Zhuangzi-Happy Journey

The smartest person will always show an open-minded attitude; Small and talented people always haggle over every ounce. The words that conform to the avenue are like a prairie fire, which is both beautiful and grand and convincing. Those clever remarks are all trivial nonsense.
My life is limited, but so is my knowledge. Zhuangzi health master

4. There is no phase, and there is no phase. Master Zhuangzi.
Making friends with each other is not making friends, but doing something for each other is doing nothing. Make friends out of carelessness, help others out of inaction. This is "a close friend who never leaves."
Although I can't cure my disease, I hope I won't surpass it and take its place. -"Zhuangzi Xiaoyao Tour"
Although the chef does not make sacrifices, the emcee who presides over the sacrifices will not do it instead of the chef. This means that although man has not done his duty, the corpse hopes to act on his behalf without exceeding his authority to sacrifice to the gods. It shows Zhuangzi's thought of governing by doing nothing, from which the idiom "meddling" comes.
6. There must be room for you to enter and take back a room without thickness. Zhuangzi health master
There is a gap in translation, so it is still generous and has room for operation. It is the core of Zhuangzi's health preserving theory. At the same time, it shows that we should understand the laws of nature and act according to them. The idioms "I can't see the whole cow" and "I can handle it" both come from here.
7. Put out the fire with fire and save water with water, which is called many benefits. Zhuangzi, the world.
Putting out fire with fire and saving water with water will not only make things right, but will increase mistakes. Explain a way of life under the guise of Confucius teaching Yan Hui. The idiom "put out fire with fire" and "save water with water" came from here.

This is 2400 years earlier than the German physicist Einstein founded the theory of relativity.

Don't you know mantis? Waving its two broadsword arms, trying to stop the rolling wheels. It doesn't know that its strength is incompetent at all, but it thinks that its ability is very strong. The allusion to the idiom "gladiator's arm is a car" comes from this and is used to describe overreaching.
10. Hickory is self-destructive, burnt and fried, and cinnamon is eaten, so it is cut; Paint can be used, so cut it. Everyone knows what is useful, but not what is useless. Zhuangzi, the world.
Trees growing on the mountain are cut down because of natural needs, and resin is burned because of light, so osmanthus trees are edible, so they are cut down; Paint can be used, so it is peeling. Everyone knows the useful use, but they don't know the useless use. Useful and promising will be harmful, and useless and inaction will be blessed.
1 1. It's better to forget the rivers and lakes when the fish are on the land in spring. Master Zhuangzi.
After a long drought without rain, the river dried up. Many fish are trapped on the beach in the river.

Translation: with machinery, there will be smart things; With cleverness, there will be cleverness; The clever heart in the chest will destroy the quality of pure white. Without pure white quality, people will be uneasy, and those who are uneasy will be abandoned by Tao. Utilitarianism and ingenuity are really bad things that do harm to people.
