Once upon a time, there was a chef named Ding, who was particularly good at slaughtering cattle. Liang knew about it, so he killed the cow and picked the meat for himself.
When experts slaughter cattle and pick meat, their hands touch, their shoulders lean, their feet step on and their knees stand, all of which are pattering and spouting. I saw him stab with a knife and bang, the flesh and blood were separated. All sounds are like the rhythm of music and graceful posture, just like the dance of ancient mulberry trees; The beautiful voice seems to be the melody of the ancient music "Fairy Pool".
When Liang saw this, he applauded. Ah, great! Great! How can technology reach such a magical realm? ! ?
Chef Ding put down the knife and answered:? I know the law of slaughtering cattle, which is a step further than mastering the general technology of slaughtering cattle. When I first started slaughtering cattle, all I saw was a whole cow, and I didn't know where to get the knife. Three years later, I have fully understood the structure of the cow, and what is presented to me is no longer a complete cow. I know how to cut open a cow. Now, when I kill a cow, I don't have to look at it with my eyes, but touch it with my spirit. The function of my sensory organs is useless, and the function of my spirit is active. ?
At this time, chef Ding saw Liang's confusion and then explained:? When dismembering a cow, we should follow the natural physiological structure of the cow, insert the knife into the gap between the bones and muscles, and pass through the channels between the joints, so that all actions can be carried out completely according to the original structure of the cow. Where the knife passed, it didn't even touch the meridians and tendons, let alone those big bones. A good cook has to change a knife every year, because he has to cut meat with a knife; Those ordinary chefs change their knives once a month, because when they dismember cows, they all use knives to cut bones. ? Speaking of which, Chef Ding picked up his knife, weighed it and said, my knife has been used for 19 years, and thousands of cows have been slaughtered. However, the blade is as sharp as if it had just been sharpened on a grindstone. You know, there are gaps between the joints of cattle, but the blade is so thin that there is almost no thickness. This blade is inserted into the gap of the bone, wide and wide, and there is still room for maneuver when dancing the knife. Nineteen years later, my knife is still so sharp. Nevertheless, I never take it lightly. Whenever I meet a place where my bones and muscles are intertwined, I slow down and cut lightly. When the cow was scattered on the ground like dirt, I stood there with a knife, looked around calmly and contentedly, and inserted the knife. Clean it up and put it away. ?
Hearing this, Liang said, Great! Fortunately, after listening to your words, I realized the truth of keeping in good health! ?
Appreciation of Philosophic Fables 2: During the Warring States Period, there was a scholar named Jiang Lu. When King Lu heard that he was learned, he summoned him and asked him to talk about how to govern the country. Unable to refuse, he said to King Lu. Respect and thrift should be practiced, fair and loyal people should be hired, and the government should be selfless. Who dares not live in harmony with the people?
After leaving Lu Guojun, he always felt that what he said was not necessarily right, so he found the famous scholar Ji Che at that time, told Ji Che what he said to Lu Guojun, and asked Ji Che if he was right. Ji Che didn't say right or wrong, so she told Lv Jiang a short story.
Ji che said:? One day, when he was driving out, he saw a mantis in heat. When he saw my car coming, he struggled to raise his arms in an attempt to stop my car from moving on. I looked at him with admiration and pity, admired his courage and pitied his overreaching. ? Then he smiled.
Mantis blocked the car and said in surprise, Mr. Wang means that the monarch of Lu will do as I say to realize the sacred rule, just like mantis car is incompetent! ? Ji Che didn't answer. He said: the greatest sage's way of governing the country is to conform to the natural activities of the people to complete enlightenment and change customs. In this way, people can get rid of harmful thoughts and enhance their ambition to devote themselves to the Tao. It seems to be naturally formed with nature, and I don't know why. If you want the world to be the same as the virtue of nature, you must stabilize your heart. ?
The monarch of Lu ruled the country according to the general's opinion, and the trouble became more and more day by day, even to the point of danger, so he quit.
Appreciation of Philosophic Fable Story 3: The Brave Little Penguin Both the Penguin Father and the Penguin Mother love their children very much. They often go fishing in the sea to feed the chicks. The little penguin lives a carefree life under the careful care of his parents. One day, a group of seals suddenly attacked the penguin's residence. In order to protect the little penguin, the penguin's parents were killed. The little penguin hid in a hidden place, but fortunately it was not killed.
The tern said to the chicken. I sympathize with your misfortune and want to help you. You have wings. I can teach you to fly. If you are in danger in the future, just fly to the sky and you will be safe. ?
The little penguin says, thank you for your concern. But dad said our wings can't fly, and told me not to waste precious time learning to fly. ?
The cormorant said to the little penguin:? I sympathize with your misfortune and want to help you. The most important thing for you is to survive. I can teach you fishing skills, so that you won't be hungry. ?
The little penguin says, thank you for your concern. But my mother told me that our fishing method is different from yours, and I will use my own advantages to fish. ?
Little penguin? Plop? He let out a cry and bravely jumped into the sea. He dived into the water many times and found nothing, but he didn't lose heart and dived into the water again and again to salvage. The tern and the cormorant were worried when they saw that the little penguin didn't catch any fish. The tern said to the chicken. I have an agreement with the cormorant, and we will help you and send you some fish we caught. If you can't fish, don't waste energy here. ?
The little penguin said, I am very happy and thank you for your help! However, I can't always rely on you to help me live. I firmly believe that I can support myself through my own efforts. ?
After that, the little penguin continued to dive into the water to fish. After half a day's hard work, I finally got something. The tern was very happy to see the little penguin catch the fish. He said with emotion. The little penguin suffered misfortune, but did not lose heart. He bravely faced the reality and persevered in the face of difficulties, which is an example for us to learn! ?
The little penguin's swimming and diving skills are getting bigger and bigger, and it has become a well-known fishing master. All his friends admire him and like him.
Don't be knocked down by difficulties at any time, but use your strength and wisdom to overcome them.
