"Imaginative. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

This is a sentence that almost all the later commentaries on the Zhuangzi must mention when introducing this book, of course, including the modern era. In the translation of Zhuangzi that Xu Guangling is now reading, there is this sentence in the preface.

In the past, Xu Guangling also regarded Zhuangzi as such a person, and "Zhuangzi" as such a book.

But today at Zhang Lao's place, as mentioned earlier, Xu Guangling's world view has been refreshed, and after the refresh, he realized that there are still some things in the world that are not known to ordinary people.

If Zhuangzi is really a "great master", assuming that this is a fact, then looking at the book "Zhuangzi", is it not "strange and rich in imagination"?

Not anymore.

Not at all.

It is very likely that a great master is faintly, leisurely, and casually recounting some experiences in the realm of the grandmaster, without exaggeration, without imagination, just starting from himself, and then appropriately using some figurative metaphors or explanations.

To put it simply, this is likely to be a manual, a manual for certain realms, levels, and experiences.

It's not boring, that's all.

But it should definitely have nothing to do with "imaginative" or anything.

And if "Zhuangzi" is like this, then "Lao Tzu" is not? With this idea, Xu Guangling suddenly felt that the "Lao Tzu" he had read many times in the past, and the more than 5,000 words that he knew by heart in each chapter, also began to become a little unfamiliar at this time.

If Zhuangzi is a great master, what level is Laozi?

An ordinary person? If it is said that the sky is broken, Xu Guangling will not believe it. At the same time, when I searched that night, a message about Lao Tzu also appeared in Xu Guangling's consciousness at this time, which was about Lao Tzu after he sent a letter to Guguan.

It is said that later, Lao Tzu "soared" somewhere.

This kind of nonsense, Xu Guangling took a look at it at that time, and felt that it was a waste of time, and even he saw that some scholars had verified Lao Tzu's specific "ascension location", and Xu Guangling felt that the egg hurt!

And the scholars who study this kind of thing, Xu Guangling doesn't know what kind of evaluation to give him.

But at this time, Xu Guangling suddenly became a little suspicious. At this moment, Xu Guangling felt that there were many things in history that he needed to re-recognize.

With such a thought, Xu Guangling saw the next sentence in the chapter of the great master of Zhuangzi: "Nan Bo Zikui asked the maiden: 'The son is old, and the color is like a child, why not?' ’”

Lust is like a child.

If he had seen it in the past, in fact, Xu Guangling had seen it before, and at that time his understanding was that this was a description, and the so-called crane hair and childish face were also.

But if you think about it, you will feel that this understanding is actually wrong. - The world will know that he is good at taking care of life, or good at maintaining health, and will not ask a "He Ye" at all, but will only ask, "How do you maintain it?"

Only a completely extraordinary phenomenon can make people can't help but ask, "What?"

At this time, Xu Guangling once again stretched out his right arm in front of his eyes, stretched out into his sight, then looked at it, put it down again, and put it back on the page.

His right hand has only been open for a day.

But after sleeping, his entire right arm has changed slightly. If it goes by for a long time, will his right arm be the same as "like a child", ?—— similar to a child's arm.

There will not be any flaws on it, whether it is on the outside or on the inside.

Because there is no obstacle to metabolism, qi and blood circulate vigorously in it, in other words, every cell is in the healthiest and most perfect state, and can always get the most adequate supply of nutrients.

In such a situation, there is no reason to be flawed, even a little!

Returning to this sentence, if Zhuangzi is really a "real person" or "great master" with five hearts, then this sentence is not at all Nan Bozi Kui asking the maiden, but Zhuangzi is introducing a phenomenon and making an explanation - "Those who have five hearts are all connected, their faces will not fade." ”

Is it still or not?

It is impossible for Xu Guangling to know for the time being, but this does not prevent him from making such a judgment or conjecture.

At this time, Xu Guangling couldn't help but recall the appearance of the two old gentlemen, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Chen.

"Old Zhang, your body is as strong as a pine, your breath is as heavy as a bell, your spirit is like a dragon, and you look like forty or fifty people. At this time, when he first met Mr. Zhang, Xu Guangling said to Mr. Zhang, "If you look at forty or fifty people", Xu Guangling was actually exaggerating.

If it is not an exaggeration, the real description should be, "Look at fifty or sixty people." ”

That is, add ten years to it.

Xu Guangling didn't know, anyway, it was seventy plus, how much, how old was it, whether it was a teenager, or a few tens of years.

However, even so, it is not quite in line with the description of "Seruozi", if Xu Guangling did not understand it wrongly.

What does it mean to be compliant?

You don't have to force yourself to be like a teenager in his teens and twenties, even if he is completely healthy and his metabolism is completely unhindered, there is still a difference between being older and younger after all, but at least he should be thirty or forty years old, in fact, forty years old is a little old.

And "showing old age", this characteristic should not exist.

But in the study, Zhang Lao admitted that he had opened the top.

Maybe only one trick is opened, after all, it can't resist the "general trend" of the whole body, and it must be all five hearts, or five tricks can be opened together, so that it can really be like a child, its shape is undefeated, and its face is not decaying?

Next, Xu Guangling's recollection shifted from Mr. Zhang to Mr. Chen.

There is no doubt that Mr. Chen looks younger than Mr. Zhang, but that doesn't mean anything. Mr. Chen also does not meet the "color like a child", of course, he is not all the same.

Xu Guangling's suspicion is that Mr. Chen may have three hearts, that is, the heart on the top of his head and the palms of both hands.

"Tong Yi Xin, you can stay underwater for about half an hour, Tong Sanxin, you can stay underwater for two or three to seven or eight hours, maybe some people can be longer, but it is also a matter of tolerance, the basic situation is that the three hearts are not yet able to breathe completely in the water. ”

"As to whether a person with five hearts can be self-sufficient, and thus stay in the water indefinitely, there is no clear record in the ancient books. ”

These were the words of Zhang Lao at that time.

Xu Guangling didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, he feels that there is a problem. - There is no record in the ancient books of those who have five hearts, is there one with one heart and three hearts?
