Random Thoughts on Zhuangzi 1 Four Lectures on Zhuangzi are divided into four chapters, each of which is supported by fragments from the original text of Zhuangzi, mainly explaining the principles, fate, heaven, people, forgetting, wandering, emptiness and manFronie.
I think the genius of the author lies in that many people interpret Zhuangzi's "forgetting" and "emptiness" as returning to the original state and chaotic world, blending with everything, and that's all, while Jean-Fran? ois Jean Fran?ois Billeter goes further (I don't know if this step is right or wrong), emphasizing the changes brought by emptiness and chaos and the ability of self-renewal and self-shaping, so that the reciprocating subject can redefine the relationship with himself, others and the world. The metaphor I think of is clay. Jean Franois Jean Fran?ois Billeter not only emphasized that the clay that has been shaped into a vase should be pinched back to its original spherical shape, but also emphasized that the clay can be reshaped into snakes, bells and rabbits after the ball is pinched back.
Another genius of the author is that he proposed that Zhuangzi's emptiness or chaos does not refer to the universe, but refers to the body, the body (rather than the so-called independent operation of mind and spirit is the guarantee of autonomy). I still have doubts about this concept. Maybe I haven't fully understood what Jean-Fran? ois Jean Fran?ois Billeter's body refers to, but it is really the consciousness's understanding of itself and its desire for uniqueness that separates itself from the other, and consciousness also becomes the other in this understanding (that is to say, on the one hand, people can't speak when they are conscious, and they don't feel when they speak, so what people say is "I don't know". On the other hand, Tao can be "known", and when they reach the realm of heaven, they can "swim", which is what Jean-Fran? ois Jean Fran?ois Billeter said.
Besides, the original text of Zhuangzi, especially Tian Yun, is so wonderful that it is worth pondering again and again.
Reflections on Zhuangzi 2 Zhuangzi put forward the artistic conception of "being a man, being a god and being holy" in "Wandering around". "Free and unfettered" is the highest realm of Zhuang's thought and the highest ideal of Zhuang's theory. The work describes the psychological experience of a philosophical consciousness who goes to heaven and earth to seek the secrets of the universe and then returns tired.
At the beginning, the author repeatedly affirmed the rarity of absolute freedom by depicting a series of concrete things and people at three different levels. By comparing Kun Peng and Kun Ge, the author explained the difference between size and broke the concept that ordinary people can't see the small but the big, and pointed out that only the "supreme person" without me can realize swimming.
Then he created an image of a god, concretizing the "supreme figure" who traveled carefree. Zhuang endowed this god with the most beautiful appearance and the best quality. She is the perfect embodiment of Zhuang Xiaoyao's ideal. Then, he wrote the debate between Zhuang and Hui about usefulness and uselessness, small use and great use very vividly and humorously. Zhuang believes that small use is not as good as big use, and useless is big use. Only by "having nothing" can we be "harmless" and travel leisurely in "nothing land, nothing field".
After reading the whole article, we can understand that carefree travel refers to travel in the eternal spiritual world without dependence and absolute freedom. This reminds me that in real life, people are intrigued for fame and fortune and live in fear all day long.
Or without life goals and spiritual support.
Or pay attention to material enjoyment and ignore spiritual improvement.
The more and more convenient and fast modern lifestyle makes us lose many beautiful pursuits while enjoying it. Some people don't want to spend an hour reading a good book, but prefer to go to an internet cafe or mahjong table for an hour.
Social progress enriches people's lives, but social progress needs strong spiritual civilization to support and promote it. Therefore, when we have leisure time, we might as well pick up a good book, read it wholeheartedly, understand it, be a modern "man, god and saint" and swim in our own spiritual world.
After reading Zhuangzi, I like this book. In reading, I feel the profound thoughts left by Zhuangzi and Yu Dan's unique modern view. Look at those short stories that explain the philosophy of life, sit in the sun room, enjoy the peace of mind and feel the supreme realm of life. This comfortable life is really beautiful.
After reading this book, people inadvertently increased the weight of wisdom and gave them a source of strength. With the growth of body and mind, they satisfied the communication between hearts and truly tasted the plain and implicit artistic conception.
I like one of the stories: an eagle grew up with a chicken, and the eagle always thought he was a chicken. Therefore, when the owner really wants the eagle to fly, no matter how tempted and scolded, the eagle just can't fly because it thinks it is a chicken that can't fly. Finally, the owner said disappointedly, "I raised a young eagle for nothing." I will throw it away. "The master took the baby eagle to the edge of the cliff and threw it off the cliff like a chick. The baby eagle fell vertically from the cliff. In the process of falling rapidly, the baby eagle flapped its wings and suddenly flew before landing. Why is this? Because the eagle's nature was activated and restored when it fell from the cliff, it knew that its wings were useful.
In fact, how many of us have some untapped potential when growing up. That's true. Teachers shoulder the heavy responsibility of educating people, and there are many responsibilities to develop students' potential. Then in daily education and teaching, we should try our best to create a situation to stimulate students' potential, so that students' potential in a certain aspect can be highlighted, and they can be guided and induced to grow into "professionals" in a certain aspect. In fact, this is the way to cultivate and grow talents.
In the form of a book and a character, Zhuangzi's Reflections on the Four Books, with a lively and relaxed style, allows readers to see these lofty ancestors enter the mortal world and our lives, and discuss with us some deep-seated questions: Where is our lost wisdom? Are we too careless to let wisdom pass us by? Has our life lost its vitality because it is full of lifeless information? Should our life be adjusted to some extent in order to get spiritual contact with ancient sages? Zhuangzi, what are you talking about? The book takes the story as the main line, and there is a little life wisdom at the end of each article for readers to learn from.
The first time I knew Zhuangzi was in a poem, which wrote: "Saint Zhuangzi daydreaming was bewitched by butterflies, and Wang's longing for love was crying in the cuckoo". Every story in the book is simple, short and capable, and really fascinating. Today, the thought represented by Zhuangzi lets us revisit it again. For impetuous people, it seems to be a clear spring and a baptism of the soul. Zhuangzi said that whether a person can achieve a thorough understanding is inseparable from his experience and understanding, and I am just an ordinary person. I can't be a man of God like Zhuangzi, I can only look back at him. The villain is for profit, the scholar is for name, the doctor is for power, and the sage is for the world. Just different goals, everyone's life creed is different. But no matter the villain or the saint, they all ended up in born to die. Let's pursue the life we want in a limited life, and don't be influenced by the world. He who knows how to enjoy life is the happiest. The wisdom of our ancestors is like running water. Some people think we should learn from it and dream day and night. Some people see that water nourishes everything and think they should imitate it. Constantly maintain life. The wisdom of the ancestors, because of your thinking, is no longer dead information; The wisdom of ancestors lives in every minute of your life because of your learning and imitation.
After reading the fifth chapter of Zhuangzi, I feel that life is poetic and can be colorful.
Life is like a prison. You may be depressed and gloomy.
Look back, roll your eyes,
Another day. -inscription
Have you seen your life clearly? I ask myself every day.
"I love, tao also; Enter skills. " Technical men understand that cows tell us that as long as we can adapt to external conditions and conform to nature, we can live happily and wonderfully.
Every sunny day, I like to walk in the warm sunshine, temporarily give up my growing troubles, and suddenly find that everything is as simple and beautiful as "Spring Breeze and Green Jiang Nanan".
I remember how many times I had a math class, like listening to a gobbledygook, and my brain turned fast, but I couldn't keep up with the teacher's rhythm. Only my hand has been moving, copying the teacher's blackboard. I remember how many times I got the test paper again, my head was blank and my heart was not cold; I remember how many nights I was in a daze in front of my homework, and I didn't know why I was helpless ... Many times, I really defined my heavy life: a hellish life is not for people.
Admittedly, I have to admit that things always have two sides, just like notes that make me bored and can't be digested in time, which have become my most valuable learning materials; Behind that chilling score lies the enemy I must destroy-the weak link in my study; This is like a problem of "snow in Taihang Mountain". With my efforts to overcome it, the joy of success is irreplaceable ... As the saying goes, "It is another village with a bright future".
Zhuangzi can write wonderful music performances about killing cows that intellectuals think are heavy, dirty and humble, so why can't I regard reading life as a kind of enjoyment? Since you can't change the difficulty of learning, let yourself adapt.
Looking at life from another angle, I know what I should do!
After reading Zhuangzi, Zhuangzi said in Master of Health: "Good has no near name, and evil has no near punishment." Mr. Zhuang Lao's original intention is still unclear, but he hopes this is what he means-for good, don't be so obsessed with pursuing a good name, but for evil, don't be so reckless as to violate it.
I don't know what the positive solution is. I seem to be inclined to two attitudes towards egoism in people's society. Good seems to be understood as altruism, and evil seems to be self-interest. Then, can these two sentences be understood as: altruism can be done, but don't do it for the sake of pursuing a good reputation, because it will be very tiring, and it doesn't rule out that you will lose a lot of life fun or even your own life because of pursuing fame; Selfishness is ok, but don't be punished, because then you will be humiliated, lose your freedom and even your life.
These two sentences should also include factors that advocate individuals' independent choice and judgment on many things, because to achieve' good without near fame and evil without near punishment', the standard should obviously be that the parties draw their own conclusions, not follow the trend or have to do it.
As myself, I learned "My Skilled Cattle Relieve" in the middle school Chinese textbook, which was excerpted from "Health Master". I don't remember whether there are two sentences in that text, "Good deeds have no near fame and evil deeds have no near punishment", but now I see Master of Health, because I reviewed My Skilled Cow Relieve in an attempt to recite it.
Just try it.
After watching "Zhuangzi", I watched Zhuangzi for a while, and I was a little touched. I appreciate his attitude towards life and his otherness, but the sage's thoughts can only be used for reference. I can look down on worldly fame and fortune, but I can't reach the realm of carefree travel. After all, I'm not alone. There is a word called "responsibility". I can operate on a small scale, which is good for my brain. But there are parents in the world who have raised me, and there will be others in the future. Being a man, regardless of talent or status, from raising a family to provoking the country, has a heavy burden. There is also a word called "giving". Getting is not necessarily the most valuable, but giving will make you valuable. "Everything in the world is for the benefit, and everything in the world is for the benefit." The word fame and fortune is the pursuit that the world cannot give up. Although vulgar, it is very real.
Everyone can't be indifferent to fame and fortune and pursue that carefree realm. Zhuangzi lived in poverty all his life, but what he pursued was an open-minded state. Maybe he is happy, but as a man, he is a failure. He can't even solve his own life. Life is the carrier of spirit, and it is not easy to survive. Let alone talk about ideals and ambitions. I don't think the pursuit of wealth is vulgar. The real king wins the world, benefits the world and benefits the people. Heaven and earth ghosts and gods, it is impossible for everyone to become immortal and Buddha. If everyone becomes a monk, who will they have a hard time with? Who worships saints?
Now I think we should cultivate our own noumenon and don't need others to cross it. How many successful people don't care about fame and fortune and live a low-key life? I think they all realized the true meaning of Zhuangzi Thought, but they were more successful than Zhuangzi in life. Perhaps my realm is not high enough to understand the essence of sage thought. I just can't sleep at night now. I'm just saying what I think. Maybe I think too much about fame and fortune, and there are misunderstandings in my mind. The audience can laugh it off.
Zhuangzi: The eighth part recently listened to Yu Dan's interpretation of Zhuangzi, and it felt much more pleasing to the eye, like a spring breeze.
Zhuangzi, whose real name was Zhou, was a literary giant who rose in the Song Dynasty and a reserve army in the Shang Dynasty. He was a famous philosopher, thinker and writer in ancient China.
Zhuangzi's outlook on life is a carefree outlook on life, which seems to be out of touch with the world, providing people with a quiet soul home and obliterating all rights and merits in the world with the profound connotation of "nothing".
Although I have read classic works such as The Analects of Confucius and Mencius, Zhuangzi has benefited me a lot. After listening to Professor Yu Dan's explanation, I have no feelings. She "interprets classics in vernacular, wisdom in classics, life in wisdom, and humanity in life", and brings classical culture into thousands of households and classical humanities into people's lives, which undoubtedly gives everyone a good medicine to improve their self-cultivation and relieve social pressure in today's increasingly competitive society.
Today, with the rapid economic development, Zhuangzi's inaction provides a deeper thinking: man should be a subsystem of the natural system and obey the arrangement of laws. "Man can conquer nature" is a heroic ideal that human beings can never realize. It is more necessary to have a calm attitude towards life and a good mental state, let nature take its course, govern by doing nothing, and govern by doing nothing to improve our quality of life. There is one family in the world, and all brothers in the world are Confucius and Confucius.
Appreciate the realm of "no desire is just", yearn for a spiritual paradise, and let yourself be in an indifferent and quiet happy state every day, which is really comfortable!
Comments on Zhuangzi 9 Butterflies are flying, bearing a kind of freedom.
Is the absurdity of Dan Qing's writing all over the paper clamoring for the pursuit of Tao? It is an impetuosity to the secular.
Lonely for a hundred years, alone, always with a thorough vision and a gentle heart, but never lonely for a hundred years.
It is not surprising that Zhuang Zhoumeng Butterfly dreamed of a realm of flying, beautiful as water and ordinary in appearance.
Zhuangzi is a distant world, never getting old, never hesitating, and its beauty is lost like a peach blossom garden.
Fishing, for example, is not fame, but peace. Even if it is empty-handed, it is still indifferent. At this time, it is swimming in the wind for nine days. Even if he sometimes gets a little fame unintentionally, he will be left in the Jianghu, and the temptation of phase can't stop his singleness and carelessness.
Like sleeping at noon. Most people are not as good as Zhuangzi. Looking at the beautiful scenery, I yearn for it. Naturally, he becomes a flying butterfly, not as sad as butterfly lovers, just to roll up a few strands of blue, carefree and carefree, and floats freely with this "willfulness" and "lawlessness", but regardless of him, his countless wings are his fearless paradise.
When I wake up, I am not in a hurry, and flowers will bloom in my heart, one after another on the road.
Such as sending a funeral, in Shan Ye, drum basin and singing, just send, take care of his wife for many years. Go home, go home, there is no rain or pity. Everyone will die, which is a cruel reality.
However, Zhuangzi smiled, like a baby, pure from the heart. Death is a kind of peace. When you return to nature, you will naturally return to the quiet world. Don't be sad, don't be disappointed, there is a thing called Tao, and there is a life called letting nature take its course.
After reading Zhuangzi 10, it's nothing more than that, and it's nothing more than that. If you don't look at yourself, you will know when you know. So: he is right, and he is right. Right, Fang Shengzhi said (1 1). Although Fang Sheng died, Fang Sheng died; Not for Party B, not for Party B (12); The reason is cause and error, and the reason and error are (13). So saints can't help but shine on the sky (14), and because it is (15). Yes, there are, and there are. He is also right and wrong, which is also right and wrong (16). If there is a kind of fruit, what is it? What if there is no fruit (17)? He is peerless (18), which is called Daoism (19). Pivot starts with (20) in its ring, which corresponds to infinity (2 1). What is infinite, nothing is infinite. So it's brilliant.
A signified metaphor means nothing, and if there is no signified metaphor means nothing (22); A horse is not a horse (23), and a horse is not a horse. Everything is a horse at the point of heaven and earth.
Zhuangzi analyzed from the perspective of idealism that Fang Sheng died and Fang Die was born. The party can't, the party can't. People begin to die from birth, and after death, it is the beginning of new life. Sometimes I feel that what I can do is actually impossible, and sometimes what I can't do is possible.
Heaven and earth may be just a finger in front of people, and everything may be made up of various parts of a horse. Zhuangzi's relative perspective.
However, Zhuangzi's outlook on life and death is still worthy of our taste. He who sees through life and death will lose his life. Other things can also make the rivers and lakes laugh and forget their enemies. Don't care about some trivial things. Perhaps life, even if it is a big undertaking, is just a drop in the ocean for the whole earth. Doesn't matter to the whole universe. Many people can't understand the theory that Laozi and Zhuangzi Taoism entered the WTO after its birth. For thousands of years, China had to learn Taoism and use Confucianism to save the world and govern the country.
Reflection on Zhuangzi 1 1 I read the book Fairy Tale Zhuangzi during my summer vacation, which consists of interesting fables and profound stories. The author of the story is a carefree Zhuangzi, who is brilliant and brilliant. Although I live in poverty, I feel at ease. Even if he encounters setbacks, he can't disturb his inner peace and happiness. This book is full of science fiction and imagination. There are mythical river gods and sea gods, Dapeng birds and boa constrictors in fairy tales, and various interesting species. Reading gives you an immersive feeling, and the scene reappears. I followed Zhuangzi in the book, and together we opened the happy code in the troubled world.
My favorite short story is The Country on the Horn of Snail. The story tells that during the Warring States period, Wang Wei sent troops to pacify Qi for a trivial matter, but was persuaded by an old man named Dai Jin to tell a fable of "snail horn", which made Wang Wei, who had originally attacked Qi, think that the boundless emptiness of this world, whether winning or losing, was only a victory on the snail horn.
After I read it, I was deeply touched. Yes, if you were more open-minded, wouldn't your troubles be smaller? It turns out that we are as small as the snail's horn. Aren't we ashamed that the ancients could have such an idea? It is polite to live on a snail's horn. Think about the whole universe, we are like invisible bacteria, but what are our little things like bacteria? We often worry about a lot of trivial things, which will be magnified hundreds of times in front of you at that moment, but after calming down, we feel smaller and even make a mountain out of a molehill. Relax, try to put those little things on the corner of the snail, and everything will become smaller, so that we can face everything calmly.
Let's read Fairy Tale Zhuangzi together, follow Zhuangzi's footsteps, and find true wisdom and happiness!
Reflection on Zhuangzi 12 Today, I was moved by Zhuangzi's article, only one book.
Zhuangzi said, "How can life and death be shortened? Giving evil is the evil that knows happiness and is not confused? Give evil to those who know that evil is not weak and mourn, and do not know that evil belongs to them? Is it evil to know that the deceased does not regret the beginning of his life? " These four sentences mean: "A person's life is too long to come." How do I know that greed for life is not a mistake? How do I know that people's fear of death is not like wandering outside when they were young, and they don't know how to get back to their hometown? How do I know that a dead man will not regret his previous existence? "Zhuangzi is explaining that life is not necessarily happy, and death is not necessarily painful. There is no difference between life and death. A person living is just "dreaming big dreams" and dying is "waking up". Maybe after death, he will feel how stupid he was when he was alive. Why not die early? It's like waking up from a sad and horrible nightmare and regretting that it has been done for too long.
Recalling the past, Chang Yuchun, the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, was seriously injured, but the famous doctor told him that he could only live to be 40 years old. If it were me, I would be heartbroken, but Chang Yuchun said, "A gentleman can help the world and serve the country, then 30 years old is enough. Why does he want to be 40? If you live for a lifetime, even if 100 is over, it will be useless to consume more food. " Yes, most people in the world are just wasting more food. It doesn't matter how long they live, but I think Cao Gong's "immortal" is incorrect. It is everyone's wish to make contributions, but the eldest brother was born in troubled times and bullied by foreign countries. In order to save the people, stir up the banner of justice and drive away the Tatars, he is the so-called real husband. His life is precious. Although he is only 40 years old, there are10 million people in Lebanon who live by his grace. As sons and daughters of China, can they not be excited?
Life and death are only recorded in one line. You can't choose your birth, but you can choose your death, so that you can live a meaningful and meaningful life. Life is not necessarily happy, and death is not necessarily painful, but death is valuable, otherwise we don't deserve to enjoy it.
Zhuangzi Reflection 13 The book Zhuangzi Class One has made me read it again and again. The fables in the book make people feel that Zhuangzi is uninhibited and has different views on the values of existence. It's really big!
There is a passage in the book that says: "Chu Weiwang heard that Zhuangzi was an excellent scholar and became an official. He asked two doctors to put on a bride price and went to Song State to invite Zhuangzi back to be your minister. Two doctors came to Song State and happened to see Zhuangzi fishing under a tree by the river. They respectfully said, "Please help him manage the State of Chu. While fishing, Zhuangzi asked without looking back, "It is said that there is a turtle in the ancestral hall of Chu." Would the tortoise rather die in class and be enshrined, or would it rather drag its tail and crawl in the mud? "The two doctors said," of course I'd rather live! Zhuangzi waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, I'd rather drag my tail and crawl freely in the mud than be put in a brocade box for class!" ""Zhuangzi is willing to live a leisurely life, and don't be bound by a luxurious life.
We are now rich in material things and have a longer life span, but we have less patience and less happiness. The things we fight for often part ways with freedom. In fact, freedom is very important What if a person lacks freedom, even if he has more wealth? No matter how much wealth you have, can you live comfortably? If you are a slave to money, will you be happy? I don't think so! Just like a bird in a gorgeous cage, flying freely in the sky, which method do you think will make the bird happy? A polar bear is kept alone in a small zoo, or plays with fire companions in the snow. Which do you think is better for polar bears?
From this book, I realized the importance of freedom, so we should cherish our leisure time, live every day carefully, and let ourselves live the meaning and wonderful life.
Zhuangzi's reflection 14 Zhuangzi put forward the artistic conception of life of "being a man, a man of god and a saint" in "Happy Travel". Happy travel is the highest realm of Zhuangzi's thought and the highest ideal of Zhuang's theory. The work describes the psychological experience of a philosophical consciousness who goes to heaven and earth to seek the secrets of the universe and then returns tired.
At the beginning, the author repeatedly affirmed the rarity of absolute freedom by depicting a series of concrete things and people at three different levels. By comparing Kun Peng and Kun Ge, the author explained the difference between size and broke the concept that ordinary people can't see the small but the big, and pointed out that only the "supreme person" without me can realize swimming. Then he created an image of a god, concretizing the "supreme figure" who traveled carefree. Zhuangzi endowed the God with the most beautiful face and the best quality, and she is the perfect embodiment of the ideal of freedom and unfettered. Then he wrote Zhuangzi's exposition about usefulness and uselessness, small use and great use very vividly and humorously. Zhuangzi thinks that small use is not as good as big use, and useless is big use. Only when you have nothing can you be a "harmless person" and travel leisurely in a "barren land with nothing".
After reading the whole article, we can understand that carefree travel refers to travel in the eternal spiritual world without dependence and absolute freedom. This reminds me: in real life, people are intrigued by fame and fortune and live in fear all day long; Or there is no life goal and spiritual pillar; Or pay attention to material enjoyment and ignore spiritual improvement.
The more and more convenient and fast modern lifestyle makes us lose many beautiful pursuits while enjoying it. Some people don't want to spend an hour reading a good book, but prefer to go to an internet cafe or mahjong table for an hour.
Social progress enriches people's lives, but social progress needs strong spiritual civilization to support and promote it. Therefore, when we have leisure time, we might as well pick up a good book, read it wholeheartedly, understand it, be a modern "man, god and saint" and swim in our own spiritual world.
