From: Master of Health Preservation by Zhuang Zhou of the Warring States Period. The original text is as follows:
When the first minister solved the cow, he saw nothing but the cow. I haven't seen all the cows for three years.
Vernacular: When I first slaughtered cattle, all I saw was the whole cow. Three years later, when you look at the cow, you see the structural part of the cow's body, not the whole cow.
At this time, I saw God instead of looking at him. Zhi Zhi was an official and wanted to do something.
Vernacular: Today, I slaughtered cattle because I got the information with my heart, and I didn't need to look at it with my eyes. The function of vision has stopped, but the mind is still working.
According to heaven, we should criticize and guide the big ones, because the technology and experience are certainly not bad, but the situation is excellent!
Vernacular: I cut the knife into the big gap between the bones and muscles along the natural physiological structure of the cow, and then lead the knife in the gap between the joints, and the knife follows the original structure of the cow; My knives have been bypassed and never touched, not to mention those huge ox bones!
