All things are cloudy, each with its own roots, each with its roots without knowing. Chaotic and unforgiving. (Zhuangzi).
The stories told by Zhuangzi are always far-reaching and long-lasting, even the names given to the characters
As mentioned above, the worldly master Guangchengzi, its meaning,But there are things that need to be won and broad-minded
As we will talk about next, the two roles of Yunjiang and Hongmeng,The cloud will be like a heavenly soldier with vast magical powersHarmony is like a collection of all wisdom;
When the heavens and the earth open, Hongmeng can be presented, more and more clearly, and their meeting will surely rub out bright sparks, showing an expected collision.
Yun will occasionally cruise to the east, and once, passing by the branches of the sacred tree, he meets Hongmeng who is there patting his thighs, cheering and jumping, like a cheerful lark;
When the cloud general saw Hongmeng for the first time, he was completely stunned, and couldn't help but stop in surprise, forgetting for a moment to continue to travel and soar;
Yun Jiang asked Hongmeng: "How are you old?"I can't imagine that your old movements are so light and exaggerated, what kind of imagery do you want to express?”
Hongmeng continued his jump and replied casually, "It's nothing,."It's just a matter of wandering freely
Yun Jiang said, "Can you accept my request?"”
Hongmeng said, "Please speak".
Yun Jiang said: "The qi of the heavens collides with each other, and the qi of the earth is sometimes stagnant, and the heaven and the earth are not in harmony, resulting in the impermanence of the four seasons, I hope to reconcile them, so that the yin, yang, wind, rain, light, and darkness meet our expectations, can you always teach me some methods?"”
When Hongmeng heard this, he replied contemptuously but affirmatively: "I don't know, I don't know." "I thought, isn't this wishful thinking!
After three years, Yun Jiang traveled to the land of the East again, and when he passed through the Song Kingdom, he met Hongmeng and couldn't help but be overjoyed
So, he quickly stepped forward to greet Hongmeng: "Are you okay?"Have you forgotten me?Yun Jiang kowtowed as he spoke, sincerely hoping to get Hongmeng's guidance and ask him how to be like him
Hongmeng said: ".I'm just free to roam, and I don't care about pursuitsI just move around as I please, and I don't care where I'm goingI'm just having fun.** to take care of whether the world is crowded!
Yun Jiang said: "I thought I was also traveling as I wanted, but I saw some people casting envious eyes from time to time;I can't help but proudly show myself to fly, to desire people to be close and emulate;Am I too floating, thinking I am on top. ”
Hongmeng said: "It's good to know what you do, don't disturb the natural norms, every thing in the world has its own specific life, we can only ask ourselves what we do, and we must not ask others how to do." ”
Yun Jiang realized in his heart: "Oh, I see. ”
Hongmeng said: "Alas, you go against the true feelings of things, as for what you want to do, you can only think for yourself!."”
Hongmeng's words made Yun Jiang's flying heart no longer stir;
Yun Jiang said: "It's a pleasure to meet you, and I hope that my future behavior will not disappoint you." ”
Hongmeng said: "Alas!Let's look at self-cultivation. Not everyone can reach the state of Wuxin, after all, there is still a long way to go；Everything will change in nature, and whether you will deviate from what you thought at the beginning, whether you will relieve your worries and release your spirit, and whether you will return to your true nature depends on how you grow!”
Yun Jiang said: "Thank you for your old teaching, I will keep your old words in my heart, and I will no longer dare to be as fluttering and self-righteous as before." Yun will get up and bow to Hongmeng, and then take his leaveFrom then on, I will also dance freely like Hongmeng and enjoy the wind as much as I like!
