As a famous thinker in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Zhuangzi had many wise sayings from which we can derive the philosophy of success. I will take one of them to analyze and share with you.
1. The body is above the rivers and seas, but the heart is below Wei Que. - "Zhuangzi, let the king", although I wandered in the rivers and lakes, I still cared about the affairs of the court in my heart. Later Fan Zhongyan said: "When you live far away from the temple, you worry about the people, and when you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you worry about the king." It is the same. mean.
2. The reason why Tsuen is in the fish, he gets the fish and forgets the Tsuen; the reason why the hoof is in the rabbit, he gets the rabbit and forgets the hoof; the speaker is so concerned about it, but he is so proud that he forgets to speak. ?"Zhuangzi? Foreign Objects", the fish cage is used to catch fish. After catching the fish, the credit of the fish cage is forgotten. In the same way, the hoof machine is used to catch rabbits. After catching the rabbit, Just forget the credit of the hoof machine; written words are used to express emotional meanings. Once you understand the meaning of the words, the words themselves are no longer important.
3. To practice virtuous behavior and abandon self-virtuous behavior is to settle down without loving it! ?"Zhuangzi·Shanmu" If a person with noble moral character can still get rid of the inner self-conception that he has noble moral character, then where can such a person go without being respected and loved by others?
4. Things are infinite in quantity, endless in time, impermanent in division, and end without reason. This is why great knowledge sees far and near, so it is small but not few, large but not many, and its knowledge is infinite. "Zhuangzi Qiu Shui", the volume of things is endless, time is endless, there is no clear definition of gain or loss, and there is no change in human life and death. Therefore, those who have great wisdom can take care of things both far and near, so they don't think they are small, no matter how small, and they don't think they are big, no matter how big they are, because they know that the amount of things is endless.
As a great thinker in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Zhuangzi had many more successful philosophies, which cannot be mentioned one by one. What we need to do is to read and apply diligently in order to learn the great wisdom of the ancients.
