"Zhuangzi Outer Chapter Twelfth Heaven and Earth" Although the heaven and the earth are large, they are uniform; although there are many things, they are governed by one;The king was originally born in virtue and became born in heaven.Therefore, it is said: Xuangu's ruler of the world did nothing, only the virtue of heaven.The ruler of the world is upright with the view of Tao; the righteousness of the monarch and ministers is clear with the view of the Tao;Therefore, those who communicate with heaven and earth are virtues; those who practice all things are Taos;Skills are combined with things, things are combined with righteousness, righteousness is combined with virtue, virtue is combined with Tao, and Tao is combined with heaven.Therefore, it is said: The ancient animal world, without desire, the world is full, without action, all things are transformed, the abyss is quiet, and the people are stable. "Records" said: "If you understand one, you can accomplish everything, and if you have no experience, you will be subdued by ghosts and gods."

The master said: "The way of the husband is the one that covers all things, and it is so vast! A gentleman cannot but lose his heart. Doing nothing is called heaven, doing nothing is called virtue, loving others and benefiting things is called benevolence, and the same is the same. To be great is to be great, to be broad in behavior, to be rich in diversity, to be rich. Therefore, to hold on to virtue is to be disciplined, to be successful in virtue is to be established, to follow the Tao is to be prepared, and not to be discouraged by things is to be complete. A gentleman is wise in The ten of these are the ones who have a great heart for doing things, and they are full of enthusiasm for the disappearance of all things. If so, gold is hidden in the mountains, and pearls are hidden in the abyss; Ai Yao; not prosperous, not ugly and poor. Don't stick to the interests of the whole life as your own, and don't take the king's world as your own. Show it. Show it. Everything is a house, and life and death are the same."

The master said: "The way of the husband is that the deep is the place where he lives, and the darkness is the clearness. Metal and stone cannot be without sound. Therefore, metal and stone have a sound, and it cannot be heard without testing. Who can determine it! Establishing the origin and knowing through the gods, so its virtue is broad. When the heart comes out, there is something to pick it up. Therefore, the form is not born without the Tao, and the birth is not clear about the virtue. The poor form is born, and the virtue is clear. Those who are not kings are evil. Swaying! Suddenly come out, move suddenly, and all things follow! This is the man of Wang De. Seeing the darkness, hearing the silence. In the darkness, you can only see the dawn; in the silence, you can only hear the harmony. Therefore, it is deep and deep and capable of things; divine and divine but capable of essence. Therefore, it is connected with all things, and when there is nothing, it provides for its needs, and when it travels, it needs its accommodation, size, length, and distance."

The Yellow Emperor traveled to the north of Chishui, climbed the hills of Kunlun and looked south.Return it, leave its mysterious pearl.Make knowledge not available after searching for it, make Li Zhu search for it but not find it, make people criticize it but not find it.It is to make the elephant indistinct, and the image indiscriminately gets it.Huang Di said: "It's strange, is it possible to get the elephant?" Yao's teacher was called Xu You, Xu You's teacher was called Nie Que, Nie Que's teacher was called Wang Ni, and Wang Ni's teacher was called Qui Yi.Yao asked Xu You, "Can the gnawing be worthy of the sky? I asked Wang Ni to ask for it." Xu You said, "It's dangerous, it's rubbish in the world! The gnawing is a human being, smart and wise, and sensitive to numbers." , its nature surpasses that of man, yet it accepts heaven from man. He judges and forbids his faults, but he doesn’t know the origin of the faults. Does he match them with heaven? He rides on people without having heaven. Respect knowledge and fire gallop, side is the messenger of the thread, side is the thread of things, side is looking around and responding to things, side is responding to everyone, side and materialization and has no beginning and perseverance. How can the husband be enough to match the sky! Although, there is a family If you have ancestors, you can be many fathers but not many fathers. Order is the rate of chaos, disasters in the north, and thieves in the south."

Yao looked at Hua, and Hua Fengren said: "Hey, saint! Please bless the saint, so that the saint will live." Yao said: "Leave." "Make the saint rich." Yao said: "Leave." "Make the saint more male. "Yao said: "Leave." Feng Ren said: "Shou, rich, many men, what people want. Women alone do not want, what is evil?" Yao said: "Many men are more fearful, rich are more troublesome, Longevity is a lot of humiliation. It is the three, not because of cultivating virtue, so I resigned." Feng Ren said: "At first I regarded women as sages, but now I am a gentleman. I am born with all people, and I must confer the position. Many men are conferred. If there is a job, why do you fear it? If you are rich and share it among others, what is there to do? A sage lives in a quail and eats enough, and a bird walks without showing. If there is a way in the world, everything will prosper; if there is no way in the world, Then cultivating virtue is idle. A thousand-year-old is weary of the world, and he goes to the immortals, rides on the white clouds, and reaches the land of the emperor. The three troubles will never come, and the body will always be safe, so why should he be humiliated?" Excuse me." Feng Ren said: "Retire!"

Yao ruled the world, and Bo Chengzi Gao established himself as a prince.Yao conferred Shun, Shun conferred Yu, and Bo Chengzi Gao resigned to farm for the feudal lords.When Yu went to see him, he plowed in the wild.When Yu was at a disadvantage, he stood up and asked him, saying: "In the past, when Yao ruled the world, my son was established as a prince. Yao granted Shun, and Shun granted it, but my son resigned as a prince to farm. Dare I ask why?" Zi Gao said: "In the past, Yao ruled the world. He did not reward, but the people persuaded, and did not punish, but the people feared. Today, the son rewards and punishes, but the people are not benevolent. Since then, virtue has declined, punishment has been established, and the chaos of future generations has begun since then! The master is doing evil? Nothing to do with me!" Yi Yi almost plowed and ignored it.

There is no Taichu, there is no name.One arises, one has no form.The virtue of things being born is called virtue; the unformed has a part, and it is called life; it is called life when it is left to move, and it becomes a living thing; it is called a shape; As at the beginning.Sameness is emptiness, emptiness is greatness.Beaks together.The beak sings together, and the heaven and the earth are in harmony.If it is combined with a sieve, if it is stupid or faint, it is called Xuande, which is the same as Dashun. The master asked Yu Laodan: "It is possible for someone to rule the Tao, but if it is free, it is not. There is a saying among the debaters: Li Jianbai, if you live in a county. If so, can you be called a saint?" Lao Dan said: "It is Xu Yiji It is the one who is tired and frightened. The persistent dog becomes thoughtful, and the ape stalks it from the mountains and forests. Qiu, let me tell you, what you can’t hear and what you can’t say: there are many people who have heads and toes, no hearts and no ears. ;There is nothing visible and intangible, and there is nothing that exists. Its movement and stop, its death and life, its abolition and rise, this is not the reason. There is rule in people. Forget about things, forget about heaven, and its name For forgetting oneself. Those who forget themselves are said to enter the heavens."

General Lv Fen saw Ji Che and said: "Lord Lu said that Fen also said: Please be taught. You will not be ordered to resign. I have already told you, but I don't know whether it will be accepted. Please try to recommend it. Pull out the subordinates of public loyalty and have no selfishness, how dare the people not listen!" Ji Cheju said with a smile: "If the words of the master are as good as the emperor's virtue, they are like the wrath of a mantis. Well! And if it is, then he will be in danger for himself, and there are many things on the platform, and there will be many people who will go to follow his tracks." The general said in surprise: "It is as good as what the master said! Although, I wish What the gentleman said is the wind." Ji Che said: "The great sage governs the world, shakes the hearts of the people, makes them into religions and changes customs, destroys their thieves and makes them all enter their own will. If the nature is self-acting, the people don't know it. The reason is so. If so, how can the elder brother Yao and the people taught by Shun be the same as the younger brother? If you want to be the same as virtue, you must live in your heart!"

Zigong traveled south to Chu, and back to Jin, passing through Hanyin. He saw a man of one zhang who would dig a tunnel into a well, hold a urn and pour out irrigation.Zigong said: "There is a machine here, soaking a hundred fields a day, using little force but seeing a lot of work, Master, don't you want it?" The gardener looked up and said: "What can I do?" , the back is heavy and the front is light, and the water is like pumping, and the number is like soup, and its name is 槔." The gardener made a face and smiled angrily: "I heard that my teacher, whoever has a machine must have a job, and whoever has a job There must be an intention. If the intention exists in the chest, you will be pure white and unprepared. If the pure white is not prepared, the spirit will be uncertain. If the spirit is uncertain, the Tao will not be contained. I am not ignorant, and I am ashamed and I will not do it." Zi Gong concealed However, I am ashamed, but I am not right.For a while, the gardener said: "Zixi is evil?" Said: "The disciples of Confucius." "The gardener said: "Isn't Zi Feifu erudite to imitate the sage, to cover the crowd, and to sell his reputation to the world with a single-stringed mourning song?You will forget your aura, fall into your body, and be almost ashamed!And the body can't be cured, so how can we rule the world!The son is gone, and there is no shortage of my affairs. "

Zi Gong lost his face, Xu Xu felt unsatisfied, and healed after traveling for thirty li.His disciples said: "What is wrong with Xiangzhi? Master, why did you see that he changed his face and turned pale all day long?" Said: "At the beginning I thought that there was only one person in the world, and I didn't know that there would be a wife again. I heard that Master: something Seeking success, striving for success, exerting less force, seeing more merit, is the way of a sage. This is not the case today. Those who uphold the way are complete in virtue, those who are complete in virtue are complete in form, and those who are complete in form are complete in spirit. Those who are complete in spirit are the way of a sage. To live and walk with the people without knowing what it is, is so pure! Utilitarianism and ingenuity will forget the wife's heart. If you are a wife, it is not because of your ambition, but because of your heart. Although you are praised by the world, you can get what you say I don't care about it; if the world is wrong, I lose what I mean, and I don't accept it. If the world is wrong, it will not benefit or harm, so it is called a person of perfect virtue! I call it a people of trouble." Against Lu, I told Confucius.Confucius said: "He pretends to practice the art of Hun Dun. He knows one, but does not know the other; he governs the inside but not the outside. He understands the basics, does nothing to restore simplicity, embraces the spirit of the body, and travels the world. In the middle, you will be stunned by evil? And how can you be able to understand the art of the Hunzhuan clan!"

The great gully in the east of Zhunmang meets the wind of the garden on the shore of the East China Sea.Yuan Feng said: "Sir, will you laugh at it?" Said: "Will it be big." Said: "Why do you want to laugh at it?" Said: "My husband's big hole is a thing, it is poured into it but not satisfied, and it is inexhaustible when it is poured. I will swim!" Yuan Feng said: "Master, don't you want to care about the people with cross-eyed eyes? I want to hear about the holy rule." Zhun Mang said: "The holy rule? Officials give without losing the appropriateness, and promote without losing their ability. After seeing his own situation and doing what he does, and doing what he says, he will become the world. Scratching his hands and looking at his fingers, all the people from all directions will come, this is called holy rule." "I would like to hear about virtuous people." Said: "A virtuous person , live without thinking, act without worry, and do not hide right and wrong, beauty and evil. The joy of sharing the benefits within the four seas, and the peace of giving together. It is like a baby losing its mother, and it is like walking and losing its way. Having a surplus of money but not knowing where it comes from, having enough food and drink but not knowing where it comes from, this is the appearance of a virtuous person." "I would like to hear about the gods." Kuang. Death is full, heaven and earth are joyful and everything perishes, and all things return to love. This is called chaos." Men Wugui and Chi Zhang Manji looked at the teacher of King Wu, and Chi Zhang Manji said: "It's not as good as the Yu clan! So we can get away from this trouble." Men Wugui said: "The whole world is governed, but there is the evil of the Yu clan's governance? It’s chaotic and then it’s governed?” Chi Zhang Manji said: “It’s a wish for the world to rule, but what’s the plan? You have the Yu family! There is also Yu’s medicine for ulcers. When you are bald, you apply hairdressing, and you seek medical treatment when you are sick. A filial son uses medicine. In cultivating a loving father, his appearance is ruthless, and sages are ashamed of him. In the world of supreme virtue, one does not honor the virtuous, one is not able to use one's ability, one is like a branch, and the people are like a wild deer. Uprightness without knowing it is righteous, love without knowing it is benevolence, true They don't know that they are loyal, they don't know that they are trustworthy, they act foolishly and don't think they are bestowed upon each other. It is the same way that there is no trace of deeds, and no rumors about things. A filial son does not flatter his relatives, and a loyal minister does not flatter his lord, so ministers and sons are prosperous.If a relative speaks as he says and does what he does well, then the world calls him an unworthy son; if a king speaks what he says and does what he does well, the world calls him an unworthy minister.But I don't know why it must be evil?The so-called secular so-called naturalness, the so-called good and good, is not called a flatterer!But the vulgar is stricter than relatives and respected by kings?If you call yourself a Taoist, you will act violently; if you call yourself a flatterer, you will act violently.And lifelong Taoists, lifelong flatterers, and congregational rhetoric gather the crowd, which is always different from the beginning to the end.Hanging clothes, setting colors, moving appearance, to flatter the whole world, instead of claiming to be flattering; being a disciple of the wife, communicating right and wrong, not claiming to be everyone, it is extremely stupid.Those who know that they are foolish are not really stupid; those who know that they are confused are not without confusion.Those who are confused will never understand; those who are foolish will never understand.When three people walk together and one person gets confused, the one who is suitable can still succeed, and those who get confused are rare;Now I am also confused by the world. Although I have something to pray for, I can't get it.It's so sad!The loud sound does not enter the inner ear, but the poplar and the emperor's water chestnut laugh while chewing.That's why high-sounding words are not limited to the hearts of the people; when words are not spoken, common words win.Confused by two fou bells, but not suitable.Now I am also confused by the world. Although I have prayers, my mediocrity can lead to evil!Knowing that it is unobtainable and strengthening it is another confusion!So don't push it if you explain it.Don't push, no one is more worried!A fierce man, who gave birth to his son in the middle of the night, suddenly picked up fire and looked at it, fearing that it would look like himself. A hundred-year-old tree is broken into a sacrificial statue, green and yellow with text, and it is broken in the ditch.Comparing sacrifice to the cut-off in the ditch, there is a difference between beauty and evil, and it is also the same as loss of nature.There is a difference between Zhi, Zeng and Shi, in doing righteousness, but they lose their nature.There are five types of loss of nature: first, the five colors confuse the eyes, making the eyes unclear; Refreshing; the fifth is fun to give up the heart and make the sex fly.These five are all harmful to life.But Yang and Mo Nai began to think that they got it, which is not what I said they got.If the husband gets sleepy, can he get it?Then the dove owl lies in the cage, and it can be obtained.Qiefu Qushe's sound and color are made of firewood, and the skinny snipe's crown and wat gentry's repair are used to make an appointment.The inner branch is full of firewood fences, and the outer heavy hand is still in the middle of the hand, but if you think you have it, it is a sinner who has passed his fingers and tigers and leopards are on the threshold of the bag, and he can get it!
