"Dialogue between Confucius and Yan Hui" is from Zhuangzi's "Even the wisest man is foolish", and the original text is as follows:
Yan Hui said, "It's good for you." Zhong Ni said, "What is it?" He said, "I will forget benevolence and righteousness." Yue: "Yes, but not yet."
When he looked again, he said, "It's good to be back." Yue: "What is it?" Say, "forget the music!" " Yue: "Yes, but not yet."
When he looked again, he said, "It's good to be back!" Yue: "What is it?" He said, "Sit down and forget." Zhong Ni suddenly said, "What is forgetting?" Yan Hui said, "If you have a broken limb, you will know it. It's the same as Datong. This is called sitting and forgetting. " Zhong Ni said: "If we are the same, there will be no goodness, but if we are changeable, it is not eternal. If it is benign! Qiu also asks you to come back later. "
The translation of this classical Chinese is as follows:
Yan Hui said, "I have made progress."
Confucius said, "What does progress mean?"
Yan Hui said, "I forgot benevolence and righteousness."
Confucius said, "Not bad, but not enough."
A few days later, Yan Hui saw Confucius again and said, "I have made progress again."
Confucius said, "What does progress mean?"
Yan Hui said, "I forgot all about the music."
Confucius said, "Not bad, but not enough."
A few days later, Yan Hui saw Confucius again and said, "I have made progress."
Confucius said; "What do you mean by progress?"
Yan Hui said, "I forgot."
Confucius said, "What do you mean by sitting and forgetting?"
Yan Hui said: "I let go of my body, put aside my sight and hearing, lost my consciousness of myself and things, and fully understood everything. This is what I call forgetting. "
Confucius sighed: "When you understand everything, you have no preference. When you participate in change, you are no longer dominated by anyone." You are really a saint, please allow me to follow in your footsteps. "
