Zhuangzi Xu Wugui: "Dogs don't take good barking as good, and people don't take good words as good, but what's the big situation?" It means: a dog is not considered a good dog just because it barks well; Man is not a saint because he has a glib tongue. What's more, he is a man of great virtue?

Dogs are loyal animals. Some people say that dogs are man's best friends. Nowadays, dogs can often be seen in noisy cities, high-rise buildings and luxury villas. Most of them are chained by their owners to walk in the quiet garden, or run briskly beside their owners. In Zhuangzi's time, dogs were generally used by farmers to be tied in the yard, which was the guardian of the sheep on the grassland, the toy that the royal family got from foreigners, and the raw material of the delicious "dog meat pot". In ancient times, the greatest use of dogs was to watch the gate, so now there is the saying of "watchdog" Can all those dogs bark? Yes, but their calls are different, big or small, clear or hoarse. Not all dogs are good at barking. However, most of these dogs are good dogs. Shepherd dogs have a natural dignity, and the sheep can always go home safely under their guidance. Shepherd dogs are not very good at barking, or their voices are not very good. Isn't it a good dog? It is. Now, dogs that hide in their owners' arms all day may have delicate and pleasant voices, but in my opinion, they are not as good as those conscientious shepherds. Therefore, I admire those dogs who finish their work silently, even if they are not good at barking.

As for people, it is the same. Not all people who have a glib tongue are necessarily saints. In all dynasties, when the treacherous court official was in power, didn't all those little people have a Qiaozui Zhang? A glib tongue is not the best. A glib tongue can also be used to describe black as white and right as wrong. China's culture is profound, but many meanings will be misinterpreted. Therefore, a well-said villain can use these loopholes to reverse right and wrong. Those who silently dedicate their youth and life may be the real sages. I have seen such a sentence, "A silence is far better than 10,000 grandstanding, a silence is far better than 10,000 arrogance, and a silence is far better than 10,000 turning with the wind." Who says an eloquent person is virtuous? Silent people may be the real shining gold.

Dogs are not good at barking and people are not good at talking. Whether it is a good bark or a good word, it is only superficial, and the real moral quality lies only in the inside. Heart is the most important thing.
