that although a person has not done his duty, a corpse wants to act on his behalf without exceeding his authority to sacrifice to God. It shows Zhuangzi's thought of governing by doing nothing, from which the idiom "meddling" comes.
Sixth, there should be room for thickness and recovery. -"Zhuangzi Health Master"
There is a gap in translation, so it is still generous and has room for operation.
It is the core of Zhuangzi's health preserving theory that doing things should be "natural" and "in a room without thickness". At the same time, it shows that we should understand the laws of nature and act according to them. The idioms "I can't see the whole cow" and "I can handle it" both come from here.
Seven, put out the fire with fire, save the water with water, and the name is more profitable. -The Life of Zhuangzi
Putting out fire with fire and saving water with water will not only make things right, but will increase mistakes.
Explain a way of life with what Confucius taught Yan Hui. The idiom "put out fire with fire" and "save water with water" came from here. Eight, things are nothing more than this, things are nothing more than this; You can't see yourself, but you know yourself. So: he is right, and he is right. -"Zhuangzi's Theory of Homogeneous Things"
Everything in the world has a negative side, and there is a negative side. What you can't understand from the other side can be understood from this side. So, for this reason, it is inseparable from him. That is, two sides of things, no one can live without anyone.
The solution reveals the law of the unity of opposites in the development of things, and it is a denial of metaphysics and absolutism. This is 2400 years earlier than the German physicist Einstein founded the theory of relativity.
Nine, you don't know your husband mantis? Angry that his arm is rutted, I wonder if he is incompetent, which is also the beauty of his talent. -"Life on Earth"
Don't you know mantis? Waving its two broadsword arms, trying to stop the rolling wheels. It doesn't know that its strength is incompetent at all, but it thinks that its ability is very strong.
The allusion to the idiom "gladiator's arm is a car" comes from this and is used to describe overreaching.
Ten, the mountain wood is broken, the paste is fried, and the cinnamon is edible, so it is cut; Paint can be used, so cut it. Everyone knows what is useful, but not what is useless. -The Life of Zhuangzi
Trees that grow on the mountain are cut down because of natural needs, because lighting burns resin and osmanthus trees can be eaten, so they are cut down; Paint can be used, so it is peeling. Everyone knows the useful use, but they don't know the useless use.
Understand that being useful and promising is harmful, and being useless and doing nothing is a blessing. This paper expounds the "useless use", which is often ignored, and contains simple dialectics.
Eleven, spring drought, fish on land, it is better to forget the rivers and lakes. -"Master Zhuangzi"
After a long drought without rain, the river dried up. Many fish are trapped on the beach in the river. They cling to each other closely, and their mouths spit and nourish their bodies (delaying their lives and waiting for the heavy rain). It's better to forget each other in Jianghu.
The metaphor here is that the world should forget life and death and swim in the land of avenues. The idiom "caring for each other" (also called "caring for each other") comes from this.
Twelve, don't be frustrated by things. -"Zhuangzi Heaven and Earth"
Disturb the heart by foreign things (in this way, virtue will be gone)
Tired of not playing with things.
Thirteen, the husband is confused and changeable. -"Zhuangzi Thumb"
A little confusion will make people go astray, and a big confusion will make people lose their nature.
It shows that pure human nature is human nature, while benevolence and righteousness are not only inhuman, but also harmful in troubled times.
Fourteen, the dutiful son does not flatter the pro, the loyal minister does not flatter the gentleman, and the courtiers prosper. -"Zhuangzi Heaven and Earth"
A dutiful son does not flatter his parents, and a virtuous minister does not flatter him. This is the highest realm of being a good minister and a dutiful son.
Soothes the worldly flattery, laments the confusion and hopelessness of the world, and calls for the true dutiful son and virtuous minister.
