Zhuangzi "Ying Diwang" has a story. There is a magic witch in Zheng who knows people's death, life and death, good fortune, misfortune and longevity, for one year and ten days, just like a god.
Zheng Ren didn't dare to meet him when he saw him, for fear of guessing what happened to him. Liezi was also impressed and told his teacher Huzi that this was a "perfect person", a powerful person.
Huzi said to Liezi, "Since the attempt," to show this.
The pot is shown four times, once "showing the earth", the magician sees Liezi who is about to die like "wet ashes", the second time "showing the world", the magician sees "completely alive" and has recovered from his illness , said "Mr. Zi Zhi is lucky to meet me", and for the third time "showed him that there is no way to win with Tai Chong", the magician was at a loss when he saw "no gain", and finally "showed him that he has not yet come out of my sect", and the magician rushed to He ran away, but Liezi didn't catch up.
Huzi just showed himself under different "qi machines" (the ancients practiced Qi with higher levels), and the gods and wizards were vain and submissive, and Liezi was confused, not to mention the people of Zheng. People in the world are confused, but it is an indisputable fact.
Zhuangzi's wonderful effect lies in his ability to help people get rid of confusion.
Zhuangzi said, "A small confusion confuses the direction, a big confusion confuses the nature." A small confusion can make people go in the wrong direction, but a big confusion can make people change their nature.
The biggest confusion is, for example, " Boyi died under Shouyang, and Robber Zhi died on Dongling. The deaths were different, but the injuries caused by the remaining life are the same." The world has to forcefully distinguish them. A villain.
What is the biggest confusion among people in the world? In my opinion, it is losing one's true nature. All Zhuangzi's discussions are intended to make the world understand his own nature, which is also the origin of inaction.
Zhuangzi directly stated his point of view, "What I mean by intelligence does not mean that one has heard the other, but that one has heard the other." "What I mean by understanding does not mean that one has seen the other, only that one has seen the other." And "what I call Zang is not a person of benevolence and righteousness, but Zang is a person of virtue and a feeling of letting his life go." Zhuangzi's core reason for opposing benevolence and righteousness is that it goes against nature.
Zhuangzi also told a negative story, the fable of chaos,
"The emperor of the South Sea is Sui, the emperor of the North Sea is Hu, and the emperor of the center is Chaos. Sui and Hu met each other in the land of chaos, and Chaos treated them very well. . Sui Yuhu planned to repay the virtue of chaos, saying: "Everyone has seven orifices to look at, listen to, and eat. This is unique, so try to dig it out." "If you dig one orifice in one day, you will die in chaos in seven days."
tells us that people in the world often lose their chaotic nature because the seven orifices have been opened.
Nature is self-sufficient and at ease. A perfect person's intention is like a mirror, not meeting or meeting, responding but not hiding, so he can conquer things without hurting them.
In the end, Liezi finally realized the truth and went home to cook for his wife. "Making love for your wife will last forever." This is what Zhuangzi said.
