You will find that there is no way for you to escape from the net of this world, and people will become even less free. What shall we do? Just watch Zhuangzi.
The Analects of Confucius is pragmatic, the Tao Te Ching is concise, and Zhuangzi is unfathomable.
The reason why people are frustrated and complacent is often in the secular framework. After reading "Zhuangzi", I feel the four wisdom of life, detached from things and comfortable.
After reading these four life wisdom, people will live a full and comfortable life.
1
Don't stay in things.
Zhuangzi said, "It is not advisable to hide small matters. If the husband hides in the world and can't escape, he will feel great about things. "
It is appropriate to hide small things in big things, but it may still be lost; If you hide the world in the world, you won't lose it. It is a universal fact that everything is under the action of Tao.
A common fault of people is that they like to hide, just like squirrels in the forest. When they find a fruit on the ground, they will hide it quickly.
When I see something delicious, durable and easy to use, I buy it and hide it at home. Seeing beautiful women, I want to build a golden house to hide my beauty; When you see beautiful cars and houses, try to hide under your own name. This hidden instinct is human possessiveness.
But can you hide it? Even if you can hide it for a while, you will eventually return to nature. Even a stinky bag can't be hidden, let alone a thing apart!
Once a person is captured by material things, he will inevitably lose his pure self.
People have a lot of unhappiness, jealousy, dissatisfaction and other emotions because they are too materialistic and want too many things.
Only by returning to your original heart, cleaning things up in time and eliminating unnecessary material desires can life be relaxed and comfortable.
In Zhuangzi's wisdom, it is the first level of life not to stop at things.

Don't mess with others
"
Keiko became prime minister in Liang, and Zhuangzi wanted to meet this good friend. Keiko was frightened and thought he was here to replace himself.
Unexpectedly, Zhuangzi calmly visited him and said, "There is a bird named Guixiao in the south. This Gui Xiao is not a phoenix tree, so he doesn't practice or eat. " Don't drink unless it's sweet spring. "
At this time, an owl was eating a rotten mouse with relish, just as the little stork flew overhead. The owl hurried to protect the rotten mouse and looked up and said, "Scare!" "
Zhuangzi said to Keiko again, "Are you trying to scare me with your Guoliang now?"
"
What you long for may be something that others hate. What you hate most may be what others want in their dreams.
Everyone in the world has their own way of life and the most beautiful posture.
Life is not a quiz, and every lifestyle is a standard answer.
Keiko once said to Zhuangzi, "If a child is not a fish, he knows the joy of fish."
Only you know whether the shoes are suitable or not; Life is fast and unhappy, only we know it.
Life is alive, you can't be trapped by others, and live for the goals of the public. You have to live a high life and go there according to your own wishes, so your life is not in vain.
In Zhuangzi's wisdom, not messing with people is the second level of life.
three
Not trapped in the heart
"
One day, Zhuangzi and Keiko passed Haoshui Bridge. Zhuangzi said, "Look how happy these silver carp are swimming down there."
Keiko said, "You are not a fish. How do you know if the fish is happy? " Zhuangzi immediately replied: "You are not me, how do you know that I don't know the happiness of fish?"
"
Life is like a play. We are not in other people's songs, how can we know other people's joys and sorrows? Good happiness is always your own, not in the eyes of others.
Buddha said, "Things change at will, the environment is created by the heart, and all troubles are born by the heart."
If you are happy, you will be happy. Whether you are happy or not depends on your heart.
If your heart is full of sunshine, then the world is colorful;
If your heart is full of dark clouds, the world is extremely dark.
Laozi said: "Misfortune comes from the mouth, and happiness comes from the mouth."
It means that everything in this world is one and two sides, both born of * * * and indispensable.
People feel happy, often not because life is smooth sailing, nor because of their superior ability, but because they are good at controlling their own hearts, not depressed by temporary difficulties and not crazy about temporary joy.
With light in your heart, you are your own sun, which not only illuminates yourself, but also warms others!
In Zhuangzi's wisdom, not being trapped in the heart is the third level of life.
four
Find yourself
"
Zhuangzi and his disciples came to the foot of a mountain and saw a big tree, flourishing, standing by the stream. Zhuangzi asked the lumberjack why no one cut down such a tall tree.
The woodcutter replied, "This tree is useless. If used as a boat, it will sink to the bottom of the water. If it is used as a pillar of a house, it will be easily corroded by insects. Because it is not a mature tree, it will live for so long if it is not cut down. "
Hearing this, Zhuangzi said, "If the tree doesn't grow, it will avoid disaster; People can't be gifted, but they can protect themselves. Everyone who is useful knows that everyone who is useless doesn't know. " Disciple suddenly realized and nodded. ?
"
Although the tree is bent and can't be used, it can't stop it from growing freely. In this world, everyone has his own way of living and different values under different standards.
Sometimes it seems useless to use it. People can't always take "interests" as the only criterion. Everything is born different, and it exists not only to please people.
Just like educating children, some children may not become top talents, but it does not prevent them from developing their own interests. Their growth is valuable in itself.
In Zhuangzi's wisdom, finding oneself is the fourth level of life.
Everyone's life is a case, not every fish lives in the same sea. The body can dance with shackles, and the mind needs free wings.
All happiness can't be copied. People who live a comfortable life have all read the four life wisdom in Zhuangzi: don't stay in things, don't mess with people, don't get stuck in your heart, and find yourself.
Zhuangzi, a famous Zhou, was a famous thinker and philosopher in the Warring States Period, and his masterpiece was Zhuangzi. In his masterpiece Zhuangzi, stories are myths and fables. Just like today's magic literature, the story is full of imagination, curiosity and vivid pictures, and tells the great wisdom of life in concise and vivid language.
This book has been a "Bible" for many people since ancient times.
Bai Juyi in Tang Dynasty: "Zhuang and Sheng belong to the same family, and my way is different from that of China people. Therefore, the nature is the same, and husband and wife are better than snakes. "
Song Dailin: "Although Zhuangzi's works are not classics, they are indispensable in the world."
Wen Yiduo: "The imprint of Zhuangzi will remain in China culture forever."
Lu Xun: "His style of writing is Wang Yang's, and his manners are all square. The works of the late Zhou philosophers should not be the first. "
There is a Zhuangzi in everyone's heart. There is no problem that Zhuangzi can't solve. As long as you understand what Zhuangzi said, any life problem can be solved.
