A clever woman can't cook without rice is a fable of Zhuangzi, a representative of Taoism in the pre-Qin period. The original intention of the article is to explain the way of keeping in good health, thus revealing the truth that people should conform to the laws of nature.
The full text can be divided into four paragraphs. In the first paragraph, I wrote about skilled cattle's skilled movements and wonderful sounds. The second paragraph is followed by Wen Huijun's praise, which sets off my master's exquisite skills from the side; The third paragraph is my answer to Wen, mainly about the three stages of my reaching Tao. In the fourth paragraph, Wen Huijun understood the truth of keeping in good health after listening. This article uses a variety of techniques in writing, with tight structure and vivid and concise language, which fully embodies the characteristics of Zhuangzi's article "Wang Yang is wanton".

1, Taiwan Province University of Science and Technology, former professor Luo Longzhi's The Essence of Philosophy-Zhuangzi: Zhuangzi uses the structure of a cow to describe the intricacies of the world. People who don't know how to use a knife kill cattle and chop them hard, just like people who don't know the truth, they rampage in the world and lose their form and spirit in vain.
2. The full translation of Zhuangzi by Zhang Gengguang, a professor at Guizhou University: A cook decomposes the corpse of a cow, which is a metaphor for human health, and shows that life and life should be "based on nature" and "based on heaven". Only by taking empty space can we be "comfortable", thus avoiding the entanglement of right and wrong and contradictions.
