Zhuangzi said that Dapeng would fly to Nanming with the help of strong winds at sea. "If it is a bird, shipping will migrate to Nanming." In ancient China, there was a saying that "the sea moves in June", which means "shipping". Zhuangzi said that Dapeng, whose wings hang like clouds and whose back is "I don't know its thousands of miles", will fly to Nanming with the help of the strong wind generated at sea in June.
"Reduplication" is an important feature of Zhuangzi's article, so Zhuang Zhou also said that there is a book called Qi Xie, which also records the fact that Dapeng birds will fly from Beiming to Nanming. I always thought Mr. Zhuang Zhou was really great. He is a generalist. He is not only knowledgeable, but also an expert in many fields. In the TV series Animal World explained by Mr. Zhao Zhongxiang, we have all seen swans take off on the water. Swan flapped its wings and glided on the water, with a wide wingspan, fierce strength and splashing water ... Every time I watch Wandering, I always think of such a picture, which is really a concrete and insignificant example of Dapeng's soaring in Zhuangzi's works.
But Peng's body is so big that the strength of wings alone is obviously not enough to fly to Nanming. Teacher Zhuang must know aerodynamics and have experience in flying kites. When I was a child, I flew a kite. The bigger the kite, the longer I ran against the wind in the wilderness. The bigger the kite, the higher it flew, the more stable it flew, and the farther it flew, until I could only see a small black dot. Therefore, Zhuangzi said that the Dapeng bird fluttered its wings and spiraled up to the high altitude (stratosphere) in Wan Li, only to fly to Nanming against the strong wind blowing from the southeast sea in June.
Anyone who has studied geography knows that the southeast monsoon blows along the southeast coast of China every June. Zhuangzi said that Dapeng "goes to rest in June". Obviously, the old man is not only a master of flying kites, but also a senior meteorological geographer. A passage that is ridiculous to read is well founded.
Having written so much nonsense, I want to say that Dapeng flew to Nanming in the southeast monsoon (including typhoon) blowing from the western Pacific Ocean in June.
It seems that it is not enough to fly to Nanming to thank Mr. Wang, but also to have good opportunities and necessary help. Mr. Ma Yun said: There is still a dream, in case it comes true. This is a terrible sentence, which is very easy to mislead simple children: as long as you dream one or two dreams and shout one or two slogans, you can achieve the glory of life. In fact, from Kun's materialization to Peng's materialization, Peng's waiting for the opportunity to fly, riding the wind and moving from south to north, we can draw such a conclusion: if a person wants to achieve an outstanding life, he must first aim high; Secondly, we should accumulate strength and sharpen our will; Of course, we must wait for the opportunity, grasp and make good use of the opportunity and the help of indispensable external forces.
