My master is Wen Zai Niu, and all kinds of movements, such as touching his shoulders and stepping on his knees, creaking the separation of cattle's flesh and blood, and rushing into the knife to solve the cow's problem, are in line with the rhythm of music and coordinated with the rhythm of the dance of mulberry trees and the song of the capital.
Wen Huijun said, "Oh, great! How can your skills be so superb? "
My master put down the butcher knife and replied, "I like Tao, which is beyond the scope of technology." When I first slaughtered the cow, all I saw was the whole cow. Three years later, I have never seen the whole cow again. Now when I slaughter cattle, I get information with my heart, and I don't need to look with my eyes. The function of vision has stopped, but the mind is still working. According to the physiological structure of cattle, chop the knife into the big gap between bones and muscles, and then introduce the knife into the gap between joints. Because the knife is used completely according to the original structure of the cow body, even the places where the meridians are connected and the bones are staggered will not touch, let alone the big bones! Good chefs change a knife every year, because they cut with a knife; Generally, chefs change knives once a month, because they cut with knives. My knife has been used for 19 years, killing thousands of cows, but the blade is as good as ever. There are gaps between the joints of cattle, but the blade is so thin that there is no thickness. If you use a blade with no thickness to cut a seam with a gap, it should be wide and have enough space for the blade to move. So this knife has been used for 19 years, just like when it was first opened. Even so, every time I touch the place where the bones and muscles are knotted and see that it is difficult to start, I am still afraid of vigilance, staring at it and slowing down. Although the knife was light, the whole cow immediately disintegrated with a clash, just like the earth piled up. I stood up with a knife, looked around, carefree and satisfied, then cleaned the knife and collected it. "
Wen Huijun said, "Well, after listening to me, I know the truth of keeping in good health."
The official document announced that he was surprised to see the right teacher and said, "Who is this? Why only one foot? Is this natural or man-made? " Then he said, "This is natural, not man-made. When nature created him, he had only one foot. The human form is naturally endowed, indicating that it is naturally generated, not man-made. "
The pheasant in the grass can only take ten steps to get a bite of food and one hundred steps to get a sip of water, but it doesn't want to be locked in a cage. Although it is proud in the cage, it is not happy.
When he died, Qin lost his mourning, cried three times and left.
The disciple asked, "Isn't he a friend of the teacher?"
The answer is: "Yes."
"So, how about this mourning?"
Qin Shi said, "Yes. I thought Lao Dan was the man I imagined, but now I know he isn't. I went in to offer my condolences just now. An old man is crying for him, just like crying for his son. There are young people crying for him, just like crying for their mother. He invited such mourners because he didn't have to mourn or cry himself. This kind of situation is to abandon nature, add fuel to the flames to secular feelings, and forget that human life is subject to nature. In ancient times, this practice was called punishment for violating nature. When a person comes into this world by accident, it means that he was born by accident and left by accident, which means that he died by accident. Be content with the times, conform to nature, and all sorrows and joys can't enter the heart. In ancient times, this was called liberating nature. "
The ointment burns out when the candle burns. The fire continues without end.
