Chapter 308 Old Master Confucius Can't Stand It... (Subscribe)
"Mozi, Yanzi, Huizi, Guanzi, Sunzi, or the current Zhuangzi, which one is stronger?"

"I admire Mozi. After all, if you are not Confucianism or Mohism, you must be awesome. In addition, this guy is an all-rounder. He is top-notch in theory, physics, and philosophy. Moreover, he is also a master of Confucianism and Mohism. He is definitely a genius."

"I feel that Yanzi should be very strong, but unfortunately he has not met Qi Henggong again."

"In that case, the tube should be the strongest."

"Guanzi is strong, but there are relatively few works left, so it is difficult to understand his academic level."

"Looking at it this way, I still approve of Sun Tzu. After all, the era in which Guan Zi lived was just for hegemony. Everyone just fought a few casually, and it was not as fierce as in the Warring States Period. Guan Zi would have to be ruled by a group of princes in the Warring States Period." abuse."

"Sun Tzu is great, but he only focuses on military strategists and cannot educate the people. In fact, I think Zhuangzi is the strongest. Although he did not become an official, his ideological realm is very high. Like the Qiushui chapter, Zi Feiyu, and the current Talking about swords... It feels like only Confucius can compare with such a state of mind."

"Damn, I just don't know if Zhuangzi's other works will come out later, I like this Zhuangzi so much."

I don't know if it's because Zhuangzi's realm is too high.

Or because Zhuangzi's character is too likable.

Or the subtleties of Zhuangzi's previous articles on Zifeiyu, Qiushui, and Shuojian.

In short.

At this time, everyone became extremely interested in Zhuangzi.

At the same time.

They have an incomparable yearning for the era of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, when a hundred schools of thought resonated together.

"It's hateful, I didn't live in that era, and I couldn't witness that era."

"Don't be hateful. If you lived in that era, whether you can survive is a problem. It's better to be in our modern age, so that we can see the academic contests of that era more clearly."

"Yes. In fact, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were a very long period of time. Many scholars had never met each other, and some of them were not in the same era. If you really lived in that era, even if you could live to be 100 years old , You can’t see so many disciples appearing with your own eyes.”

"Okay, okay, you are right. However, I really want to see Zhuang Zhou's works. Why do I have a feeling that Zhuang Zhou may be as good as Confucius."

"It's not that you feel that way, we all..."

……

"Mr. Chen Fan, there are more than 50 media and newspapers who want to reprint your work. Moreover, the manuscript fee they offer is also top-notch in the industry, 10 yuan per word."

"There is no problem with the manuscript fee."

Chen Fan nodded upon receiving the message from the editor of the Education Daily.

There are not many words in Zhuang Zhou's works, even if a word costs 10 yuan, the total sum is not much.

of course.

Chen Fan wasn't out to make money either.

In fact.

Money like this will be recycled by the system.

Chen Fan's main purpose is to be a tour guide.

This world is so wonderful, and the history of a series of characters contained in such a story is only enjoyed by myself, it is too lonely.

Such a wonderful world should be shared with the public.

Not to mention, a series of theories left by Zhuang Zhou.

Simultaneously.

Chen Fan also has some bad tastes.

He also really wants to see how the netizens, fans, scholars... feel when they see Zhuang Zhou's series of works.

Ok.

He felt it before.

Although Chen Fan only posted a few works by Zhuang Zhou, everyone has already been conquered by these works of Zhuang Zhou.

But actually.

The series of works published before are not the real core content of Zhuang Zhou.

Chen Fan has not released a single word of his truly core works.

"Mr. Chen Fan, some people call Zhuang Zhou Zhuang Zi, what do you think?"

"I agree with this statement. Zhuang Zhou is also one of the pre-Qin scholars, and he is relatively low-key. But his low-key does not mean that his theory is inferior to other scholars."

"You mean compared to Guanzi, Yanzi, Huizi, and Mozi?"

"Even Confucius."

"Teacher Chen Fan, how do you think Zhuangzi compares with Confucius?"

"Well, let's evaluate it."

Chen Fan shook his head.

This is really hard to say.

For Zhuangzi, Chen Fan loves him very much.

Simultaneously.

Chen Fan thought that Zhuang Zhou's thinking was also very advanced.

However, Chen Fan liked Zhuangzi, but he also respected Confucius very much.

If it is said that a certain sage's thinking surpassed that of Confucius, then no one would be convinced.

after all.

What has been passed down for thousands of years is the thought of Confucius.

But to say that Zhuangzi is weaker than Confucius, Chen Fan also has an opinion.

"So, Mr. Chen Fan, there is a new work by Zhuangzi."

"Hehe, it seems that you editors are really smart."

"This is our business, Mr. Chen Fan, send a few articles."

"There are not many articles, but one by one to appreciate."

No.

Even if it was just one article, Chen Fan felt that several chapters should be broken down.

After thinking about it, Chen Fan sent an article by Zhuang Zhou to the editor of the Education Daily: "Huizi said to Zhuangzi: "The king of Wei gave me the seed of a big gourd. My tree grows, but it is actually five stones. It is hard to hold the water slurry. It cannot be raised by itself. If you cut it open and think of it as a ladle, there will be nothing for it to fall into. If it is not, it is too big, and I will smash it because it is useless. Zhuangzi said: Master is too clumsy to use it. The medicine in the hands is always regarded as a matter of life. If the guest hears about it, please buy it for a hundred gold. The family gathered together and said: "I have been doing the medicine for a long time, but it is only a few gold. Today, I can sell a hundred gold for skills. Please go with it..."

The Huizi here is Zhuang Zhou's good friend, Huizi who is also from Song Dynasty.

And this one is from "Xiaoyaoyou".

Does it look a little different?
In fact.

The full text of Getaway Tour is relatively long, and what the public is familiar with is only the length of Mirs.

But in fact.

To get a complete understanding of Getaway, it is not enough to just read the chapter on the Mirs.

The translation of this article, that is, Huizi said to Zhuangzi: "The king of Wei gave me the seeds of a big gourd. After I planted it, the gourd produced was so big that it could hold five stones. I used it to hold water, but because of its texture It is too brittle to lift. Cut it open and use it as a gourd. It is too big and flat to hold anything. I don’t think it is not big, but because it is useless, I smashed it.

Zhuangzi replied: You are really not good at using large objects.There was a man in the state of Song who was good at making medicine to prevent cracked hands from freezing. His family has been washing silk wadding for generations.A customer heard about it and asked for a hundred gold to buy his prescription.The man of the Song Dynasty convened a discussion with the whole family and said: "My family has relied on this medicine for generations to rinse silk, and the annual income is only a few gold; now once you sell this prescription, you can get a hundred gold immediately. Please promise me to sell it. He sold the prescription.

After the customer bought the prescription, he went to lobby the king of Wu.At that time, the State of Yue invaded the State of Wu, and the King of Wu ordered him to be a general to fight the Yue people in a water battle in winter.It is also a prescription for preventing cracked hands. Some people get rewards for it, while others only use it for rinsing silk. This is because of the different methods of use.Now you have a big gourd that can hold five stones, why don't you tie it around your body as a waist boat and float in the rivers and lakes?But you are worried that it is too big and has no place to accommodate it, which shows that your heart is too shallow and narrow! "

There are a lot of stories in Zhuangzi about the bickering between him and Keiko.

Don't watch this bickering.

Fighting and fighting, a series of philosophies of the sages came out.

"Wow Kaka, I like the bickering between Zhuangzi and Keiko. It seems that Keiko can't win every time."

"No, sometimes when Zhuangzi can't win a fight, he starts to be funny, like Zi Feiyu."

"Then what does this mean?"

"It feels similar to what Zhuang Zhou said about the use of uselessness, but it is different. Zhuangzi seems to be criticizing Huizi, who can't turn useless things into useful things."

"Understand, understand."

……

It can be said.

Chen Fan published Zhuang Zhou's works in the Education Daily, each of which attracted the attention of others.

As for some people saying they don't understand, that's okay.

There are big guys to translate for you.

Not only will he translate it for you, but he will also explain to you what the article actually means in connection with the context.

This also made Chen Fan nod secretly.

The charm of words is not comparable to that of videos and pictures.

When you slowly study the meaning of the text, you will be able to understand what Zhuangzi thought and thought more than 2000 years ago.

But actually.

The quarrel between Zhuang Zhou and Keiko is not just to show that useless things can be used.

He also has a deeper meaning.

As for how to understand its deeper meaning.

Then, you must read on.

The next day, Chen Fan sent another article to the Education Daily:
[Jian Wu asked Uncle Yu Lian, saying: I heard that Yu Jieyu was big and wrong, and he went but never reversed.I am terrified of his words.It's like a river, but it's infinite; it's very different, and it's not human.Uncle Lian said: "What do you mean by his words? He said: "The mountain shot by Miaogu is home to gods and men. The skin is like ice and snow, and the body is like a virgin. It does not eat grains, absorbs the wind and drinks dew, rides the clouds, and rides the flying dragons. Traveling beyond the four seas; his concentration makes things ripe without blemishes. I thought I was crazy and didn't believe it.]

Both Jianwu and Lianshu are Taoist priests described by Zhuangzi.

These two Taoist priests may be real people, or they may be fictional.

There are many of these in Zhuangzi's works, most of which are fictional.

Simultaneously.

In the Analects of Confucius, there is also such an example.

What did he mean by that?

Jianwu asked Uncle Lian for advice: I heard the conversation from Jieyu, the big talk has no boundaries, and once I talk about it, I can't return to the original topic.I was very frightened by his speech, as if the Milky Way in the sky had no boundaries, and it was very different from the speech of ordinary people, it was indeed too unreasonable.Uncle Lian asked: What did he say?Jianwu recounted: On the distant Gushe Mountain, there lived a god-man, whose skin was as white as ice and snow, and whose body was as soft and beautiful as a virgin.His expression is so focused that everything in the world is free from disease and the grain is plentiful every year.I think this is all falsehood and not credible at all. "

After hearing this, Uncle Lian said: "Yes! I can't appreciate patterns and colors with the blind, and I can't listen to the music of bells and drums with the deaf. Is it just that there are deaf and blind in the body? There are also deaf and blind in the mind. Ah! These words seem to be referring to you. That man of God, his virtues are mixed with everything in order to obtain the governance of the whole world. Who would be so busy taking the management of the world as a serious matter! Such a person, nothing outside can hurt him, the torrential flood cannot submerge him, and the great drought in the world melts the gold and stone, scorches the earth and mountains, and he does not feel the heat. How can he take it as his own responsibility to be busy managing all things! Someone from Song State in the north sold hats to Yue State in the south, and the people of Yue State had no hair and tattooed patterns all over their bodies There is no place to use a hat. Yao governed the people in the world well and stabilized the political situation in the sea. He went to Gushe Mountain and the north of Fenshui to meet the four masters who had attained the Tao. .”

If it is said that Zhuang Zhou and Keiko's mutual hatred made everyone still discuss whether it is useful or useless.

Then.

got here.

When it is written in the article, there are gods and men living in the mountain where Miaogu shoots.The skin is like ice and snow, the skin is like a virgin, does not eat five grains, absorbs wind and drinks dew, rides on clouds, rides flying dragons, and swims beyond the four seas;Everyone was shocked by these words and screamed.

"Nimma, this imagination is too scary."

"The mountain of Miaogushe is home to gods and men. The skin is like ice and snow, and the naoyue is like a virgin...so beautiful."

"I was thinking, is there such a beautiful fairy in fantasy novels?"

"Don't ask, if you ask, you don't have it."

Many people sighed.

Don't say anything else.

Just by imagination, people today are not as good as the ancients more than 2000 years ago.

Together, this is really a bit embarrassing.

of course.

This article is about immortals on the surface, but it is not about immortals.

He just sent the name of the immortal, and wrote that the gods and immortals are completely different from us ordinary people.

This is also an illusion of Zhuangzi's inner thought realm.

This is what he thinks of immortals and gods.

Such a fairy and god-man not only has various abilities, but what is even more rare is that he has no interest in anything in the world.

then.

Here comes the problem.

How can we achieve such a realm of immortals and gods?

……

"Brother Fan, Brother Fan, come out."

"what happened again?"

"Sister, you've done a good job."

"No way."

"Why not? Look at the fairy tale you wrote about Gushe Mountain...it's so beautiful, but you only wrote half of it. I feel like you wrote this article by breaking it down into several chapters."

"Uh, I was discovered by you."

"I rely on it, really."

Everyone in the fan group gave Chen Fan a middle finger.

Chen Fan didn't blush, and said, "How can you not take it apart? If you don't study such a classic article, how can you understand the purpose of this article?"

"Yes, yes, you are right, how can you become a fairy?"

"Don't worry, take your time, I'll tell you another story about the roc."

"What does this have to do with the story of the roc?"

"Do you still remember that Li Bai wrote a lot of poems about rocs?"

This said.

Everyone remembered.

At that time, Chen Fan once told the story of Li Bai and Dapeng in "There Are More Than Three Hundred Tang Poems".

and.

Li Bai wrote poems about Dapeng when he first came out of the mountain and when he died.

When I came out of the mountain, I said, "The big roc rises with the same wind in one day, soaring up to [-] li.If the wind breaks down, it can still shake the dark water. 】

From this, we can see Li Bai's ambition when he came out of the mountains.

When he passed away, he said, "The Great Peng flies and shakes the eight descendants, and the sky destroys and the strength is exhausted."The rest of the wind stirs the world, and the hibiscus is hung with stone sleeves. 】

Although at the time of his death, Li Bai felt that his roc had lost his strength before it flew into the sky, which is really a pity.

But even so, Li Bai also believes that such residual wind can still inspire future generations.

So it can be seen from this.

The roc had a great influence on Li Bai.

In fact.

The story of the roc bird comes from Zhuangzi.

Chen Fan said slowly: "There is a fish in the northern sea. Its name is Kun. The size of Kun is unknown to thousands of miles. When it changes into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back is not It is known that it can grow to thousands of miles; when it rises up and flies, its spread wings are like clouds in the sky. This roc will migrate to the southern sea when the wind blows. The southern sea It's a big natural pool..."

Done.

Chen Fan sent the first paragraph of the Happy Journey to the editor of the Education Daily: "There is a fish in the North, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is; it turns into a bird, and its name is Peng. Back, I don’t know how many thousands of miles it is; it flies in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. It is a bird, and the sea will migrate to Nanming. Nanming, Tianchi also..."

……

"Teacher, how do you think Zhuangzi compares with Confucius?"

"From what we know so far, Zhuangzi is still slightly inferior to Confucius."

"Teacher, can you talk more?"

"Although Zhuangzi is indeed very high in his ideological realm, and he is also a great philosopher. However, there is still a certain gap with the Confucianism created by Confucius. Not to mention other things, just now, most of us accept Confucianism .Although there are some related to the promotion of various dynasties, and some are related to the fact that Confucianism is more suitable for ruling, but this is also the proof that Confucius created the classics of Confucianism."

"Teacher, it seems that Zhuangzi released a new work."

"Oh yeah, what's it called?"

"It's called a getaway?"

"Xiaoyao, what is Xiaoyao?"

"If the husband takes advantage of the righteousness of the heaven and the earth, and guards against the debate of the six energies, if he wants to swim infinitely, he is free and easy. Therefore, it is said: all people have no self, gods and people have no merit, and sages have no name..."

"I……"

In the classroom of the Chinese Department of Peking University, the tutor Huang Yongping was taken aback: "Does any student have the full text of the getaway?"

"Mentor, I'll send it to you."

Huang Yongping took out his mobile phone, clicked on it and read it word by word.

After a while.

Huang Yongping said, "Well, students, I take back what I just said."

Yes.

After reading this article "A Happy Journey", Huang Yongping was completely restless.

If he was not in class, he really wanted to say: "This kind of ideological realm, even if Confucius is on stage, some people probably can't stand it."
