Original text:
So, what you can't get in its cage is nothing. Intermediary painting is not a reputation outside; Xu Mi climbed high without fear, but he came back from the dead. Husband forgets people and doesn't give feedback. He forgets people because he thinks that heaven and man are dead.
Therefore, those who respect it but don't like it, and those who insult it but don't get angry are just people like heaven and earth. Angry but not angry, you will be angry because you are not angry; Doing nothing is doing nothing. If you want to be quiet, you will be quiet, and if you think about God, you will be happy and promising. Think because of necessity, necessity and the like, the way of a saint.
Vernacular translation:
Therefore, without winning the hearts of the people, there will be no success. People who cut off their feet don't want to decorate because they have put their reputation aside; Prisoners climb high without fear because they have forgotten life and death. People who are unwilling to reciprocate and forget others, but can forget others, can be called "heaven and man" who conform to nature and forget human nature.
Therefore, only those who respect him but don't feel happy and insult him but don't get angry can do so. If you are angry, but you don't mean to be angry, then anger comes from not being angry; If you do something, but you don't want to do it, you will do it because of carelessness.
If you want to be quiet, you must have a peaceful atmosphere. If you want to be quiet, you must conform to your thoughts. Even if you do something, you should handle it properly and do everything. All you have to do is be a saint.

The whole article covers many aspects, such as learning from nature, advocating inaction discussion, cognitive discussion difficulty, and difficulty in distinguishing right from wrong, but most paragraphs are still discussing health preservation. The full text can be roughly divided into five parts.
The first part describes the conversation between Geng Sangchu and his disciples, pointing out that everything has its natural laws, and politicians can only follow the "Heaven". As for Yao Shun's practice, it can only make people "rub against each other" and social unrest will occur.
The second part explains the way of keeping in good health through Lao Dan Tan, that is, the attitude of "walking with snakes", "being careless and disheartened" and "doing nothing in response to things". The third book, Mind Makes it Work, is about keeping a calm mind and pointing out that you can't let foreign things disturb your "gv 10".
The fourth part, from "classmate pigeon" to discuss the generation and change of all things, discuss the limitations of human understanding, and explain that right and wrong are eternal and can be transferred and changed. The rest is the fifth part, which comes back to discuss self-cultivation, points out many disturbing situations, and summarizes the way of keeping in good health as the basic requirements of "calming the spirit" and "contentment".
