Autumn Water is a long article in Zhuangzi. It begins with the dialogue between Hebo and Poseidon Ruo, and ends with the story of Zhuangzi and Keiko swimming on the Haoliang River, mixed with the story of Confucius and Gongsun Long, which seems to have no fulcrum and theme, and continues Zhuangzi's consistent style. However, after reading the complete article, we won't be confused, because Zhuangzi buried a secret and continuous clue in it, that is, Zhuangzi wanted to tell us his attitude towards life.
Recently, the school has been busy, and it is inevitable that a little impatience will rise from the bottom of my heart. In fact, when I calmed down and looked back, it was just trivial things, which made me feel a little depressed and increased my admiration for Zhuang Zhou. In his view, all things in the world, big or small, can't see themselves clearly because of the limitation of fate, just like Hebo. People belong to the last minute, as long as they are content with nature and heaven. For example, Poseidon said that the husband does not look down on the big, and the arrogant person is unknown. He also said that the well could not talk to the sea, but stayed in vain; Summer insects can't talk to ice or time; Qu's family can't talk to Taoists, but can only be tied to religion. Now that we are out of the cliff and looking at the sea, we can talk to Dali. Sometimes the fog of life is only in this mountain. When you understand the avenue, you are no longer confused. Confucius' trip in Kuang is such an example.
Finally, the story of Zhuangzi and Hui Shi is not abrupt here. For Zhuang Zhou, rivers are nothing compared with the sea, people are compared with everything, and the world is compared with heaven and earth. They are even more disdainful of striving for the world and fame and fortune, because they are pursuing things that are too big for themselves with limited wisdom. In this way, I also understand that my busyness and tiredness are just a glimpse I am pursuing. Be moderate and control my swollen desire.
But I still want to say that what Zhuangzi said is easy to remind people that everything is life and everything is smoke, so it seems that we can only taste it.
Chapter two: Zhuangzi's thoughts on autumn water reading.
In Zhuangzi Autumn Water, when autumn water comes, Hebo is complacent and takes the beautiful scenery on earth as his own. If we meet the North Sea, Hebo will look at the ocean and sigh. Unless we reach the children's door, we will be in danger and our smallness will be exposed.
Full loss, little gain. Don't be shorter than others because of your own strengths, and don't be jealous of others' abilities because of your own shortcomings. We should know that there are other mountains besides the Five Mountains, and we should keep a modest and cautious attitude towards learning. Only in this way can the journey of life benefit endlessly.
People who are full of loss and pride will never succeed. In a limited environment, Hebo thinks that the beauty of the world lies in himself. Subjective and one-sided understanding makes Hebo too conceited, which is superficial knowledge. If Hebo doesn't change his pride, he will never see the sea and never know his own insignificance. How sad that would be. In study, we should not be complacent about our little achievements. We should jump out of our own subjective narrow circle and broaden our horizons. Only by constantly studying professional courses, reading more meaningful books and participating in more social activities can we realize our own shortcomings.
As for the North Sea, Hebo lamented his smallness. Only when people have self-knowledge can they study and work soberly. In life, we should always reflect on ourselves and not be complacent because of our limited knowledge. In the ocean of knowledge, we should always have a threesome and have a teacher's learning attitude. Pursue true knowledge, pursue a more active life and make life more meaningful.
Modesty is beneficial and makes people progress. Where the boat and the car are connected, the grain is born there and the people are there. Compared with everything in the universe, man is very small. The world is big, but what individuals do is small. Life is limited and learning is limited. No matter how advanced a person is, it is just a drop in the ocean. Only by maintaining a modest learning attitude and a threesome can we have a life of studying as a teacher and realize our ideals in life.

Chapter four: Zhuangzi's autumn water reading thought.
Reading Zhuangzi's Autumn Water, there is a very touching passage, which is copied below: When everything is together, which is shorter or longer. The Tao has no beginning, and things have life and death, not by it. One is empty, the other is full, not in shape. Time can't be lifted, when it is applied deeply, it will make up for the surplus and finally have a beginning. This is the way to reason, and it is also the way to talk about the reason of everything. Things are born, but when they are gathered, they remain the same and move from time to time. What is it? Why not? A husband will be self-sufficient.
It can be seen that everything in the world has a beginning and an end. If there is a combination, there must be points. It has its own laws, and it is not without changes. If you don't conform to nature and deliberately do wrong, you are asking for it. If everything in life can get along at the right time, there is no regret in sharing time. This is the great fortune of life. I have lived in this world for 60 years, experienced countless grievances and grievances, and deeply understand its significance. However, the word regret is hard to find in ancient and modern times. Unless you understand it thoroughly, it is difficult to understand the true meaning. There are several people in the world who can compare with Zhuang Zhou. It's almost the end of the year, thinking about what's in front of me and yelling at the sky.
Chapter five: the feeling after reading Qiu Shui.
If plum blossoms are fragrant in the bones, people are like autumn water and jade is like a god.
The image of autumn water in many poems of later generations has gradually become a graceful description of people. However, the autumn water in Zhuangzi seems to have nothing to do with it. It is a very philosophical article, and it also shows a modest and prudent attitude towards life. This attitude towards life can be traced back to a realm, that is, an artistry of life. How should people handle themselves and do things? In this way, it is not difficult to understand people like autumn water. The autumn water is clear, the water is cold and the pool is clear. The clear autumn waters are as charming and fascinating as the realm of life described by Zhuangzi.
Hebo Beihai Ruo Deng Qiu Shui's distinctive personality characteristics are impressive. From the very beginning, the article set up a dialogue between Hebo and Beihai Ruo, which showed a superhuman' infinite universe' step by step, and then demonstrated the truth that everything is the same with the relativity of size, dignity and right and wrong. To sum up, no one can conan the destroyer, there is no reason to ruin life, and no virtue can die in the name. Keeping without losing violates its true attitude towards life. This attitude is of great significance to our present life.
How big the universe is, how small human beings are. If the arrogant Hebo finally lowers his arrogant head in front of the modest and prudent North Sea. Today, I saw that it was difficult for my son to be poor. I am in danger unless I am at my son's door. My parents laughed at my generous family. I came to your door and saw your infinity, which made me laugh. If Beihai is not a big representative, it is nothing more than Xiao Mu to the mountains, emptiness to Daze, rice to the barn and nothingness to the horse. This seems to be a very simple truth, but busy and persistent modern people rarely calm down and think about this problem. It is often said that the human heart is bigger than the universe, and the universe is as wide as it is. The double-edged sword of science and technology is gradually emerging today, which corresponds to the continuous expansion of human desires. The unsatisfied desires lead to various modern diseases, such as advocating absurdity, reversing right and wrong, confusing good and evil, not distinguishing beauty from ugliness, and even committing crimes at risk. Wren nest in the forest, and one branch, the mole drinks the river and is full; Life is not rich enough. I have three meals a day and can only sleep at night. Life is limited, the universe is infinite, and pursuing the infinite universe with limited life can only accomplish nothing. Instead, we might as well face everything in the world with a self-sufficient and self-entertaining attitude. Don't worry about poverty and wealth, people can really do it: stay or not, sit and watch the flowers bloom in front of the court; Don't be surprised, just look at the clouds in the sky. This is the so-called "God never shuts one door but he opens another", that is, people should let nature take its course, forget the outcome, forget the gains and losses.
This attitude towards life directly inspired countless later scholars, such as Tao Yuanming, Wang Wei and Su Shi. Only in this way can Back to Xi Ci be as indifferent as when it is complicated in space. Only in this way can Wei's trip come to an end, and then he can sit and watch the clouds and enjoy himself, and Su Shi's flying fairy can travel far away to report the bright moon for a long time. In modern society, people are more impetuous, behind which are quick success and short-sightedness. What we lack at present is this kind of meditation and foresight. Knowing this, we can better live in the present and lie in the north window. Full of hard work, but people live poetically on the earth. Mankind transcends all kinds of trivial things in the world, treats life with an artistic attitude and tastes life. In this way, people, like girls, exude a delicate fragrance between gestures. What is not plum blossom, what is not autumn water?
