Fu Peirong: Whoever reads Zhuangzi, how will life be different? The three views have been subverted so god?

That is, borrowing from the words of the ancients.

The ancients that Zhuangzi borrowed the most were Confucius, and the second was Laozi.

Because Confucius was already a well-known figure in the world in the middle of the Warring States Period, and Zhuangzi also revealed the sequelae of Confucianism very clearly.

In addition, those who were borrowed by Zhuangzi included the emperor, Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang and so on.

In Zhuangzi's book, dummies can be seen everywhere, and each one of them is very vivid.

Books like this that you don't read will really feel like you've missed something interesting.

But "Zhuangzi" is particularly difficult to read.

He used words and phrases that were unique, and many of the words he borrowed were many strange words, which we had never seen before, and they were used in the book "Zhuangzi".

Let me briefly explain the following four points:

It is impossible to learn "Zhuangzi" and understand it as soon as you listen to it;

It is impossible to do it as soon as you understand it;

It's even less likely to do it all at once.

It can adjust your cosmology;

Challenge your outlook on life;

Subvert your values.

Zhuangzi is a development of Lao Tzu's thought.

Lao Tzu's thoughts are like the eight words on the back of the bus, called "Keep your distance for safety."

But when it comes to Zhuangzi, it is difficult to keep a distance.

Zhuangzi taught that man changes with all things, advances and retreats with it, so you have to try to attain enlightenment.

There are all kinds of possible stories to inspire in Zhuangzi, and all kinds of fables are very concise but very profound, which can help you to realize the Tao.

First, learn to think deeply. Slowly avoid preconceived notions and think deeply about anything.

Second, learn to open your heart, understand everything, accept everything, and appreciate everything.

Third, learn to be at ease, no matter what the situation, as long as you are alive and able to breathe, there is something to be happy about.

Allow me to take the liberty of recommending my book "Fu Peirong's Translation of Zhuangzi".

Because the content of "Zhuangzi" is very exciting, but the original text is very difficult to read, with the assistance of this book, you can easily keep up with the progress of the course.

Let's work together, the more difficult it is, the more worth trying, let's learn one of the four strange books, one of the six talents of zhuangzi!
