The emperor of the South China Sea is the emperor, the emperor of the North Sea is the emperor, and the emperor of the ** is chaos. (Zhuangzi).
This is the last verse of Emperor Ying, and Zhuangzi uses the form of an allegory to reveal that the consequences of "reckless behavior" are very serious;
This is a warning to people that before they recognize the regularity of things, they must not just rely on their own thoughts, make judgments, and make their own opinions!
Take this story made up by Zhuangzi: It is rumored that the emperor of the South China Sea is named Yu, and the emperor of the North Sea is named Hu, and an emperor named Chao lives in **;
Although the distance between the two is very far, they can always come and go according to each other's agreements
For the sake of convenience, they chose the middle of the chaotic place to meet, and they were full of anticipation and joy when they got together.
See, if only formally, they seem to be like-minded, trying to respect each other;
Once, Yu and Su got together to discuss how to thank Chao Chao for his hospitality, they thought about it, and seemed to find that Chao Chao looked different from them, and said: "Everyone has seven holes, see the outside world with their eyes, listen to the sound of birds with their ears, smell the fragrance of flowers and plants with their noses, eat and drink with their mouths, and taste the delicious food in the world, but Chaos' only no, we might as well try to chisel the seven orifices for him, what's the matter?."”
So, every day, they chiseled a hole for Chaos for seven days, and as a result, Chaos died.
Who says it's not, in this world, there are still few people who do bad things with good intentions?
Therefore, it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of Lao Zhuang's idea of "ruling by doing nothing", especially to see that its positive significance lies in making people have more cognition of the regularity of things and less blind thinking as they please
There is only one goal: to follow the way of nature, which is the only right direction.
