Zhuangzi, rich in imagination, up and down the poor and falling in the yellow spring, everywhere.
Zhuangzi behaves freely, speaks fluently, is extremely carefree, and extremely romantic.
Later generations commented on the book "Zhuangzi":
"Its text is full of oceans, demeanor, and the works of the sons of the late Zhou Dynasty can not be the first. ”
People who comprehend the wisdom of Zhuangzi often dance and marvel at it, and they are inexhaustible!
The 6 idioms of "Zhuangzi" share the 6 wisdom of life.
01
Time flies
The idiom "white horse passing through the gap" comes from "Zhuangzi Zhibei Tour".
Meaning: Life between heaven and earth is like seeing a white horse galloping through a gap, but it is only a moment.
We are taught from an early age that people should cherish time and cherish life.
An inch of time is an inch of gold, and it is difficult to buy an inch of time.
The pace of life in modern society is accelerating, and people often emphasize "racing against time" when dealing with time.
And Zhuangzi reminds us: Life is like a moment, is it worth exchanging a short life for all kinds of things?
As a human being, you always have to spend some time on useless things, and you always have to leave some time to listen to the wind and look up at the clouds.
The so-called "cherishing time" is not necessarily "using time", but rather "enjoying time".
You give time freedom, and time gives you meaning.
02
Untied boats
"The Boat of the Untieped" is from "Zhuangzi Lie Yukou".
Meaning: a free and easy life is like a boat floating with the current, unrestrained.
Zhuangzi believes that a truly virtuous person conforms to the environment and nature, understands the principles of the world, is not bound by the results, and does his best to obey the destiny of heaven.
Modern society is full of competition and temptation, and many people suffer from gains and losses because they can't get the results they want.
In fact, too much desire is the source of all suffering.
Since life is short, you can't carry too much sorrow, why not look down.
As the saying goes, the heart is selfless and the world is wide.
03
A branch of the nest forest
"A Branch of the Nest Forest" is from "Zhuangzi Wandering".
Meaning: small birds build nests in deep forests, and no matter how big the forest is, it only accounts for one of the branches.
As for people, they have a thousand loads of food, and they also eat three meals a day.
Life is content and happy in the world, and you don't have to live too greedy.
Truly wise people have long known how to "subtract" life.
Subtract superfluous social circles, minus unwanted items, minus meaningless distractions.
Simplify the complex, and life will be comfortable.
This is exactly what the taste of the world is Qinghuan.
04
cast pearls before swine
"Playing the Piano to the Ox" is from "Zhuangzi Qi Wu Theory".
Meaning: It is in vain to talk about music to people who don't understand music and reason to people who don't understand music.
If the other party can understand, they don't need to explain at all, they look at each other and smile, all without saying anything.
If the other party can't understand it, no matter how much explanation you have, it's a waste of words.
Zhuangzi said that summer insects should not speak ice. Whoever talks to summer insects about winter ice, that's his own confusion.
The word is spoken to those who understand, and the reason is spoken to those who understand.
05
It's as light as water
"Tranquil as water" is from "Zhuangzi Shanmu".
Meaning: The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, without impurities, although it is plain, but close.
A true friend has nothing to do with money, has nothing to do with status, but is sincere.
Since ancient times, many literati and writers have lamented that "it is enough to have a confidant in life".
He does not stand idly by when you are in trouble, and he does not bend to meet your wishes when you are successful.
The most genuine friendship, just ask for a sincere treatment, a lifetime of sincerity.
06
Adult 无己
"Adults have no self" is from "Zhuangzi Qiushui".
Meaning: A person of high moral character is broad-minded and does not take himself too seriously.
Where there is a cause, there is an effect, and everyone has a scale in their hearts.
If you smile at the crowd, the crowd will smile at you!
If you are calculating with others, others will be wary of you!
A person's mind must first be able to fit others before it can fit the world.
If you don't worry about your own gains and losses, the road of life will be smoother and smoother.
