Haoliang view fish. Zhuangzi and Huizi play together on the bridge in Haoshui. Zhuangzi said:

How leisurely and calmly the white minnows swim is the joy of the fish. Keiko said, "You are not a fish, how do you know the happiness of fish?"

Zhuangzi said, "You are not me, how do you know that I don't know the happiness of fish?" Keiko said

I am not you, and I do not know you; You are not a fish either, and you don't know the joy of fish and lasan, but you can be absolutely sure. Zhuangzi said, "Let's follow the words we said earlier."

When you said, 'How do you know the happiness of fish?' you just said, you already know that I know the happiness of fish and ask me, and I know that fish are happy on the bridge in Haoshui. ”

Zhuangzi, the name Zhou, the word Xiu. The Taoist patriarch, known as Nanhua Zhenren, is one of the four real people of Taoism. Zhuangzi was about the same time as King Hui of Liang, King Xuan of Qi, Mencius, and Huizi, and died at the age of 83.

One of the main founders of Taoist doctrine. A famous philosopher, thinker, and writer of the Warring States period. Zhuangzi's ancestors were nobles of the Chu State, and later moved to the Song State due to the turmoil in the Chu State.

Zhuangzi became acquainted with his fellow countryman Huizi in the Song Kingdom. Zhuangzi only worked as a local lacquer gardener, and almost retired for the rest of his life. Because he advocates freedom, he should not be hired by the king of Chu Wei of the same sect.

Zhuangzi and Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism, are called "Lao Zhuang", and their philosophical thought system is respected as "Lao Zhuang Philosophy" by the academic circles, and the representative work is "Zhuangzi". Zhuangzi's life period is generally considered to be 369-286 BC.

When Zhuangzi died, the Song kingdom was destroyed. In "Zhuangzi", there is "the old country and the old capital, and the hope is smooth", and it is obvious that it was called "the old country and the old capital" after the death of the Song Dynasty. Zhuangzi advocates "the unity of heaven and man" and "quiet and non-action".

His doctrines covered all aspects of social life at the time, but the spirit was converted to the philosophy of Lao Tzu. Zhuangzi used to be a lacquer gardener, and lived in poverty.

However, he despised glory, wealth, power, fame and fortune, and tried to maintain an independent personality in troubled times, pursuing free and free spiritual freedom. For Zhuangzi's important contribution to the history of Chinese literature and thought, the feudal emperor paid special attention to it, and in the twenty-fifth year of the Tang Dynasty, Zhuangzi was edicted as "Nanhua Zhenren", and later generations called it "Nanhua Zhenren", and was regarded as the founder of Taoism Yinzong Miaozhen Dao.

It is regarded as the incarnation of Taiyi's salvation of suffering. The book "Zhuangzi" is also known as the "Nanhua Zhenjing". His essays have a strong romantic flavor and have had a profound influence on later literature.

"Zhuangzi Fishing in Pushui".

Original text: Zhuangzi fished in Pushui, and the king of Chu made the two doctors go to the first, saying: "I wish to accumulate in the territory!"

Zhuangzi ignored the rod and said: "I heard that there is a turtle in Chu, and it has been dead for 3,000 years, and the king is hiding in the temple." This turtle, would rather die to keep the bones and be expensive, and would rather be born and drag the tail in the middle?

The second doctor Yu said: "Rather be born and drag the tail in the middle." ”

Zhuangzi said: "Go! I will drag the tail in the paint. ”

Translation: Zhuangzi was fishing in the Pu River, and the king of Chu sent two doctors to ask him to be an official, and they said to Zhuangzi: "I want to exhaust you from domestic affairs!"

Zhuangzi took the fishing rod and did not look back at them, and said, "I heard that there is (a turtle) in the Chu state, which has been dead for 3,000 years, and the king wrapped it in brocade and put it in a bamboo box and treasured it in the hall of the temple. Would this turtle rather die and leave bones for people to cherish, or would it rather live and wag its tail in the mud?

The two doctors said, "I'd rather live and wag my tail in the mud." ”

Zhuangzi said, "Please go back!" I'm going to wag my tail in the mud. ”
