Is the Kun in There is a Fish in the North Underworld, and Its Name is Kun a whale?

It's supposed to be a whale.

Already, there has long been a history of whales, called Kun, there are whale salamanders, from Bangu.

In the beginning, it was called "whales".

The ancients always believed that the whale was a fish, but it was actually a mammal.

Most of them inhabit shallow seas, some species inhabit freshwater, in order to be able to live underwater, cetaceans forelimbs evolved into fins, hind limbs degenerated, and gave birth to tail fins, nostrils grow on the head, need to breathe through the water at certain intervals, but the hearing is very good, very small sounds can be heard, cetaceans have undergone great changes in physiology and structure in order to facilitate life in the water. Cetaceans are distinctly different from any other mammal.

subjects, so it has been listed separately for a long time.

Kunpeng. The name was first ** in "Easy Talk".

In a book, in ancient times, the North Underworld was the North Sea, which is equivalent to a far away place, and it was thought that the Kun was a big fish such as a big fish, that is, the big fish in the North Sea, and the big fish in the sea was the whale today, that is to say, the ancients saw that Kunpeng was a whale, although it was a bit suspenseful, but it was true, only because the ancients had less knowledge, so they wrote some very common things more strangely, giving people a sense of mystery, but through the facts, The ancients were indeed very smart, and it was indeed not easy to discover these wonderful creatures without being able to investigate.

Up to the fish of the North Underworld, down to the Shu and the dove, in the Zhuangzi Xiaoyao said that the record is also very magical, everything is changing, everything is changeable, from the appearance of the Kun has a dorsal fin, It seems to be closer to the fish, no wonder the ancients thought it was a big fish, and did not know that it was a whale, and its swimming speed was very fast, which also corroborated the saying that the Kun swims fast, the Kun seems to live in fresh water, which is similar to the habits of the whale, in short, according to these information, the Kun is said to be a whale, Of course, I personally think this is the most reasonable explanation, but according to historical records, it is very similar to whales.

No, Kun is one of the mythical beasts in ancient times, and there has been the word Kunpeng since ancient times, which shows that Kunpeng is the same huge and fast existence as Dapeng, and it can be said that it is like a whale in size, but it is not a whale.

No, this is just Zhuangzi's fantasy, in his pen, Kun is "so big, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is", "90,000 miles to the top", and the largest whale in the world is the blue whale, only meters, so Kun is not a whale.

It shouldn't be a whale, there is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is; From this, it can be seen that the kun is much larger than the whale, and it is a legendary creature, and it is a kind of exploration of the unknown by people.

It shouldn't be, the Kun described in "Getaway" should be an imaginary animal, "turned into a bird, its name is Peng, Peng's size, I don't know how many thousands of miles." "This kun can also transform into a bird and fly into the sky, and it is definitely not a whale.

Turned into a bird, its name is Peng, Peng's big, need two barbecue grills, a polysaccharide, a slightly spicy, a bottle of snowflakes, let us brave the world.

The original sentence is from Zhuangzi's "Leisurely Travel", and its original text is "There is a fish in the north of the underworld, and its name is Kun." The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is; Turned into a bird, its name is Peng.

Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Flying in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. "Describe it as very, very big.

<>Wandering Away" is the first part of the Zhuangzi, which can be used as a representative of the book "Zhuangzi" ideologically and artistically. The theme of "Getaway" is the pursuit of an absolutely free outlook on life, and the author believes that only by forgetting the boundaries of things and self, reaching the realm of selflessness, meritlessness, and namelessness, and swimming in infinity without anything to rely on, is the real "Getaway". The article first expounds the difference between "small" and "big" through the comparison between Dapeng and small animals such as lizard and dove.

On this basis, the author pointed out that whether it is the Shu and the Xue Dove who are not good at flying, or the Dapeng that can fly to an altitude of 90,000 miles with the help of the wind, or even the columns that can fly against the wind, they are all "treated" and not free, thus leading to and expounding the truth that "no one has self, no god has no merit, and no saint has no name". At the end of the article, through the debate between Huizi and Zhuangzi's "useful" and "useless", it is explained that only by not being used by the world can we be "free". The whole text is rich in imagination, novel in conception, bizarre in the majestic, unbridled in the ocean, and full of romantic spirit between the lines.

The meaning of this sentence is: There is a fish in the sea in the north, and its name is Kun. The size of the kun is not known to be thousands of miles large. It changed into a bird, and its name was Peng. Peng's back, I really don't know how long it will be thousands of miles.

"There is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun"From:

There are fish in the North Underworld.

Author] Zhuang Zhou [Dynasty] Pre-Qin.

"There is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is KunThe Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is; Turned into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Flying in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky.

It is a bird, and the sea will migrate to the south. The Southern Hades, the Heavenly Pond also. Those who are "Qi Harmony" are also strangers.

The words of "Harmony" said: "Pengzhi migrated to the south of the underworld, the water hit three thousand miles, the one who swayed up ninety thousand miles, and the one who went to rest in June." "Wild horses, dust, and creatures.

The firmament of the sky, its good and evil? Far away and unreachable? It is also under its sight, and if it is, it is already gone.

And the accumulation of water is not thick, so its negative boat is also weak. Cover the cup of water on the top of the col hall, then the mustard is the boat, and the cup is glued, the water is shallow and the boat is big. If the accumulation of wind is not thick, then its negative wings are also weak.

Therefore, 90,000 miles, the wind is below, and then it is now the wind; Carrying the blue sky, and Mo Zhi is dying, and then it is now Tu Nan. Shu and Xueyu laughed and said: "I decided to fly, grab the elm fang and stop, the time is not coming, but the control is just on the ground, and Xi is 90,000 miles to the south?"

Those who are suitable for the reckless, three meals are reversed, and the stomach is still true; Those who are suitable for 100 miles will be fed with food; For those who are suitable for thousands of miles, gather grain in March. What do you know about the second worm!

Small knowledge is not as good as big knowledge, and small years are not as good as big years. Do you know what it is? The fungus does not know the obscurity, the cockroach does not know the spring and autumn, and this small year is also.

There are spirits in the south of Chu, with 500 years old as spring and 500 years old as autumn; In ancient times, there was a big chun, with 8,000 years old as spring, 8,000 years old as autumn, this big year also. And Peng Zu has heard about it for a long time, and everyone is sad! Tang Zhizhi is also a thorn.

In the north of poverty, there are those who have the Stygian Sea, and the Tianchi is also. There is a fish, which is thousands of miles wide, and there is no one who knows its cultivators, and its name is Kun. There is a bird, its name is Peng, the back is like Mount Tai, the wings are like the clouds of the sky, the one who shakes the horns of the sheep and goes up is 90,000 miles, the clouds are absolutely airy, the blue sky is negative, and then the south is the south, and the south is also suitable for the south.

Reprimanded the bird with a smile and said: "He is also Xi Shi? I leapt up, but I flew down a few feet, soaring between the basils, and this also flew to the top.

And he is also Xi Shi? "This is a small and big argument.

Therefore, the husband knows that he is an official, he is better than a township, and he is a monarch with virtue, and he who conquers a country, he regards himself as the same. And Song Rongzi still smiled. And the world's reputation is not persuaded, the world is not not frustrated, the distinction between inside and outside, and the state of honor and disgrace is already over.

He is in the world, and he is not counted. Although, there are still no trees. Fu Liezi walked against the wind, and he was good, and there were five days in ten and then reversed.

He is not counted in the blessed one. Although this is not to be done, there is still something to be treated. If the husband takes advantage of the righteousness of heaven and earth, and the argument of the six qis, and swims in infinity, he will be evil?

Therefore, it is said: To man without self, God and man without merit, saint without name.

Kun, the legendary big fish, lives in the deep sea in the north - the North Underworld.

In ancient Chinese literature, the earliest record of Kun is "Liezi Tangwen". The text said: "In the north of the end of the north, there is the Minghai Sea, the Tianchi is also, there is a fish, its width is thousands of miles, its length is called Yan, and its name is Kun." ”

This legend is also quoted in the later Zhuangzi. Zhuang Zhou said in his "Zhuangzi Getaway": "There is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is; ‘’

It may be that the whale is just that the ancients exaggerated their size.

There are fish in the North Underworld, which generally refers to a leisurely swim (the first chapter of the Zhuangzi).

The Getaway is the first article of the Zhuangzi, which represents the philosophical ideas of Zhuangzi in a concentrated manner. "Leisurely travel" is Zhuangzi's ideal of life and the core content of Zhuangzi's theory of life. "Leisurely travel" refers to "swimming endlessly without waiting for anything", having no dependence on worldly things, becoming one with nature, and swimming freely in the world without any constraints.

In Zhuangzi, "leisure" refers to the greatest spiritual freedom that a person achieves beyond the limitations of worldly ideas and their values. "Swimming" does not refer to the physical tour, but more importantly, refers to the spiritual tour, after the physical shackles are dissolved, you can naturally wander in the world. Getaway is the spiritual realm of detachment from all things, no dependence, and absolute freedom.

In Zhuangzi's view, the best way to achieve this state is to "fast" and "sit and forget", both of which embody a kind of spiritual freedom and a spiritual retreat of the unity of heaven and man.

The full text can be divided into three parts. The first part, from the beginning to "the saint is nameless", is the main body of the whole text, and from the comparison of many examples of not being "free", it shows that in order to truly achieve the state of freedom, we must "have no self", "no merit" and "no name". The second part from "Yao let the world in Xu You" to "lose its world", closely followed by the previous part of the further elaboration, explaining that "selflessness" is the only way to get rid of all kinds of shackles and dependence, as long as you really forget yourself, forget everything, you can reach the realm of leisure, and only "selfless" people are the people with the highest spiritual realm.

The third part starts from "Huizi is Zhuangzi" to the end, discussing what is really useful and useless, explaining that we should not be stuck in things, but should be useless and useful, and further express the opposition to actively participating in social activities, aiming to pursue a life of pleasure without any constraints.

The main content of Zhuangzi's thought is to reach the spiritual realm of "waiting for nothing" from "having something to do". In "The Getaway", Zhuangzi uses many allegories to express the connotation of the getaway, exposing the expression of the mundane "to be seen". First of all, Zhuangzi pointed out that the great boat can only sail by relying on the depth of the stagnant water, and the great peng can only soar by "cultivating the wind" and bending the disadvantages, so they are all "waiting for something".

For another example, Zhuangzi believes that Song Rongzi's thought is still in the limitation of "determining the distinction between inside and outside, and arguing about honor and disgrace", and does not completely transcend the secular dispute between "inside and outside" and "honor and disgrace", but is only unmoved in this kind of dispute, so it is not the "no wait" of the true omen Liang Zheng's troubles. Zhuangzi criticized the worldly treatment and put forward the ideal state of pursuing non-treatment, and also pointed out the specific way from "waiting" to "waiting". Here it is:

"God and man have no merit", "Saint has no name". The "supreme man", "divine man" and "sage" here are all the embodiment and combination of the "Tao", which is the ideal personality advocated by Zhuangzi. In Zhuangzi's view, only by reaching the realm of "no self", "no merit" and "no name" can we get rid of the burden of all external things, and experience the real leisure from "waiting" to "waiting".

Turned into a bird, its name is Peng, Peng's big, need two barbecue grills, a polysaccharide, a slightly spicy, to a bottle of snowflakes to dismantle, let us brave the world.

The original sentence is from Zhuangzi's "Leisurely Travel", and its original text is "There is a fish in the north of the underworld, and its name is Kun." The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is; Turned into a bird, its name is Peng.

Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Flying in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. "Describe it as very, very big and sold out.
