Excerpt from Zhuangzi's Inner Chapter and Master of Health Preservation
My master let go of his knife and said to him, "I am a good minister and I know how to improve my skills." 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!
The chef put down the knife and replied, "What I like is to explore the laws of things, which is a step further than ordinary techniques and skills." When I started to decompose the cow, I only saw a whole cow. A few years later, I never saw the whole cow again. Now, I only touch with my mind, not with my eyes. The senses of my eyes seem to have stopped, and the spiritual world is still running. According to the natural physiological structure of cattle, strike at the big gap between muscle and bone, aim the knife at the big gap between joints, and dissect along the natural structure of cattle; I have never collided with the place where the meridians gather and the flesh and blood are closely connected, let alone those big bones!
Technology and economy
Skills and skills are the key to the matter. From Zhuang Zhou's "Knowing Cows".
Source: Zhuang Zhou's "Xie Ding Jie Niu": "According to the principle of nature, the person we approve and guide is great because of his curriculum, skills and experience!"
When people interpret a sentence in Master Zhuangzi: "The skill and classics are not bad, and the situation is very bad", the understanding of "the skill and classics are willing to be good" is often based on Yu Yue's statement that "skill" and "branch" were universal in ancient times, but interpreted as "branch vein"; "Jing" is interpreted as "meridian", and it is believed that "where the meridian passes, it will also hinder the blade" Since 1960s, The Selected Works of China Literature, edited by Mr. Zhu Dongrun, which had a great influence in the field of ancient Chinese teaching, was also said at that time, which affected all Chinese textbooks in universities and middle schools without exception. Therefore, this explanation is deeply rooted and has a very wide influence.
