From "Zhuangzi Health Master"

Original text (selected):

My life is limited, and so is my knowledge. With the limit, I'm dying.

Precautions:

Life is limited, but knowledge is infinite (without boundaries), and it is doomed to fail to pursue infinite knowledge with limited life.

Moral:

Zhuangzi advocated "knowledge/ignorance", that is, knowledge should be clearly distinguished instead of simply saying "the more the better" or "the less the better". By the way, the more you know, the better; By the way, the less you know, the better

Therefore, seeking knowledge is not only a process of increasing knowledge, but also a process of identifying whether the acquired knowledge conforms to Tao and eliminating the knowledge that does not conform to Tao. The "Tao" here can be understood as truth.

The author introduces:

Zhuangzi, surnamed Zhuang, Zhou, Zi Xiu (aka), was born in the Song Dynasty, and his ancestors were the monarch and duke of the Song Dynasty. He was a famous thinker, philosopher and writer in the middle of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Warring States Period. Zhuangzi, an important school of philosophy in China, was founded. He is a representative of the Taoist school in the Warring States period after Laozi and one of the main representatives of the Taoist school.

Zhuang Zhou should not be employed by Chu Weiwang because he advocates freedom. He only worked as a lacquer garden official in the Song Dynasty. History is called "the proud official of Qiyuan" and is regarded as a model of local officials.

Zhuangzi first put forward the idea of "sage inside and king outside", which had a far-reaching influence on Confucianism. Zhuangzi has profound views on the Book of Changes, and profoundly pointed out that "the Book of Changes takes the way of Yin and Yang"; Zhuangzi's thought of "three tones" is consistent with the three talents in the Book of Changes. His masterpiece is Zhuangzi, among which the famous ones are Xiaoyao Tour and On Wuqi. As famous as Laozi, it is called Laozi and Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi's imagination is extremely rich, his language is freely used and flexible, and he can make some subtle and unspeakable philosophies fascinating. His works are called "literary philosophy, philosophical literature". It is said that he lived in seclusion in Nanhua Mountain, so at the beginning of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, he named Zhuang Zhou as the South China Reality and his book Zhuangzi as the South China True Classic.
