An expert who knows cows was later used by Zhuangzi to describe the fable of keeping in good health.
From Zhuangzi. In other words, "being good at understanding cows" is actually a word created by Zhuangzi.
On this day, my technical workers were invited to Wenjia to slaughter a beef cattle for him. I saw him holding the cow with his hand,
Shoulder against the cow, foot on the cow, knee against the cow. The movements are extremely skilled. He put a butcher knife
When piercing the cow's body, the sound of skin peeling off the bones and muscles matches the movements of skilled workers when holding a knife.
It looks so harmonious and beautiful. When he butchered cattle, he acted like he was stepping on Shang Tang's time.
The music "Sanglin" dances in general, and the sound made when solving cattle is also in tune with Yao Le's "Jing Shou".
Wen, who stood by, was shocked. He couldn't help exclaiming loudly, "Oh, it's amazing!
How can you kill cattle so well? "
When asked in time, my technical worker quickly put down the butcher knife and said to Wen, "I prefer to explore the laws of things."
Because it's better than ordinary technical skills. When I first learned to kill cattle, I knew nothing about Niu Yi.
Body structure, what you see in front of you is nothing more than a huge cow. Not until I've been slaughtered for three years.
After the calendar, I fully understood the structure of cattle. When I look at the cow again, what appears in front of me is no longer
A whole cow, but there are many detachable parts! Now, after I killed more cows, I only
You need to feel this cow with your heart, not with your eyes. I know where to cut cattle,
Where not. I can skillfully imitate the natural structure of cattle and pierce the knife directly into its bones and muscles.
Connected gaps, using these gaps will not make the butcher knife suffer any harm. Because I am also flesh and blood.
The connected parts will not be difficult to touch, let alone the big bones. Skilled chef, because
It is to cut meat with a knife, usually changing a knife every year; More chefs cut bones with knives.
So they change a knife every month. And my knife has been used for 19 years. Isn't the cow slaughtered?
There are many things, but the blade is sharp as if it had just been sharpened on a grindstone. Why is this? because
Cows have cracks in their joints and thin blades. I put a thin blade into the crack of the cow bone, which is naturally obvious.
Generous and comfortable. So my 19-year-old knife is still like a new one that has just been ground. all
Even so, whenever I meet a place where bones and muscles are intertwined, I often find it difficult to do it. At this time, I need to be especially vigilant.
If, keep your eyes open, slow down, and polish hard, wait until you find the key part and cut it down.
The cow was cut open and spread like dirt on the ground. After killing the cow, I stood up with a knife and looked around.
I can't help feeling complacent and carefree. Then I clean the knife and put it in the scabbard for later use.
Use it next time. "
Wen Huijun listened to my words and nodded again and again, as if he realized something: "Yes, I listen to you."
This good advice has also learned a lot about self-cultivation "
This story tells people that everything in the world has its inherent regularity. As long as you are willing to practice,
Constantly groping, over time, practice makes perfect, and things will be done very beautifully.
Extending the meaning of the story, Zhuangzi told us to understand nature, make good use of it and serve mankind.
