After reading this article, I was not only amazed at my superb skills in understanding cows, but also realized something from this article.

"I understand for the text. Hands on it, feet on it, knees awkward, naturally playing with a knife. It is a baritone: the dance of the mulberry forest is the meeting of the first menstruation. "

Why can my understanding of cattle reach such a level?

First of all, he must specialize in this job for a long time, which is the external reason why he understands that the skill of cattle can reach this level. It can be seen that we can't ignore the external objective conditions when studying anything. The story of "Three Movements in Meng Mu" proves that Meng Mu attaches great importance to the external objective conditions of her son's environment. Don't the words "near Zhu Zhechi, near Mexico and black" also explain this truth? Of course, there are also "out of the mud but not stained". But generally speaking, whether for people or things, we should consider external objective conditions. The slogan of "unconditional going" has been proved wrong by the "Bohai No.2 Incident". I don't think a person who has been engaged in this job for a long time can have such skills.

As the saying goes, "Rome was not built in a day." This is another factor, that is, the internal factor, which makes it "easy" for me to understand the skills of cattle. Because of long-term understanding of cattle, repeated practice, continuous accumulation of experience, understanding and mastering the internal laws of cattle, so you can "be comfortable."

Therefore, no matter what you do, there is a step-by-step process, and only by well understanding and mastering the internal laws of things. Xunzi's article "Encouraging Learning" talks about the importance of "product" and also illustrates this truth! Just like some people get better or worse in real life, it is not a "day's work."

"Everything in the world is unreasonable." Everything has its own laws, regardless of human will. We should be as good at mastering and understanding the laws of things as we know cows, and we should not violate them.

According to legend, Dayu, a sage who was good at water control in ancient China, made floods from all over the country flow into the sea according to the law of water flow, and achieved success in water control, which was praised by the world.

But before Dayu, Dayu's father violated the law of water flow and blocked water everywhere, which led to flooding, and the disaster did not weaken, and the water control failed.

Everything on the earth is affected by gravity, which is called the law of universal gravitation in physics. This is an objective law discovered by Newton according to the reason why apples fall to the ground, and it is independent of human will.

Because of this law, water will inevitably flow from high to low, so people use this law to carry out hydropower generation or diversion irrigation for the benefit of mankind.

Dayu succeeded in water control because the water control method he adopted conformed to the law of water flow, while Dayu's father violated the law and adopted the wrong water control method, which led to the failure of water control.

So everything should be done according to the law, conform to the laws of nature, and don't go against the laws of nature.

It is said that life is complicated, so there are many works on the market to guide how to live scientifically and artistically, but in fact, the instructors still feel complicated after reading it, because the cases of life have changed too much.

Some people think life is simple, but they think life is complicated because they want it. As long as they are not complicated, there is not so much burden in their minds. As long as it is not complicated, others generally disdain to wrestle with simple people. But this almost soon proved to be a fable, because the present society itself is not a simple society.

Think about how to become an expert. Cows are undoubtedly very complicated. How can we understand a cow? Why can I go down with a knife and put it in place easily and simply? What is the reason? Because we have mastered its mechanism. Cattle and cattle are different, of course, but the mechanism is the same regardless of China cattle and American cattle; Everyone's life also has its own characteristics, and the basic principles are similar. Because I am familiar with the mechanism of cattle, I naturally know where to operate. So is life. If we can thoroughly understand and understand the truth of life and find out the rules, we can achieve the goal of having cows but not cows, just like my skilled workers, and we can simplify the complex and really relax.

The moral of this passage is as follows:

Zhuangzi believes that human life is limited and knowledge is infinite. It is a dangerous thing if we pursue infinite knowledge with limited life. (But at the same time, it should be pointed out that Zhuangzi himself is an extreme relativist, that is to say, in his thoughts, beauty is ugliness, and ugliness is beauty. So his thoughts can't be completely used as a reference for real life)
