"Zhan He Fishing"
Pre-Qin Liezi (c. 450 BC – 375 BC), courtesy name Yukou (御史寇), was a Zheng Guoren (郑国人), and had no examination in his life. The book "Liezi" has eight records in the "Book of Han and Yiwen Zhi", which was later discovered in the Jin Dynasty, and it is said that it was written by the Wei and Jin people in disguise.
Why zhan he uses the cocoon silk as the lun, the mango needle as the hook, the thorn as the rod, the cut grain as the bait, and the fish that leads the car to the abyss and the gurgling stream, the lun is endless, the hook is not extended, and the rod is not flexed. The king of Chu heard this and summoned him to inquire about it.
There was a fishing master in the Chu kingdom named Zhan He. This Zhan Gao people fished badly, just using a single silkworm cocoon silk as a fishing line, finding a very slender mango needle as a fishing hook, and finding a thin thorn bamboo as a fishing rod; bait, hey, miser, just cut open a grain of rice as bait.
He could catch a big fish from the gushing rapids of the seventy or eighty-foot abyss, how big was it? Big enough to fill a car. What is more exaggerated is that the fishing rope is continuous, the hook is not straightened, and the fishing rod is not bent.
When the King of Chu heard of this, he was very surprised, so he sent someone to summon Zhan He to ask what the reason was.
Zhan He Yue: "I have heard the words of the first doctor, the bow of Pu and zi, the weak bow and fiber, the wind vibrating, even the double partridge in the qingyun, the heart is dedicated, and the hands are also." Because of his affairs, the subject learned to fish, and did his best in five years.
Zhan He said; "I once heard my father say: 'There used to be a man named Pu Jizi, and when he shot birds, he only used a very weak bow, tied a thin silk rope, and pulled the string along the wind, and the arrow hit a pair of partridges (yellow orioles) flying high in the sky. I followed his methods to learn fishing, and it took me five years to grasp the rules.
When the subject holds a rod in the river, his mind is not distracted, only the thought of fish, the hook is thrown, the hand is not heavy, and the things cannot be chaotic. The fish saw the bait of the hook, and the foam was like a thick foam, and it was no doubt. Therefore, we can use the weak to control the strong, and the light to the heavy. If the great king can rule the country sincerely, then the world can be transported in one hand, and it will also be a matter of affairs?"
King Chu said, "Goodness!"
When I picked up the fishing rod by the river, I had no distractions, only fish, throwing fishing lines, sinking the hook, the hand strength was not heavy, and foreign objects could not disturb my mind. When a fish sees a hook bait, it is like seeing dust sinking in the water mixed in a blister, and there is no doubt that it swims to swallow it. This is the reason why I use the weak to control the strong, and the light to the heavy. Hey, Great King, if you govern the kingdom like this, then the world can run in the palm of your hand, where else needs to be done?"
In ancient times, there were many stories about "high mental expertise", such as:
《痀偻承蜩》
Zhuangzi (360 BC – 280 BC), a native of the Song Dynasty (present-day Shangqiu, Henan, also known as Mengcheng County, Anhui)
Zhongni Shichu, out of the forest, see the gangrene bears the sting, and the judas are also.
Jonny said, "Son! Is there a way?"
Confucius went to the Chu Kingdom, passed through a forest on the way, and saw a hunchbacked old man holding a bamboo pole sticking to cicadas, this old man sticking cicadas is like picking up things, too easy, too simple.
Confucius looked stunned and asked, "Oh, do you have a secret skill?" Or is there a way?"
"I have a way." In May and June, if you are tired of pills two and do not fall, you will lose the one who loses the third, and if you are tired of three and do not fall, you will lose eleven; if you are tired of five and do not fall, you will also lose it.
The hunchback said, "Hey! I have a way. To cultivate this Path, you must first go through five or six months of training, first practice on the head of the bamboo pole to accumulate two pills will not fall, practice to stick cicadas will rarely lose their hands; if you practice until the accumulation of three pills will not fall, then the chance of losing hands is less than one-tenth; if you can accumulate to five pills will not fall, it will be as easy as picking up things on the ground.
I am in the same place, if I am bound by the plant, if I hold the arm, if I am the branch of the tree. Although the heavens and the earth are great, and there are many things, only the wings know. I do not oppose or side, do not take the wings of all things that are easy to fall, and what is not to be. ”
Confucius gu said to his disciples: "There is no distinction between intentions, but concentration on God, and the meaning of his servants!"
When I stick to the stub, my body and mind are like the roots of a wooden stake, and the arms of a bamboo pole are like dead branches. Although the heavens and the earth I face are so big and all things are so many, I only have cicada hope in my heart. I neither reflexive nor sideways, do not exchange all things for the wings of cicadas in my heart, I am so sticky cicadas, where can I not stick? ”
