Who are the ancient columns?

It's the Imperial Kou

Liezi, known as Kou, also known as Yukou (also known as "Yuankou" and "Guokou"), according to legend, was a Taoist figure in the early Warring States period, Zheng Guoren, and Zheng Miaogong at the same time. It is based on the Yellow Emperor Laozi, advocating quiet and inaction. The "Taoist" part of Bangu's "Art and Literature Chronicles" in the Later Han Dynasty recorded eight volumes of "Liezi", which have long been lost.

The eight chapters of this book are mostly folk tales, fables, and myths and legends. Judging from the ideological content and language use, it may have been written by the Jin people, and it was compiled by the Eastern Jin Dynasty people to collect relevant ancient materials, and Zhang Zhan of the Jin Dynasty annotated and made a preface.

Liezi, also known as Chongxu Jing, is an important Taoist classic. Written by Lie Yukou, the date of the work is unknown, and it is roughly the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The book is divided into eight chapters, including "Tianrui", "Yellow Emperor", "King Mu of Zhou", "Zhongni", "Tang Wen", "Li Life", "Yang Zhu" and "Shuofu".

Among them, we are more familiar with "Yugong Moves Mountains", "Dead Fur (fū)", "Wrong Way Dead Sheep" and so on.

Liezi thought that he had not yet learned.

I haven't been out for three years, I have been planning for my wife, eating pigs like cannibalism, and I have nothing to do.

Carved and simple, the block stands alone in its shape.

One after another, one is the end.

There are many instructive works in the pre-Qin fables and myths and legends in Liezi. For example, the three stories of "Liezi Xuejiao" ("Liezi Shuofu"), "Ji Chang Xuejiao" ("Liezi Tangwen") and "Xue Tan Xuezhen" ("Liezi Tangwen") tell us respectively: in learning, we must not only know what it is, but also know why it is; The real ability is obtained from hard work; There is no end to knowledge and skills, and you can't just learn a little and be satisfied.

Another example is "Cheng Shu You" ("Liezi Yellow Emperor") tells us that the old man with a curved back is like a god whose skill in catching cicadas stems from his hard work; There is also a more bizarre plot of "The Wife Doesn't Know the Husband" ("Liezi Tangwen") shows that a person can change his heart.
