What does it mean to study Zhuangzi's second book, The Theory of Everything, 046, Changing Orders?
The theory of homogeneous things is that it is obviously one but not the same, that is to say, three times. What is "Tide III"? Yue: sniper [j ū] Gong (1) Fu Qi (xù), Yue: chop and change. All the snipers are angry. Say: However, it is changeable. Everyone is very happy. It is also because the name is not worthy of the name and it is used angrily. Therefore, sage and (2) right and wrong, Tianjun (jūn)(3) are two lines.

Note (1) Law: Law. God: Self-consciousness

(2) Sniper: monkey. Sniper: A person who keeps monkeys. Bitter: acorns. Fu: Explain feeding.

(3) Harmony: blending and mixing. "Harmony without difference" means "Harmony without difference", which confuses right and wrong.

(4) Tianjun: that is, natural harmony.

(5) Two lines: things and me, that is, the spiritual world of nature and self, can all be in their proper places and develop on their own.

If you try your best to be stubborn and don't know that things are one, what is "pro-three"? There is a monkey keeper who feeds monkeys with acorns. At first, he fed four in the morning and three at night. One day, the monkey keeper suddenly said to the monkeys, "From tomorrow on, each monkey will give three acorns in the morning and four at night." All the monkeys are anxious. Then he said, "Four in the morning and three in the evening." All the monkeys are happy. The name and actual number of acorns have not changed, but the monkey's mood is different. This is because the monkey breeder turned "three times" into "three times" and satisfied the monkeys by changing the order of how much to feed. Therefore, the sage can reconcile right and wrong, and he can conform to the environment of all things. This is the "two lines", that is, the natural world and the spiritual world of the self can develop independently.

Zhuangzi thinks that people who keep monkeys are like smart people who understand everything as a whole, while monkeys are like stubborn people in the secular world. Many of us are like these monkeys played by smart people. Different positions, different profits, different emotions! When people call you an asshole, you will be very angry, but in fact you are not hurt at all. If you are easily influenced by illusions, you will be played like a monkey. This is the truth of chop and change, "the name is not true" and "the feelings are different".

Son, you said to give him five cookies, and he said no, so you asked him, "How many cookies do you want?" I want six. Children feel very happy when they take six, but we adults feel that taking one more is almost the same as taking one less. Why can't we understand? In fact, what we don't know is ourselves.
