"Impetigo cures cattle" is a well-known fable in Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi used an ox as a metaphor for keeping in good health, and his writing was vivid. There is a chef who slaughters cattle for Liang. He raised his hand and threw himself into the room, tinkling and cutting into the knife, and the cow's flesh and blood separated with a clash. The split sound of the cow and the cutting sound of the knife conform to the rhythm of music, and every movement of the chef conforms to the dance steps and the rhythm of the first movement. Liang couldn't help admiring: "Ah! Great! How can technology be so sophisticated? " The chef put down the butcher's knife and replied, "I received pottery, which is outside the technology." When I started killing cows, all I could see was a muddy cow. Three years later, I haven't seen the whole cow, but what I saw was the decomposition of the bones and muscles of the cow. Up to now, I have only experienced it with my head, not with my eyes. The function of eyes and ears has stopped. I just use my mind to split the gap between bones and muscles along the natural texture of cattle, guide the empty joints, and use a knife according to the natural texture of cattle. Even the bones and muscles are completely unimpeded, let alone the obvious big bones. Good chefs change knives every year. They cut bones with knives. Now my knife has been used for 19 years, killing thousands of cows, but the blade is as sharp as New Year's Eve. Because the joints of cattle are cracked, and the blade is not thick, it is of course elegant and generous to cut into the cracked joints with a blade without thickness, so this knife is still as fresh as it has been used for 19 years. Even so, every time I meet a place where bones and muscles are intertwined, I know that it is not easy to start, so I am careful, my eyes are focused, my hands and feet are slow, and my knife moves slightly. The cow suddenly collapses, just like the soil collapses to the ground, and the cow does not know that it is dead! " At this time, the chef stood there with a knife, satisfied, wiped the knife clean and collected it. Liang said, "Good! After listening to the chef, I got the truth of keeping in good health. " Wen Huijun listened to my words and thought of the principle of "keeping in good health". In fact, the words of pudding not only show their own way of life, but also show their own way of life. This vivid story implies two key points: first, Bao dissected the twisted cow along the natural texture and pointed out that the world and its complexity can be solved as long as things are organized naturally. This shows the way of life: don't act rashly and reluctantly. Second, although he is "comfortable", he is always careful when dealing with cows. After solving the cow, although he was "full of ambition", he did not show his edge, and then wiped the knife clean and put it away. This kind of mental vigilance and behavioral convergence is the way to treat yourself.

Zhuangzi told a story of "treating cattle with pustule disease" in Master of Health Preservation to express a method of health preservation. The so-called "blister ding" originally refers to the handyman in the kitchen, and in this story refers to the butcher. The story says: gurgling kills cattle for Wen. When he touched it with his hand, hit it with his shoulder, stepped on it with his foot and pressed it with his knee, he rattled. When he is tired, he goes in and out with a knife. The movement seems to be dancing in the mulberry forest, and the voice seems to be playing Buddhist music. Melodious and melodious. Wen Hui stood by, lost in thought. Can't help but praise him: "Scared! It's amazing! Can the technology of slaughtering cattle be so superb? " Lively Ding put down the ox knife and replied, "What I am after is the truth of slaughtering cattle. Truth is better than skill. I think when I first learned to kill cows, all the cows I saw were incomplete. Three years later, none of the cows I saw were complete. Now, when I look at the cow, I feel it with my God, not with my eyes. When my soul wandered, my senses stopped moving. According to the texture of cattle caused by nature, expand the existing gap, pierce the original emptiness, and disassemble along the part that could have been disassembled. The blade didn't even touch the meridians and cartilage of the cow, let alone the big bone. A good blister needs to change a knife every year, because he uses nine knives to cut meat, and the knife becomes dull after a long time. An ordinary blister needs a new knife in January, because he cuts bones with it, and it won't take long for the knife to become dull. My knife has been used for 19 years and solved thousands of cows, but the blade seems to be newly sharpened. You know, there are gaps between the joints of cattle, and it is definitely feasible for the blade to pierce the gaps between bones and swim around the blade. Because of this, 19 years have passed, and my blade is still as new. Although I am so skilled, whenever the blade reaches the intersection of joints or meets a difficult cow, I keep telling myself to be careful, keep my eyes on it, operate it slowly, stir it gently with a knife, and then untie it with a clash, just like pulling seedlings on the ground. Whenever this happens, I will raise my knife, look around and be proud of my superb skills. Then gently wipe the knife with a cloth and collect records. " Wen Huijun sighed after listening: "That's great! After listening to you, I understand the truth of keeping in good health. " Ding is trying to understand the truth of raising cattle, but Wen says he knows how to keep fit. The reason for saying this is that keeping in good health is similar to driving cattle, that is, don't do anything harmful to yourself. The so-called self is to solve the cow, that is, the blade; For health, that is the body. If you want to keep the blade sharp for a long time, don't touch the hard bones of cattle, just like a bubble knife. The knife used in Bubble Ding is as good as new after ten years, because it never touches those hard bones, even the soft bones and meridians, but just walks through the original space of cattle. Walking along the original hollow body of the cow can not only untie the cow smoothly, but also damage the blade. It's called letting nature take its course. By the same token, if the human body wants to be eternal, it should not touch those hard things that hurt itself, but should act in those hard things. These hard things are nothing more than two words: one is the name; One is punishment, and there may be two situations: one is doing good deeds; One is to pretend to do good. If you really do good, you will often forget the hard work and drag down your body; Pretending to do good deeds often leads to ruin. If you are punished, you have done something bad. There is nothing that has done bad things without consequences. If the crime is full, the life will be gone. Therefore, in life, we should not only do good things without doing bad things, but also do good things naturally, never deliberately, not for fame and fortune. Doing bad things and doing good things for the sake of fame is like a blade hitting a cow's bone, which will hurt you. Because of this, Zhuangzi said: When doing good, don't aim at pursuing fame; Never touch the criminal law when doing bad things. According to this law, you can protect yourself, you can save your life, you can serve your parents, and you can enjoy life.
