"Zhuangzi Outer Chapter Autumn Water Seventeen" When the autumn water arrives, all the rivers fill the river.The Jingliu is so big that between the two Zhuzhu cliffs, there is no distinction between cattle and horses.So Yan Hebo was very pleased with himself, and made all the beauty of the world his own.Traveling eastward along the current, as far as the North Sea is concerned, looking eastward, you can't see the end of the water.So Yan Hebo began to turn his face, looked at the ocean and sighed: "There is a wild saying that says: Hearing the Tao, he thinks that he is invincible. I call it that. I have heard about Shao Zhongni's words, but I don't care. Boyi's righteousness, I have never believed in it. Now I see that the child is difficult and poor, but if I am not at the door of the child, I will be perishable. I always see and laugh at the generous family." Beihai Ruo said: "The frog in the well cannot speak to the sea. , Confined to emptiness; summer insects cannot speak to ice, but to the time; Qushi cannot speak to Tao, they are bound to teaching. Now you come out of the cliff, look at the sea, you know you are ugly, You will be able to talk about Dali. There is no water in the world greater than the sea: when all rivers return, you don’t know when they will stop and not fill; The flow of rivers and rivers cannot be counted. But I have never used this to compare myself to the sky and the earth, and to receive energy from yin and yang. I am between the sky and the earth, like small stones and small trees in the mountains. Less, but also more self-sufficiency! Considering that the four seas are between heaven and earth, is it not like the sky is in Daze? Considering that China is in the sea, is it not like rice is in Taicang? The number of things is ten thousand, and people People live in Kyushu, where grains and food are born, boats and carts are connected, and people live in one place. This is more than all things. Doesn’t it seem that the end of the hero lies in the body of the horse? The connection between the five emperors and the struggle between the three kings , the worries of the benevolent, and the labors of the scholars, that’s all! Boyi’s words are for fame, and Zhongni’s words are for knowledge. This is also more self-sufficient, doesn’t it seem that Er Xiang’s self-sufficiency is more than water?”

He Bo said: "Is it possible that I am big in the world and small in the end?" Beihai Ruo said: "No. Husband and things are infinite in quantity, endless in time, impermanent in part, beginning and end for no reason. Therefore, great knowledge can be viewed from near and far, So small but not too few, big but not too much: the amount of knowledge is infinite. Because of the present, so it is far away but not boring, and it is not boring: knowing the time is endless. Observe the surplus and emptiness, so gain without joy, loss without joy Worry: Knowing is impermanent. It is clear and clear, so life is not spoken, and death is not calamity: Knowing the end and the beginning cannot be explained. What people know is not as good as what they don't know; when they are born, they are not If it is not yet born, if it is too small to seek the limit of its greatness, it will be confused and cannot be self-satisfied. Looking at it from this point of view, how can we know that the smallest thing is enough to determine the smallest thing, and how can we know the relationship between heaven and earth? Enough to be poor enough to reach the Great Domain!"

He Bo said: "Everyone who argues in the world says: The most refined is formless, the most immeasurable. Is it faith?" Beihai Ruo said: "If you look at the big things carefully, you can't understand them. , the small is the micro; the big is the Yin: so it is different. This momentum has also. Those who are fine and rough are expected to be in the form; those who are invisible can not be divided by number; those who cannot be encircled can be counted. Nothing can be poor. Those who can speak, are the rough things; those who can express the meaning, the things are refined; those who can’t talk about what they say, and can’t perceive the meaning, are not expected to be fine and rough. Therefore, the behavior of adults: Don't do harm to others, don't show much benevolence; don't act for profit, don't be humble; don't fight for goods and wealth, don't give up; don't borrow people, don't eat too much, don't be cheap and corrupt; behave differently , don't make many differences; in order to follow the crowd, don't be cheap and flattering; the world's honor is not enough to persuade, and killing shame is not enough to be humiliating; knowing right and wrong can't be divided, and small things can't be ignored. Wen said: Taoists don't hear, to There is no virtue, and adults have no self. It is also the most important."

He Bo said: "If things are outside, if things are inside, when the evil comes, Ni is noble and humble? When the evil comes, and Ni Xiaoda?" Bei Hai Ruo said: "If you look at it with the Tao, there is no high or low thing; Seeing it from the vulgar point of view, high and low do not depend on oneself. Viewing it from the perspective of difference, if it is big because it is big, everything is big; if it is small because it is small, everything is not small. Knowing that the world is like rice Knowing that the end of the hair is a hill and a mountain, you can only see it. Viewing it with merit, because of what you have, everything exists; because of what you don’t have, everything does not exist. Knowing the opposite of things and not If there is no phase, then the merits are determined. Viewing it with interest, because it is what it is, everything is not the same; because it is not what is not, then everything is not what is not. Knowing that Yao and Jie are natural and different, It is interesting to see. In the past, Yao and Shun gave way to the emperor, Zhi and Kuai gave up and died; Tang and Wu fought to become the king, and Bai Gong fought and perished. From this point of view, the ritual of fighting for abdication is the behavior of Yao and Jie. There are times when there is high or low, but it is not normal. Liang Li can rush to the city but not suffocate the hole, and she talks about different weapons; Picking up fleas, observing the end of the hair, and seeing the hills and mountains when the eyes are angry in the daytime, the words are different. Therefore, it is said: "The master is right without wrong, and the master is governed without chaos? This is the principle of the future and the earth, and the emotion of all things. It is like a master of heaven. But there is no land, the teacher is yin and there is no yang, it is impossible to understand! However, if you don’t give up, if you are not stupid, you will slander! ;At that time, those who go with the custom are called righteous people. Silent to He Bo, the door of female evil to know the noble and the humble, the family of the small and the big!"

He Bo said: "Then what do I do? Why don't I do it? If I resign from the fun and give up, what will I do?" Bei Hai Ruo said: "From the perspective of the Tao, what is noble and what is cheap? It’s a big challenge with the Tao. How little is too much is called giving thanks; if there is no one, it is different from the Tao. Strict is like a king in a country, and its selfless virtue; Yaoyao is like a society, and its selfless blessing; general It is as if the four directions are infinite, and it has no boundaries. It embraces all things, which bears its wings? It is called no direction. All things are equal, which one is short and which one is long? Dao has no end, and things have death and life. Fullness does not depend on its shape. Years cannot be counted, and time cannot be stopped. The news is full and empty, and the end has a beginning. This is the reason for the meaning of the words, and the theory of all things. The birth of things is also like a sudden rush. Without movement Unchanging, always changing. What is it, why is it not? Fugu will transform itself."

He Bo said: "Then what is the value of morality and evil?" Beihai Ruo said: "Those who know will be able to understand reason, those who are able to understand reason must understand power, and those who understand power will not harm themselves with things. It can be hot, water can not drown, cold and heat can not harm, animals can not be thieves. It is not to say that it is thin, but it is safe and dangerous. Inside, people are outside. Virtue depends on heaven. Knowing that the behavior of heaven and man is based on heaven, and their positions are based on attainment. They bend and stretch, but they must speak extremely." He said: "What is heaven? What is man?" Beihai Ruo said: " Oxen and horses with four legs are the heavens; the head of the horse and the nose of the ox are the people. Therefore, it is said: there is no way to destroy the sky with people, and there is no way to kill life with no reason. ."

Kui has pity for gnats, cockroaches have pity for snakes, snakes have pity for wind, wind has pity for eyes, eyes have pity for heart.Kui said that he said: "I can't do it with one foot. I can't do it. I can't do it. Today, I can use ten thousand feet, what can I do?" He said: "No, don't you see your husband's saliva? When you spray it, the big one is like a pearl. The small ones are like fog, and the miscellaneous ones are innumerable. Now I will move my heavenly secret, but I don't know why." The snake said to the snake: "I walk with many feet, but I can't compare with my son's lack of feet. Why?" The snake Said: "If you are moved by heaven's secrets, how can you be easy to be evil? I am safe enough!" The snake said to the wind, "If you move my spine and flanks, it seems to be like that. Today, it rises fluffy from the North Sea, fluffy Flooded into the South China Sea, but seems to be nothing, why?" Feng said: "Well, I fluffed up from the North Sea and entered the South China Sea, but pointing at me is better than me, and I am also better than me. Although, Husband I am the only one who breaks big trees and spoils big houses." Therefore, it is a big victory to think that the small ones are invincible.For the big winner, only a saint can do it.

Confucius traveled in Kuang, and the people of Song Dynasty surrounded him several times, and the string songs continued.Zilu came to see him and said, "What's your pleasure, Master?" Confucius said, "Come on, I'm a girl. I've been hiding from poverty for a long time, but I can't help it. I'm destined. I've been looking for it for a long time, but I can't. It's time. When Yao, If Shun had an infinite number of people in the world, he did not know what to gain; when Jie and Zhou were ignorant of people in the world, he did not know what to lose. It is the courage of a hunter; it is the courage of a martyr to put a white blade in front of it, and see death as if it were life; it is the courage of a sage to know that there is life in poverty, to know that there is a time for understanding, and not to be afraid in the face of adversity. There is some restraint!" No matter how many times, the armored man entered, and said: "I thought it was a tiger, so I surrounded it; now it is not, please resign and leave."

Gongsun Long asked Wei Mou: "Long Shao learned the way of the ancient kings, and he was long and clear about benevolence and righteousness; the contract is different, and the distance is firm; otherwise, it is not necessary; the knowledge of the hundreds of schools is poor, and the debate of the poor: I am myself. I think I have reached it. Now I hear Zhuangzi’s words, but I’m at a loss. I don’t know whether it’s not enough or not? Knowing it is as good as it is? Now I have nothing to open my beak, so I dare to ask him. "Mr. He said with a smile: "Is the son alone not hearing the frog in the well of the husband? The turtle in the East China Sea said: I am happy with it! Jumping out of the beam is almost above the dry well, and entering the rest is like a gap in the mouth (the word for "sorrow" is replaced by "tile" for "heart") ") cliff. If you go to the water, you will catch the armpit and hold the chin, but if you kick the mud, you will not be able to destroy the tarsus. There is no one who can do it. And the husband is good at the water of a gully, and the joy of crossing the sill well, This is also the end. Does Master Xi come to observe from time to time? The turtle in the East China Sea has not yet entered its left foot, but its right knee has already slipped. So he lingered and stopped, and told Zhihai: "A thousand miles away is not enough to lift it up; a thousand feet is not enough to lift it up. The height is not enough to be extremely deep. In the time of Yu, ten years and nine years of flooding, but the water is not beneficial; in the time of Tang, eight years and seven droughts, but the cliffs are not detrimental. Those who advance and retreat, this is also the great joy of the East China Sea. Then the frog in the Kanjing heard it, and was startled, and the rules were lost. Moreover, I don’t know what is right and wrong, but I still want to see what Zhuangzi said. Mosquitoes carrying mountains, business gnats galloping rivers, they are definitely not up to the task. And if you don’t know how to talk about the most wonderful words, but the one who adapts to the momentary profit, is it right or wrong? The frog in the well? And the other side is flying in the yellow spring and ascending to the emperor. There is no north in the south, four solutions are clear, and it is unpredictable; there is no east and no west, it starts from Xuanming, and it is opposite to Datong. Zi is a rule, but seek it to observe it, and ask it to argue. Isn’t the land too small? I’m going! I’ve never heard of my husband, Shouling Yuzi, who studied in Handan? I haven’t gained national power, and I’ve lost my old ways, and I just crawled back to my ears. Because of forgetting the son, you will lose the son's karma." Gongsun Long sneered and couldn't agree with each other, and he couldn't let go of his tongue, so he fled away.

Zhuangzi fished in Pushui.The king of Chu sent two senior officials to go ahead, saying: "I hope that the territory will be exhausted!" Zhuangzi held his pole and said, "I heard that there is a tortoise in Chu, and it has died for three thousand years. The king's towel is hidden in the temple. Above. For this tortoise, would you rather die to leave the bones and be more expensive? Would you rather be alive and drag its tail in the paint?" The second doctor said: "I would rather be born and have its tail dragged in the paint." Zhuangzi said: "Go! Will trail in paint."

Huizi met Liang, and Zhuangzi went to see him.Or it is said that Huizi said: "Zhuangzi came to replace his son." So Huizi was afraid, and searched in the middle school for three days and three nights.Zhuangzi went to see it, and said: "There is a bird in the south, its name is the owl, do you know it? The husband owl originates from the South Sea and flies over the North Sea. It doesn't stop at the plane tree, it doesn't eat unless it's practiced, and it doesn't drink unless it's a sweet spring. Got rotten rats, passed them by, looked up at them and said: Scared! Now you want to scare me with your son's Liang kingdom?" Zhuangzi and Huizi swim on Haoliang.Zhuangzi said: "Swift fish swim leisurely, which is the joy of fish." Huizi said: "You are not a fish, how do you know the joy of fish?" Zhuangzi said: "You are not me, how do you know that I don't know the joy of fish?" Huizi said "I'm not a son, I don't know the son; I'm not a fish, I don't know the joy of the fish, it's all!" Zhuangzi said: "Please follow the basics. The master said that if you know the joy of fish, you know me. Ask me if you know it. I know Haoshang also."
