When a kind of beauty makes us at a loss, we will realize our own limitations. At the time of "there are too many things to see on the shady road", can't we experience that our small mind and limited senses are not blessed and enjoy too many blessings from heaven?
When reading Zhuangzi, we are often confused and have to dance with our hands and feet. Besides, is there any way to express your inner feelings? Two doctors in Chu asked Zhuangzi to be an official in the DPRK, but he was still quiet inside and refused the temptation. Who doesn't want to have the power in hand, so they can make orders and leverage the world to realize the dream of utopia? However, after repeated weighing, I would rather drag my tail to live freely in muddy water than be put into a delicate box, decorated with silk, and treasured in exchange for "leaving bones and being expensive".
this is my shame. This is a clean spirit that grows out of extraordinary wisdom, and it nourishes the amazing internal force that refuses temptation.
It can be said that Zhuangzi is a lonely tree, a lonely tree guarding the soul moon in the middle of the night. Why didn't we lose the moon when most of us fell asleep in the dark? It is because of this tree that guards the moon alone in the windy night.
Zhuangzi seems to be strong because of ruthlessness, but in fact she is the most affectionate and vulnerable!
He has the coldness and sharpness of a snake and the gentleness and generosity of a dove. But for all kinds of absurdities and evils in the world, he knows that he can't challenge them with a scholar's bald pen. Therefore, with the cruelty of the outside world, his brushwork is absurd to the extreme. Because the world is dark to the extreme, his attitude is extreme to the extreme. However, who can't see the bitter tears in his absurd remarks? How can this not be called creepy face, awe and love? Of course, I don't fully appreciate his natural state of life, but I appreciate his leading an honest and clean life, not serving powerful people and not colluding with others. And I agree more with what I said in my last article, "Life has no interest".
