Zhuangzi Dasheng:

Those who are passionate about life do not do what they are born with; Those who reach for life are helpless if they don't know what to do. To cultivate a shape, you must first take things, and those who have more than enough things have them; If you live, you will never leave your shape, and those who live and die without leaving your shape will have it.

you can't give up when you are born, but you can't stop when you go. Sad husband! People in the world think that raising a shape is enough to survive; If the fruit is not enough to survive, then the world is full of fun! Although it is not enough to do it, it is inevitable.

if a husband wants to avoid being a figure, it is better to die. If you die, you will not be tired, if you are not tired, you will be fair, and if you are fair, you will be reborn with him. If you abandon something, you will have a legacy. If you die, you will not work hard, but if you die, you will not lose money.

the shape of the husband is completely refined, and it is one with the sky. Heaven and earth are the parents of all things, and when they are United, they become adults, and when they are scattered, they become the beginning. The essence of form is not deficient, which means that it can move; Fine and fine, the opposite is true.

Translation:

People who know the truth of life have nothing to do with life unless they pursue it; A man who understands life doesn't have to know that he has no choice. To maintain the body, we must use things first, and those who have more than enough things have them. The living will not leave the form in advance, and the people who live and die without leaving the form will have it.

He was born to refuse, and his departure can't stop. Sad! Secular people think that raising body shape is enough to save life; And cultivating fruit is not enough to save life, so why is it worth doing! Although it does not count as a person who has to do it, it is inevitable.

if you want to avoid the formation, it is better to give up the world. Abandoning the world is not tiring, and there are few positives. It is with him that regeneration is almost the same. How can things give up their lives? Abandoning the world is effortless, but giving life is spiritual.

physical preservation and spiritual recovery are in harmony with heaven. The combination of heaven and earth and the parents of all things becomes a whole, and the separation becomes the beginning. No loss in form and spirit, which can change; Fine and fine, the opposite is true.

Chu people learn to sail:

Chu people have a habit of sailing, and their initial twists and turns are slow, but the boat teacher only listens. Therefore, the small-scale trial between Zhouzhu and Zhuzhu was unsatisfactory, so I thought that I would do my best to thank the boat master, and I was eager to make a mistake, but I was afraid to fall and lost my oar. However, those who are in danger today are not lucky the day before yesterday.

Translation:

There was a man in the State of Chu who learned to sail. He just turned around and fell ill. He only had the words of the boatmaster. So I tried between sandbars, and everywhere I went, everything went well, so I appointed him as the skill of boating. I immediately beat the drums to the boatman and went forward. After repeated violations, I looked around and was frightened and lost my oar. However, it is dangerous today. Isn't this the day before?
