<h1>Zhuangzi, a man who speaks from a natural point of view. </h1>
If you use two words to describe Zhuangzi's philosophical thought, it is "leisure".
In the book "Zhuangzi", "leisure" is the core of thought, expressing Zhuangzi's spirit of pursuing freedom and freedom and the attitude of pursuing leisure.
So Zhuangzi's sentence "There is a fish in the North Sea, and its name is Kun." The size of the carp is unknown to thousands of miles. ”
It is a man of great ambition who is ridiculed and incomprehensible, and when he is unrestrained in his own free spiritual world, he is ridiculed.
In Zhuangzi's life, although the actual material conditions were somewhat scarce, his spiritual freedom was unmatched.
So he said, "The roc bird is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is."
The behavior of the roc bird was seen by the cicada and the bird, but it was laughed at, which was used to describe a free and indifferent in his heart.
What Zhuangzi advocates is a kind of freedom of mind, a kind of wisdom that is not burdened by external objects, and represents the quietness of non-action in Taoist thought.
Zhuangzi advocates abandoning external objects, not clinging to external objects, and conforming to nature.
Zhuangzi said: Loneliness is invisible, fickle, death and life, heaven and earth, and gods. What a coincidence, what a coincidence.
The meaning of this sentence is: The vast desert of emptiness is shadowless and fickle, is it dead or alive? Whether to coexist with heaven and earth or to go with the gods, where to go in a daze, where to go suddenly, everything is all-encompassing, and it is difficult to belong.
Zhuangzi advocates the freedom of the spirit, advocates that the human spirit should respect the laws of nature, attaches importance to self-cultivation and morality, and his concept is based on the cosmology, advocating the unity of heaven and man, and forgetting both things and me.
Comparing Zhuangzi's thoughts with the thoughts of many ordinary people, it can be said that ordinary people pursue material freedom, while Zhuangzi pursues spiritual freedom.
For example, many people now pursue financial freedom, believing that financial freedom is the highest spiritual state in life, but Zhuangzi scoffs at it.
Zhuangzi believes that "external things are rich and noble" are the root causes of disasters for themselves, and the real peace of life is the need to rely on the heart to get, and even need to get rid of the burden of external things.
Perhaps Zhuangzi's thinking is a little biased, but Zhuangzi attaches importance to nature and pursues a realm of inner liberation, which is the point that we need to learn and understand the most.
When worldly people are tired of external objects, they always think that external objects can solve their own suffering, but even if they have external objects, they are still deeply in pain, which is the crux of thinking.
And Zhuangzi's idea of transcending external objects is the best strategy for this crux of the problem.
Zhuangzi advocates spiritual leisure, advocates spirit, obeys the laws of nature, attaches importance to self-cultivation, and stands in the perspective of nature to achieve the dual forgetfulness of things and self. This is a system that transcends other philosophical thoughts, and his thinking about life is also worth learning for us.
<h1>And Zhuangzi also has his own different feelings about life and death. </h1>
The problem of life and death is a problem that we attach great importance to, and it is also the greatest pain and confusion in life, no matter what many people pursue, when faced with the problem of life and death, everything else is considered insignificant.
Life and death have also become a core of Zhuangzi's attention, and Zhuangzi regards life and death as a natural phenomenon and accepts it calmly. Life is life, and it has to be accepted, and death is also the state of nature.
For the individual, Zhuangzi believed that life and death were just a natural process, and in this process, life was a link, and death was also a link.
Therefore, life and death have a destiny, and wealth is in heaven, and we should face the changes in this thing with a calm attitude of Leda.
If Zhuangzi's leisure can be described as "I don't know its thousands of miles", then Zhuangzi's optimism and obedience can be interpreted by "it is better to forget each other than to forget each other in the rivers and lakes".
Zhuangzi said: "When the springs are dry, the fish are on the land, and they are wet with each other, and they are foaming at each other, so it is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes." ”
The spring water is dry, and the fish are trapped on land, breathing out each other to get a little moisture, and wetting each other with spit, it is better to completely forget the life of the past rivers and lakes.
Being in adversity or good times is actually a destiny, and when it is difficult, it is only a kind of destiny, and it will not be more pleasant than being proud of it when it is forgotten in the rivers and lakes.
Zhuangzi's optimism and casualness, in fact, when we go to learn Zhuangzi's thoughts, we must also understand from Zhuangzi's point of view, that is, from the perspective of heaven and earth.
Optimistic to look at the misfortunes and losses of life, calmly accept the changes in external objects, let everything follow the fate, let everything get away with the heart, this is also the best realm of life.
