Notes on the title or background of a book.
This is an article about the way of keeping in good health. "Health preservation" is the key to health preservation. Zhuangzi believes that the way to preserve one's health is to conform to nature, be forgetful and not be trapped by foreign things.
The full text is divided into three parts. The first part is the general outline of the whole article, pointing out that the most important thing in keeping in good health is to "understand the classics along the edge", that is, to follow the virtual Tao in things and adapt to the changes and development of nature. The second part is "how to get health care", which uses the cook to decompose the cow body to compare people's health care, indicating that life and life should be "because of its nature" and "according to heaven"
The center of Zhuangzi's thought is that there is no freedom to rely on, and the other is to oppose people's letting nature take its course. Although this article talks about keeping in good health between the lines, it actually reflects the author's philosophy and life purport.

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. By following the right path of nature and taking it as the normal law of conforming to things, we can protect ourselves, preserve our nature, leave no worries for our parents and enjoy life forever.
