There are many stories about Zhuangzi, among which Mengdie and others are relatively well-known; the following stories are more "unpopular" for reference:

Is there such a thing as happiness in the world? Is there anyone who can survive? Today's Xi is Xi Zhi? Where to avoid ridicule? Just go ahead and ridicule? Laughing at fun and ridiculing evil?

The ones who are respected in the world are rich, noble, long-lived and good (1); those who are happy are those who have a safe body, rich food, good food, good clothes and good sounds; the ones who are respected in the world (2) are poor and lowly, and are evil; those who are suffering are: The body cannot be at ease, the mouth cannot taste good, the shape cannot be beautiful, the eyes cannot have color, and the ears cannot have sound; if they cannot, they will be greatly worried and fearful. Its shape is also stupid.

A rich man suffers from physical pain, accumulates too much wealth and cannot use it all, and his appearance is also external (3). A noble man spends day and night thinking about whether he is good or not, and his appearance is also sparse. Human beings are born with worries, and those who live long are in panic (4). If you don't die after being worried for a long time, why bother! Its shape is also far away. Martyrs do good for the world (5), but they are not enough to survive. I don’t know whether good is sincere, good or evil, and whether sincerity is good or evil? If you think it is good, it will not be enough to survive; if you think it is not good, it will not be enough to survive. Therefore, it is said: "If you don't listen to the loyal advice, squat and follow without fighting (6)." Therefore, Master Zixu fought with him and lost his shape (7). If he doesn't fight, his reputation will not be achieved. Is there any truth or goodness?

What we do in today’s world depends on what we enjoy. I don’t know whether the fruit of happiness is happiness or evil, or whether the fruit is happiness or evil? I look at people's common pleasures, and those who enjoy it with others (8), I understand that it is as if they have no choice (9), and they all say they are happy, I am not happy (10), and I am not happy either (10). Is there any joy in it? I find inaction to be a sincere joy, but it is also a source of great suffering due to vulgarity. Therefore, it is said: "The greatest happiness has no joy, the greatest reputation has no reputation."

The right and wrong in the world cannot be determined. Although, inaction can determine right and wrong. The most blissful living body is the only existence of inaction (11). Please try to speak. There is nothing in the sky to make it pure (12), and there is nothing in the earth to make it peaceful. Therefore, the two things are combined, and all things are transformed (13). It's so bright and fluorene (14), but there's no way out of it (15)! The fluorene is bright, but there is no elephant (16)! All things (17) are created from nothing (18). Therefore, it is said that heaven and earth are inactive and everything is inactive. How can humans achieve inaction?

Translation

Is there the greatest happiness in the world or not? Is there something that can keep the body alive or is there nothing? Now, what should be done and on what basis? What to avoid and what to feel at ease with? What do you keep close to and what do you abandon? What do you like and what do you hate?

What people in the world respect and value is wealth, nobility, longevity and good reputation; what people like and like are physical comfort, rich food, beautiful clothes, brilliant colors and beautiful music. What is considered low is poverty, humbleness, short life and notoriety; what is painful and troubled is that the body cannot be comfortable and comfortable, the mouth cannot have delicious food, the appearance cannot have beautiful clothes, the eyes cannot see brilliant colors, and the ears cannot see You can't hear sweet music; if you don't get these things, you will be very sad and worried. All the above ways of treating your body are really stupid!

Rich people, who work hard and work hard, have accumulated a lot of wealth but cannot enjoy it all, so they treat their bodies too lightly. Noble people think hard day and night about how to maintain their power and salary, but they are too neglectful to treat their bodies in this way. As people live in the world, sorrow also occurs along with it. Long-lived people are confused all day long and are in sorrow for a long time without dying. How painful it is! That would be too alienating to treat the body. The brave men sacrificed themselves for the sake of the country, but it was not enough to survive themselves. I don't know if this kind of behavior is really good, or if it really can't be considered good? If you think it is a good deed, it is not enough to survive yourself; if you think it is not a good deed, it is enough to make others survive. Therefore, it is said: "If your loyal advice is not accepted, then give in and stop fighting for advice." Wu Zixu was so loyal in his advice that he was killed. If he did not work hard to fight for advice, his reputation as a loyal minister would not be achieved. So is there really such a thing as good or not?

I don’t know what the world is doing and enjoying now. Is the happiness really happiness? Is it really not happiness? I observe the things that the world enjoys. Everyone is chasing after them with all their strength. They are competing to the death, as if they will never give up until they reach their goal. Everyone says this is the happiest thing, but I don’t think it is happiness, and certainly I don’t think it is not happiness. So, is there really happiness in the world or not? I think doing nothing is the real happiness, but this is the most painful and troublesome thing that secular people feel.

Therefore, it is said: "The greatest happiness is the absence of happiness, and the greatest honor is the absence of honor."

The right and wrong of the world is really uncertain. Even so, Wuwei’s perspective and attitude
