A clever woman can't cook without rice is a fable of Zhuangzi, a representative of Taoism in the pre-Qin period. The original intention of the article is to explain the way of keeping in good health, thus revealing the truth that people should conform to the laws of nature.
The full text can be divided into four paragraphs. In the first paragraph, I wrote about skilled cattle's skilled movements and wonderful sounds. The second paragraph is followed by Wen Huijun's praise, which sets off my master's exquisite skills from the side; The third paragraph is my answer to Wen, mainly about the three stages of my reaching Tao. In the fourth paragraph, Wen Huijun understood the truth of keeping in good health after listening. This article uses a variety of techniques in writing, with tight structure and vivid and concise language, which fully embodies the characteristics of Zhuangzi's article "Wang Yang is wanton".
"At the beginning of the minister's solution, he saw nothing but cows. Three years later, I have never seen a whole cow again. " In other words, no matter who or anything, on the basis of comprehensive mastery, we must first find the door and the road, that is, we must know where to enter, go and turn. For example, learning, such as dealing with personnel relations, is the same. "I meet God instead of looking at it. I am Zhi Zhi and I want to do this." I'm talking about familiarity, familiarity with information, not fixation.
Story appreciation
A clever woman can't cook without rice, which is Zhuangzi's fable of "keeping in good health". The article begins with a vivid description of "Sister Niu". With a strong pen and ink, the author shows his leisurely expression and harmonious movements when trying to solve the problem of cattle. All hands, shoulders, feet and knees are used together, touching, leaning, stepping and touching cooperate with each other, and everything seems so harmonious and natural. "the sound is vivid, and the knife is vivid." The sound of separation of cattle's flesh and blood, the sound of cutting cattle's bones, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, alternating with ups and downs, the sound can be heard. Then he sighed with Wen: "Good! Technical cover ends here! " It is further pointed out that we know how to understand the "god" of cattle, paving the way for the later theory from Syria to cattle.
The beauty of my answer is not limited to "skill". The reason why "skill stops here" is because "Tao" and "my lover, Tao also, skill also." And thus tells the story of seeking "Tao" and being good at "technique" This paragraph is the essence of the full text.
In order to explain how "Tao" is superior to "skill", the article uses two comparisons: one is the comparison between the beginning and three years later, and the other is the comparison between skilled workers and ordinary chefs. At the beginning of my understanding of cows, I saw a complete cow; Three years later, I haven't seen the whole cow, but I know the natural structure of the cow, the gap between bones and muscles and the joints like the back of my hand.
