Original text of health preservation

Knowing cattle by skillful hands was originally used to describe the butcher's superb skill in killing cattle, and was later quoted and modified by Zhuangzi, revealing a method of keeping in good health. Zhuangzi believes that people should find ways to adapt to society and avoid all kinds of contradictions in real life, so as not to be hurt.

The master of keeping in good health is an article by Zhuang Zhou, a philosopher and writer in the Warring States Period, which is contained in Zhuangzi's Inner Chapter. This is an article about the way of keeping in good health, which is divided into three parts: the first part is the general outline of the whole article, pointing out that the most important thing of keeping in good health is to uphold the virtual way in things and conform to the changes and development of nature; The second part uses the story of knowing how to treat cows to compare people's health, which shows that people should follow the laws of things in life and avoid the entanglement of right and wrong and contradictions; The third part explains the sage's attitude towards life, that is, not indulging in things, advancing with the times, swimming in his heart, advancing with the times, being poor in his righteousness, doing his best, and even dying.
