It is also telling people that even if they have any advantages, there is no need to be complacent. There is also a story similar to the "oil seller": the story of a hundred steps. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a famous archer named Yang in Chu State.
This man was brave when he was young, and he also learned a good archery. At that time, there was a soldier named Tiger Pan, who was also good at archery.
One day, two people were playing archery on the field, and many people gathered around to watch. The target is set fifty paces away, where there is a board with red hearts.
Pan Hu pulled a strong bow, and three arrows hit the heart in a row, winning the cheers of onlookers. I also proudly arched Yang, asking him to give directions.
Yang looked around and said, "Shoot the red heart fifty paces away. The target is too close and too big. Let's shoot the willow leaves outside 100 step! " After that, he pointed to a willow tree a hundred paces away and asked people to choose a leaf on the tree and paint it red as a target. Then he drew his bow and shot it with a whoosh. As a result, the arrow chain passed right through the center of this willow leaf.
Everyone present was stunned. Knowing that he was not so clever, he didn't believe that Yang's arrow could penetrate the willow leaves, so he went under the willow tree. Choose three willow leaves and number them in color. Please ask Yang to shoot them again in the numbered order. Yang walked a few steps ago, saw the number clearly, then retreated a hundred paces away, drew his bow, and shot three numbered willow leaves with three arrows, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Gal, cheers, Tiger Pan also take orally. Amid cheers, a man next to Yang said coldly, "Hey, you have to be able to pierce Yang with a hundred paces before you can teach him to shoot arrows!" " Hearing this man's tone, Yang turned angrily and asked, "How are you going to teach me archery?" The man said quietly, "I'm not here to teach you how to bow and shoot, but to remind you how to keep your reputation in archery."
Have you ever thought that once your physical strength is exhausted, as long as one arrow misses, your reputation will be affected. A real shooter should pay attention to maintaining his reputation! "Yang listened to, feel very reasonable, thank you.
Weng: Zhuang Zhou, my life is limited, but my knowledge is also limited.
With restrictions, there is no restriction, and it is almost there! It's almost enough for people who already know! Good has no near name, and evil has no near punishment. The Governor thinks that classics can preserve our health, nurture our life, support our loved ones and last for several years.
My skilled hands, my shoulders, my feet, my knees and my knife are all in harmony. The dance combined with mulberry forest is a chance for quiet life.
Wen said, "Hey, good! So much for technical coverage? " My master let go of his knife and said to him, "I am a good minister and I am proficient in technology." When the first minister solved the cow, he saw nothing but the cow.
I haven't seen all the cows for three years. At this time, I saw God instead of looking at him. Zhi Zhi was an official and wanted to do something.
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! A good man is a better cutter; There are many knives and many folds in the family month. Today, I killed thousands of cows with my sword for nineteen years, but if the blade is new.
There is a gap between people for a while, but the blade is not thick; Without thickness, there will be room for recovery, so 19 years, the blade is still new. Although, as for the competition, I think it is difficult, it is a warning that it is too late to act now.
The knife is very small, and what should be solved has been solved, such as land. Stand with a knife, look around for it, be full of ambition, and hide it with a good knife. "
Wen said, "Good! I listened to my master and I have to stay healthy. " Human life is limited, but knowledge is infinite.
Pursuing infinite knowledge with limited life will inevitably lead to exhaustion, so it is really dangerous to continue pursuing knowledge! Do what the world calls good without coveting fame and fortune, and do what the world calls evil without facing the humiliation of punishment. Follow the righteousness of nature, as a constant method to conform to things, so as to protect themselves, preserve their nature, and let their parents have no worries and enjoy the rest of their lives.
There is a chef named Ding who specializes in slaughtering cattle. Wherever his hands touch, his shoulders rest, his feet step on, and his knees stand, he makes a sound of separation of flesh and blood, and the knife goes in, making a louder noise. These sounds are out of tune. In tune with the dance rhythm accompanied by Sang Lin and Jing Shou.
Liang said, "Hey! All right! How can your technology be so clever? " My master put down the knife and replied, "I am exploring the law of things, which has surpassed the pursuit of cattle slaughter technology." At first, I didn't know the body structure of the cow, but I only saw the whole cow.
After three years, I will never see the whole cow again. Now, when a courtier slaughters a cow, he only needs to touch the cow's body with his spirit, instead of looking at it with his eyes, just as his vision has stopped moving and he is moving with his mental will.
Along the grain structure of cattle, splitting the big gap between bones and muscles, and making knives along the holes between joints are all along the original structure of cattle. The knife for slaughtering cattle has never touched the place where the meridians are connected, or where the muscles attached to the bones gather, let alone the big bones of the thighs. Skilled chefs change a knife every year because they use it to cut meat.
Ordinary chefs change a knife every month because it is used to cut bones. Now the servant's knife has been used for 19 years, killing thousands of cows, but the blade looks like it has just been ground from the grindstone.
There are cracks in the joints of cattle, but the blade is not thick. If you use such a thin blade to pierce a seam with a gap, you must be generous and have room to operate the blade. Therefore, after using 19 years, the blade still looks like it has just been ground from the grindstone. Even so, whenever I meet a place where bones and muscles are intertwined, as long as I see that it is difficult to walk under the knife, I am very scared, cautious, focused and slow down.
The knife moved gently, and the flesh and blood separated with a crash, like a pile of mud scattered on the ground. I stood there, knife in hand, looking around proudly for this success, looking carefree and satisfied.
Wipe the knife clean and put it away. "The beam said," good! I listened to my words and learned the way of keeping in good health. "
Appreciation of Works: The fable "My Skillful Hands Help Cattle" comes from "Master Zhuangzi", which was originally intended to illustrate the way of keeping in good health. Zhuangzi believes that society is full of complex contradictions, and people live in contradictory struggles and are vulnerable.
If you want to save yourself, you have to avoid "superior skills" and "masterpieces" just to find a gap, that is, to avoid contradictions and seek personal survival by escaping from reality. This negative outlook on life should be criticized.
But as far as the story itself is concerned, it objectively expounds that although things are complicated, they have their inherent laws; Through long-term practice, I am good at thinking, understanding and mastering the law, so as to give full play to my subjective initiative and gain freedom of action. Zhuangzi's prose is good at using visual reasoning.
This fable uses a variety of techniques such as exaggeration, contrast, contrast and description. And with strong pen and ink, literary talent brilliantly demonstrated my skillful understanding of cattle, carefree expression, beautiful movements, harmonious rhythm and natural and unrestrained body and mind. Specifically, the main features of this paper are: 1. The structure is compact.
The full text is divided into two parts, first telling the story (the first and second paragraphs) and then pointing out the meaning (the third paragraph). As far as the story is concerned, it is divided into two layers, that is, from writing "skill" to saying "Tao"
I'll describe my superb skills in understanding cows first, and then I'll explain his way of understanding cows. The writing skills of My Master are first described directly, then summarized by the admiration of the writer, and transferred to my conversation.
The exposition of Tao is divided into three aspects: first, it introduces the three stages of mastering Tao vertically, highlighting the characteristics after mastering Tao; Secondly, from the horizontal aspect, I will compare my master with the good master and the master, and explain the similarities and differences between them. Third, it shows that the thorny issue of "clan" has been successfully solved. This is from general to special.
These three aspects are closely related to the ways of "following nature" and "because of its nature". My answer to the first sentence of Wen is naturally to associate writing skills with speaking.
From the words about how to keep in good health in My Lord's Words, this paper plays a leading role in the whole text and enlightening the Lord.
3. Urgent first paragraph: (The first natural paragraph) Write that Chen Yaozi is a good marksman, and the oil seller praises him.
At the beginning of the article, it is a general introduction to Chen Yaozi. He is "good at shooting", "chinese odyssey" and "proud of it". Excellent shooting skills. As far as common sense is concerned, it must be appreciated by everyone, and it is natural for a shooter to be pretentious. This is the foreshadowing of * *. However, the old man who sells oil is "nine times out of ten" to him, but only "but slightly". Here, contradictions are put forward with extremely concise pen and ink, which creates suspense in the reader's mind and naturally leads to the following.
The second paragraph (the second natural paragraph) shows that practice makes perfect.
Kang Su Gong has always been "complacent", and he will not let go of the attitude of the old oil seller who disapproves of his archery. Naturally, he would ask, "Do you know how to shoot? I'm not good at shooting, am I? " The old man selling oil replied, "No one else, but he is familiar with his hands." This question and answer shows a profound truth, that is, "Practice makes perfect". Kang Su Palace didn't understand the truth at the moment and thought it was a "rash move". At this point, the contradiction intensified, and the old man selling oil had to show up and say, "I know by judgment." It is also proved by concrete facts that "practice makes perfect", "just put a gourd on the ground, cover your mouth with money, and drain it with oil, and the money is not wet." After the performance, the old oilman comforted Kangsu Palace and said, "I have nothing but my hands." This answer is very important. It not only answered "light shot", but also showed once again that practice makes perfect. Kang Su's mind was suddenly enlightened, and he ended the full text from "anger" to "laughing without sending it".
This paper illustrates the universal truth that "practice makes perfect" by taking oil sellers dripping oil from money holes as an example.
Generally speaking, in reasoning articles, we often discuss why it should be like this and why it should not be like that. However, this article didn't say much, but described the answer between the oil seller and Chen Yaozi and the process of the oil seller's action to illustrate the truth that "practice makes perfect". This paper focuses on archery and oil transportation, because familiarity can achieve superb skills, rather than Chen Yaozi's archery. Therefore, Chen Yaozi's Archery only uses four words, which is very short. This is simple and appropriate, highlighting the key points of the article.
4. Continue to write oil sellers in classical Chinese. Since the "oil seller", sharpshooters dare to sigh.
One day, the archer saw that there were few good shooters on the road and sold himself there. . Archers regard it as "selling oil and thinking about it", and it is right to correct the boy's misery, otherwise it is shameful! So, at least on the one hand, it took several years to learn.
The young man looked it up and down and thought it was nothing, so it was very bad. The archer was expressionless and unhappy. He thought, what do you think you are talking about? "I am not good at shooting?" The boy asked.
The archer gave a promise and borrowed it. "Do you know how to shoot?" . "
The teenager stared at it doubtfully, with some thorns in the middle. "mine!" . "
The archer shot an arrow a few meters away. "Not counting!" . "
I didn't believe it when I was young, but I'm not ashamed of it. Archers always aim at the target.
Although the teenager was very unwilling, he still squatted down. He still remembered the archer's shot. "Nothing, but my hands are familiar!" . "
The archer said, "It's not a child's skill, it's too arrogant!" " . "After that, the archer was very happy and thanked him for selling oil Weng.
