Ku Ding is Wen Huijun's solution to the cow", which is a famous fragment in Zhuangzi's "Health Master", and it is also a well-known article. In most cases, it is believed that the cow solving technique of "Ku Ding" in this article has reached the realm of transformation, and the knife is like a god, so as a metaphor for the way of health preservation that follows its nature.
This is not the case. The realm of this article is far from this, not only the method of people's health preservation for a hundred years, but also the use of human affairs to illustrate the way of heaven and earth. Everything in the world is not the truth, it is all an image. As said in "Yi", heaven, earth and man are all images.
The key lies in the "knife" in Ku Ding's hand. The wisdom metaphorized by this knife can be talked about from two aspects, one is "no thick swimming in the room", and the other is "good knife and hidden".
, no thick in the room
Ku Ding is Wen Huijun's cow, the hand touches, the shoulder leans, the foot walks, the knee foot, the stunning, the knife is played, all the alto. The dance of "Mulberry Forest" is the meeting of the "Sutra Head". Wen Huijun said: "Hey!."Wonderful!That's it”
Ku Ding for Wen Huijun to solve the cow, hands, shoulders, feet, knees and other limb movements are all in the middle, suddenly knife, but the solution, this process of unraveling the cow, like a wonderful ** and dance, so that Wen Huijun was fascinated and amazed.
Therefore, he sighed, your skills have reached such a state?It should be noted here that what Wen Huijun is intoxicated with is nothing more than Ku Ding's cow-solving technique. Ku Ding also deliberately used this little skill to show off, so that Wen Huijun entered the artistic conception of admiration and intoxication in advance. In this way, we can further elaborate on the Dao education of the self.
It's like a certain master who, in order to propagate his own doctrine, first shows how much money and fame I have earned by virtue of this doctrine, which is of practical significance, and can only fit into the hearts of everyone. Zhuangzi has always made good use of this method, and before he promoted the wisdom of self-theory, he often told others the way of health preservationFor the sake of longevity, people adopt this theory. It can be seen that his painstaking efforts are very great.
According to the principles of heaven, criticize Da He, guide Da Yao, because of its course, the technology has not been tasted, and the situation is great!Liang Ku years more knife, cut also;The clan is more knife, and it is folded. The knife of this minister has been nineteen years, and thousands of cattle have been solved, and the blade is new to the sword. There is a gap between the other knots, and there is no thickness on the blade;With no thick into the room, there must be room for its recovery, and it is nineteen years and the blade is new in the sword.
Based on the above pleasing display of the art of solving the cow, it is only here that Ku Ding begins to reveal his own theory of wisdom - according to the principles of heaven. Heaven and earth nurture all things, all things are one, and their own nature is connected. Because of the same nature and the same essence, human beings can be common to all things.
How to connect with all things?It's about letting go of personal thoughts. Selfishness is the view of the corner, and the public heart is connected with heaven and earth. In this way, Ku Ding's skills have gone beyond the technical level and reached the realm of selflessness. Forget yourself, you can do without me;Without self, there is no self;Selflessness is public. The Grand Duke and communes with all things.
communion with all things without going against the nature of all things. Just like the knife in Ku Ding's hand, at the tendons, because of the selfless attachment, not stubborn with the obstacles, turn with the times, walk on the road, and pass smoothly. As a result, "technology and economic support", there is no stagnation.
Thus, nineteen years with a knife, its knife as new. That is to say, although there is a knife, the knife is as if it has not been used. On the contrary, many young and vigorous people are facing adversity, but they don't know how to take advantage of the trend, and life has just begun, and this knife has been blunted.
There is a gap between the other knots, and there is no thickness on the blade;With no thick into the room, there must be room for its recovery”。Qiankun incarnates all things, from one to many, everyone is self-reliant, divided into each other, everyone is for me, this is the room. If in the world of "there is", between you and me, and between each other, you can achieve "no self", and my knife is equivalent to "no thickness", like a spring breeze, you can do everything, without obstacles, and do nothing.
Life is full of obstacles. In fact, in essence, it is not how many obstacles there are in the external environment, but the key lies in my essence, which lies in this mind. Without self, there is no adversity;This heart has me, and thorns and bushes appear. With me, there is acceptance. Without me, who will suffer?If you are at ease, you will be in the realm of selflessness.
, good knife and hidden, this heart is the same as Qiankun
Although, every time I see that it is difficult, I am stunned to take it as a warning, and depending on it, it is too late. The knife is very small, and it has been solved, such as the land commission. Stand with a knife, look around for it, be full of ambition for it, and hide it with a good knife.
The trunk road is strong and vigorous, and the Qianyuan is circulating in all things. Kun Dao is soft, everything is perfect, all things in the universe are different, and everything is complete. The so-called supreme softness means not violating any of the natural will of each thing, so that it has its own positive life. There will not be any thing, because the will of "Kun Dao" is imposed, and then it will be compromised, and it will no longer show its own personality.
Qianyuan is one, and all things are the same. Kun Dao is the mother, all things are its sons, although there are many children, each with a temperament, the essence is still one. This is the meaning of "one is many". Qianyuan is the main one, the main one;Kun Dao is the main division, and the main life is in the thousands, that is, the principle of "Lizhen".
This "way of division and integration", like a "good knife", divides one into many and removes all things. Flowers have the beauty of flowers, grass has the green of grass, and all living beings are different.
And this knife is an invisible knife. After it has completed the incarnation of all things in the world, the self is hidden. Everything lives vividly in the universe, and it does not work on it.
The metaphor of Qiankun's "good knife and hidden" enlightens people: between the world and the world, adhering to the wisdom of Qiankun, when facing various things every day, when it is necessary to abolish all kinds of situations, when the unity of all things on the main road is benevolence, and the righteousness of all things in Kun is the righteousness, there is benevolence and righteousness, and only then can we see and act righteously, so as to realize "the house of goodness, there will be more celebration".
