An excerpt from the content of the Nanhua Sutra, have you read the Nanhua Sutra?

The Nanhua Sutra is another name for the Zhuangzi, which is divided into the Inner Good Enlightenment Chapter, the Outer Chapter, and the Miscellaneous Chapter.

Since junior high school, I have always liked to memorize classical Chinese. There are two reasons, one is that I think that classical Chinese sounds good to memorize, and the other is that I think that many truths of life have been mentioned in such articles. For example, "Persuasion of Learning" is a friendship, such as "Analects".

Many people have a terrible headache in reciting classical Chinese, but I don't feel the pain, and the classical Chinese is like singing in memorization, and the tone is extremely beautiful.

When I went to university, my major was not literature, and I didn't test these contents in exams, so I naturally didn't have to memorize these articles. Even if you want to memorize it, you just have more than enough heart and not enough strength.

Before college, I often read Western books, and I didn't read much ancient and modern works in China.

When I went to university, I started reading my country's works, and the more I watched, the more excited I became. Now I am able to live a good life thanks to those who have worked hard for our country. The idea that my country is so good comes up from time to time.

Some time ago, I watched Nan Huaijin's "Zhuangzi Controversy", and talked about "Zhuangzi" in simple terms, I know every word, but I don't understand it together, and I can't write my experience if I want to.

I wanted to study this book, but I had no choice but to write an article, so I didn't have much energy.

Yesterday, I thought about it, since sooner or later I have to study it, it is better to spend some time every day to memorize the book "Zhuangzi", maybe before I start researching, some of the contents will have an epiphany one day.

Yesterday I memorized the first five paragraphs of the getaway, and today I will continue to memorize the first part in these two days.

Books such as Zhuangzi and I Ching contain a lot of truths, and they are very deep, and I don't expect to understand much at present, so I just memorize the content first.

When I first heard about the "Nanhua Sutra", I thought it was similar to the "Diamond Sutra" as a Buddhist classic, but when I opened it, I found that it was another way to call the hidden source "Zhuangzi".

I don't know why Zhuangzi's book is also called Nanhua Jing, but I know that there was a time in history when Zhuangzi was respected as "Nanhua Immortal, Nanhua Zhenren", and "Zhuangzi" was also named "Nanhua Jing" and "Nanhua Zhenjing".

The thought of the Nanhua Sutra is broad and profound, and has a wide and far-reaching influence on later generations.

Here are a few excerpts of sentences that I read with great feeling.

1.The world's reputation is not persuaded, the world is not frustrated, the distinction between inside and outside, and the state of honor and disgrace is already over.

Translation: The whole society praises him, he does not feel diligent, the whole society criticizes him, and he is not discouraged, because he can determine the boundary between the inner world and the external environment, and he can distinguish between glory and shame, and that's it.

4.The fungus does not know the obscurity, and the cockroach (hui) cricket does not know the spring and autumn.

If you don't know something, it's useless to communicate with it.
