Zhuangzi (approximately 369 BC - 286 BC), whose name was Zhou and whose courtesy name was Zixiu (some say Zimu), was born in Meng, a state of Song Dynasty (now Mengcheng County, Anhui Province) during the Warring States Period. Thinker, philosopher, and writer, he is a representative of the Taoist school, the inheritor and developer of Laozi's philosophical thoughts, and the founder of the pre-Qin Zhuangzi school.

1. "My life has a limit, but my knowledge has no limit. If I have a limit, it will be endless!"

Life is limited, but knowledge is endless. , using a limited life to pursue endless knowledge is bound to fail.

People’s need for knowledge is like their need for water, or even greater.

For a piece of land, too little water will cause thirst, and too much water will cause disaster.

Therefore, the same is true for the pursuit of knowledge. Don’t go too far, but just the right amount.

2. "The gap between heaven and earth in life is like a white horse passing by a small gap."

Human beings living between heaven and earth are like a white horse running across a small gap. , passed in the blink of an eye.

I often used this sentence when I was writing essays when I was a child. At that time, I couldn’t understand what it meant. When I think about it when I grow up, I understand what “a fleeting moment has passed”.

Time flies and life is short, so we must know how to cherish and cherish, cherish our family, cherish our friends, and cherish ourselves!

Life is short, and there is no time to worry or care.

You have to live for yourself, others are just scenery passing by.

3. "Worldly people like others to be the same as themselves, but hate others when they are different from themselves."

Worldly people like others to agree with them and hate others who disagree. yourself; if you agree with yourself, you will like it; if you disagree with yourself, you will hate it.

People are soft and vain at heart.

When others agree with you and praise you, vanity is satisfied.

And when a different voice comes out, it feels like one's self-esteem has been trampled on.

In fact, this kind of mentality is also human nature, but we must realize that this kind of mentality may cause us to miss many opportunities for progress. After all, "loyalty may hurt the ears but helps the deeds"!

4. "There is no greater sorrow than the death of the heart, and the death of a person is the second best."

Human sorrow is spiritual numbness and dullness, and the death of the body is still second.

Some people are dead but still alive.

Some people are alive but already dead.

If a person only has a skin and no thoughts, then his wisdom will become a walking zombie.

This is sadder than death.

5. "A frog in a well cannot talk to the sea, and a summer insect cannot talk to the ice."

Don't discuss the sea with the frog in the well, because the frog in the well lives at the bottom of the well. A small space cannot understand the vastness of the sea;

Don’t talk about ice and snow with summer bugs. Bugs that only live for one season cannot appreciate the winter ice and snow.

Don’t argue with fools.

Don't argue with people who are not on the same level as this will only waste time and energy.

If you talk about poetry and poetry to someone who has not read books, not only will you feel that you are "playing the piano to a cow", but the other person will also feel that you are "not speaking human words".

6. "A dog does not regard a good barking as a good dog, and a man does not regard a good speech as a good one."

Just because a dog barks well does not mean it is a good dog; If a person is eloquent, he is considered a wise man.

Whether you are judging whether a person is reliable in life or whether a person is talented at work, it cannot be based on whether he can speak well. People who talk too much may not necessarily be talented or virtuous. The key to judging people is to look at them. Whether his behavior is consistent with his words and deeds.

In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", after Zhuge Liang beheaded Ma Su who had lost the street pavilion, he remembered Liu Bei's comment about Ma Su before his death, saying, "Exaggeration is of no use," and he regretted it.

7. "Those who are fond of praising others are also fond of slandering others behind their backs."

A person who likes to flatter others in person will also like to slander others behind their backs.

We often meet a kind of person in life. Every time we meet, he always puts on a smiling face to welcome others, and can praise you to the sky in front of you.

Pay special attention to this kind of person, because he may be the one stabbing you in the back.

8. "If you plan things without a plan, you will be trapped; if you are unprepared, you will be in vain."

If you plan things without a plan, you will be trapped by things; if you do things without preparation, you will definitely fail. .

Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. If you are unprepared for the opportunity, you are destined to be unable to seize the miracle.

On the way to the conquest, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang saw the people's tragic experience and the people's hatred of Tyrannical Qin. They seized the opportunity to raise an uprising and gained the support of the people, thereby overthrowing Tyrant Qin's rule. .

Only when you are well prepared can you have a chance of victory.

If you don’t accumulate steps, you can’t reach a thousand miles; if you don’t accumulate small streams, you can’t reach a river or sea.

9. "If you are not sincere, you cannot impress others."

If you are not sincere, you cannot impress others.

"Sincerity leads to gold and stone." If you want to convince others or move others, you can only express your most sincere feelings.

In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times in order to invite Zhuge Liang to come out. It was his attitude of visiting the thatched cottage three times that made Zhuge Liang see his sincerity and helped him make a grand blueprint for unifying the country.

If you treat people sincerely, others will naturally treat you sincerely. Only those who are sincere and have sincere feelings will have a better chance of impressing others. A complete collection of Zhuangzi's classic quotations

1. Our eyes always look too much at the outside world and too little at the soul.

2. The secret of happiness that Confucius can teach us is how to find your inner peace.

3. Everyone hopes to live a happy life, but happiness is just a feeling, which has nothing to do with wealth and poverty, but is connected with the heart.

4. With an optimistic and positive attitude, grasp the appropriateness of interaction with others, let yourself become a person who makes others happy, and let your happy heart become an energy source like sunshine to radiate others, Warm others, let family, friends and even the wider society gain a little reason to be happy from themselves.

5. Caring for others is kindness; understanding others is wisdom.

6. Bravery without moral restraint is the greatest disaster in the world.

7. In fact, what is a teacher? I have a student, and a small gift she gave me made me understand what a teacher is.

A little girl made a gift for me under the quilt with a flashlight during military training, because she wanted to give it to me on my birthday. She gave it to me with one injection. I embroidered a small cross-stitch on the ground, then put it in a plexiglass cover and gave it to me. I didn't understand it when I was looking at it. What I saw in the embroidery was a very elegant woman, bending over and holding a needle, and underneath there was a dirty little child with a snotty nose. Then she raised her arm and she was grabbing the needle. Child's arms. I also asked this girl, I said oh, what is she doing, is she giving him vaccinations? Then the little girl laughed and said you can see for yourself, and she left.

Later I took out a letter from the glass cover and folded it very small. In that letter, she told me that in fact, every child is an angel who fell to the ground. On the ground because their wings were broken, so before he forgot about the sky, he always wanted to find the person who could sew his wings. This requires that no one in the adult world laughs at the youthfulness, recklessness, and abruptness of these children, but can tolerate them, love them, and encourage them to sew their wings and remember the sky again. She said that when I met you, it was actually I met a man who mended wings for angels.

In fact, I think this is the best explanation of the role of teacher so far.

8. The so-called experience is to "experience it with your body and test it with your blood." It is a very profound infiltration.

9. Enlightenment is a long process. Continuous enlightenment and experience are a kind of ritual in your heart.

10. In my opinion, whether it is Zhuangzi or Confucius, all the theories of ancient sages and sages that apply to individual life have only one purpose, which is to maximize people’s happiness. As long as you feel in your heart If you are awake, full, and have a sense of happiness, then I think this is one of the meanings of sages.

11. The real cultural classics are the kind of things that can be extremely profound, but they can also be extremely simple. Its profoundness is its spiritual connotation, and its simplicity is its surface form. Simplicity and profundity are sometimes not contradictory.

12. There is a principle in communication, that is, you should always keep it very simple or even silly, so that it can be easily spread. If you make it particularly profound, , it can’t be spread. The premise of redistribution is to make it simple and stupid.

13. My father taught me that everything starts from the source.

14. I like to divide life into two levels: the life level and the survival level, and the bigger they are, the clearer they can be. The so-called life level is what you should stick to in your heart; and the so-called survival level is what you need to make achievements in reality.

15. As a person, when you are young, you have the responsibility to transform your knowledge into productivity. You cannot say that you can go away alone when you are young. In fact, this kind of non-conformity will make people lose a sense of value realization, and you will also be quite irresponsible.

16. Life is actually the barrel effect. You should never ask about your highest level - what is better about you, and your lowest level should be considered the most.

17. One of my favorite passages in "Zhuangzi" is: "To praise someone in the world without admonishing them, to criticize them in the world without discouraging them is to determine the distinction between inside and outside, to argue between honor and disgrace. That's it. Zhuangzi's top ten classic quotations

Zhuangzi (about 369 BC - 286 BC), named Zhou, also known as Zixiu (sometimes said to be Zimu), was born in the state of Meng (now Mengcheng County, Anhui Province) during the Warring States Period. ). Thinker, philosopher, and writer, he is a representative figure of the Taoist school, the inheritor and developer of Laozi's philosophical thoughts, and the founder of the pre-Qin Zhuangzi school.

1. Simple and unparalleled in the world. Strive for beauty.

If a person can maintain his simple nature, then he is the most perfect person in the world.

2. Tao is hidden in small achievements, and words are hidden in glory.

Subjective bias will hinder the pursuit of truth, and rhetoric can easily cover up the truth.

3. There is no happiness, no reputation.

To get rid of the so-called happiness in the world is to get rid of the so-called honor in the world. If we can put down the worldly money, beauty, power and honor, we may experience the real happiness in life.

4. He is praised by the whole world without admonition, and criticized by the whole world without being discouraged.

Even if people all over the world praise him, he will not work harder because of it. Even if people oppose him, he will not be discouraged. In terms of life principles, it is important to listen to other people's opinions, but it is more important to do things according to his own ideas and principles, not to be influenced by the outside world, and not to follow the wind. A person who is swaying.

5. A person with deep desires will have a shallow talent.

If a person has too many hobbies and desires, his natural wisdom will be obscured. When enjoying wealth, sex, fame, food, sleep, etc., one's judgment will be affected, and one may even lose one's wisdom.

6. It is easy to disappear, but difficult to do nothing.

No. Of course, walking will not leave any traces, but if a person wants to walk without leaving any traces, it will be difficult. Each of us must be responsible for what we have done, and we cannot do things without considering the consequences. It's "cause and effect".

7. Only a virtuous person can do this if he knows that there is nothing he can do about it.

He knows that his difficult situation cannot be changed and he is content with it. , Only people with high moral standards can do this. They will inevitably encounter insurmountable difficulties in life and work, and accept the reality calmly. This is the wisdom in life.

8. Even if you are too small, you can't win. For prosperity.

It is a wise man not to compete with worldly people on small issues, but to win in big areas. If you are unwilling to do something, you can achieve greater victory by seeing a higher goal with a detached mentality.

9. Those who work together for the benefit of each other will abandon each other due to poverty and disaster.

People who are united because of interests will inevitably abandon each other when encountering difficulties and disasters. Friendships based on fame and fortune will end when the interest relationship ends. True friendship comes from the same interests and life ideals.

10. The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, while the friendship between villains is as sweet as wine.

Gentlemen communicate with each other based on righteousness, and their friendship is often as plain as water; villains communicate with each other based on benefit, and their friendship is often as sweet as fine wine. Although the friendship between gentlemen is plain, they can maintain closeness for a long time; although the friendship between villains is sweet, it is not strong at all and can be easily broken off.
