In this noisy world, we often feel the twists and turns and confusion of life. Perhaps it is the wisdom of Zhuangzi that can bring some sustenance to our hearts. Historically, Zhuangzi has been regarded as a self-cultivation teacher, and his thoughts are profound and vivid, like a bright lamp, illuminating our confused minds.
The world of Zhuangzi
Zhuangzi lived in an era when etiquette collapsed and happiness was broken, but he chose to communicate with the spirit of heaven and earth alone. It's like an extraordinary adventure, and it's amazing. In his writings, we see that leisure, all things, and the way of heaven seem to be a revelation of life. It makes me wonder if we can also find peace of mind in the chaos
The wisdom of life in the Zhuangzi
Opening "Zhuangzi" seems to usher in a feast of wisdom. He said, gain but not rejoice, loss but not worry. This seems to tell us that the gains and losses of life are just the passing of the years, so why bother with it?Uncle Sun Ao laughed about being an official and being dismissed, and his calmness was breathtaking. It turns out that the ups and downs of life complement the wisdom of Zhuangzi.
Philosophy between gains and losses
Zhuangzi tells us that there is no absolute gain and loss, good and bad, loss and win in the world. Just as an oak tree can live a long life because it does not become a tree, people can enjoy stability because they are ordinary. See, this is a realm that transcends gains and losses. When we see everything as predestined, and losing and gaining become the cycle of life, entanglement becomes superfluous.
Ready to go
Heroes throughout history have been ready to go. Gao Shi and Zhuge Liang both accumulated strength in the ordinary, and finally realized their life ambitions. This tells us that success often requires a time of accumulation, just like a roc bird can fly high. Perhaps, we are also at the moment of accumulation, just waiting for the wind to surge.
Stability in the ordinary
There are many ups and downs in life, and the gains and losses are difficult to measure. Both Zhuangzi and the Tao Te Ching tell us that misfortune and fortune are relied upon, and fortune and misfortune lurk. It is a kind of wisdom to find stability in the ordinary. Sun Shuao's calmness makes people appreciate the deep meaning of ordinary life. Perhaps, we can also find extraordinary peace in the ordinary.
If a person drinks water, he knows whether he is warm or cold
Other people's happiness is not what you see. As the saying goes, if a person drinks water, he knows his own warmth and coldness. Living in your own place and experiencing your own feelings is perhaps the most precious. The happiness of life does not lie in the judgment of the outside world, but in the clarity of the heart. Perhaps, in our own lives, we can find true happiness.
Live your inner calmness
Hui Shi, a friend of Zhuangzi, was well versed in the way of Zhuangzi. He chooses to be himself rather than obsessed with comparisons. Yin Hao's persistence reminds us that in life, we should be like Yin Hao and accept ourselves firmly。Other people's values may not be suitable for you, and going your own way and living your own life is the truest happiness. Li Bai's poems tell us that Dapeng rises with the wind one day and soars up to 90,000 miles. But before that day comes, there needs to be a long build-up. The difficulties in life are like a time of accumulation in life. Only in a life that cannot be restarted can we live calmly and calmly, as Zhuangzi said.
The carrion of fame and fortune
Zhuangzi's attitude when fishing in Pushui is thought-provoking. He would rather be like a turtle trailing its tail in the mud than be a worshiped turtle. The fame and fortune of life are nothing more than a pile of carrion for Zhuangzi. What he pursues is a life of leisure, detached from the world. Perhaps, we can also find the pure land of the soul in the chaos of fame and fortune.
Emphasis is poor
Zhuangzi's wisdom is thought-provoking, and overfocusing can be counterproductive. Su Shi said: "Effort is poor", indicating that excessive effort is often not as calm. In life, going with the flow and taking things calmly may allow us to go further. Just like cooking, the knife is still sharp, which may be the secret of success.
Push the boat along the river, a thousand miles a day
Zhuangzi's wisdom is like a panacea, which makes people have an epiphany. In many things in life, overexertion is often counterproductive. The way Ku Ding unravels the ox tells us that pushing the boat along the river is a thousand miles a day. Perhaps we can also follow the trend and move forward calmly in the river of life, so as to better reach the distant goal.
In the wisdom of Zhuangzi, we see the deep meaning of life. Between gains and losses, stability in the ordinary, ready to go, such as people drinking water, cold and warm self-knowledge, living out the calm and calm of the heart, the carrion of fame and fortune, the focus is poor, and the boat is pushed along the river. These are not only Zhuangzi's reflections, but also a guide to life. Perhaps, when we understand these philosophies, the twists and turns of life will seem interesting and forgiving, like a huge picture scroll, allowing us to think more deeply and live more calmly.
In the busy life, perhaps we can also be like Zhuangzi, the pursuit of inner peace, find the extraordinary in the ordinary, ready to go, face the gains and losses with a calm attitude, and live our own wonderful. This is just as Zhuangzi said: "Gain but not happy, loss but not worry." "Life is full of flavors, gains and losses are common, why not let go of the entanglement and move forward lightly?I hope you and I can find that calmness and calmness on the journey of life and live a wonderful life.
