It is impossible for a person to come back to life after death, so! It's useless to cry either.

Zhuangzi also talked about this in "The Master of Health", starting from the incident of "Lao Tzu's death". In the chapter of "Happiness", the story of "singing with a drum basin" is used to talk about life and death.

When people die, relatives cry, Zhuangzi and Taoists believe that this is human nature. But! If you grieve excessively, it is a punishment for yourself. Zhuangzi and Taoists believe that this is a "punishment of heaven" that cannot be avoided.

But! As a Taoist, as a person who sees through the world and understands things, he usually cries for a while when he loses his loved ones. Afterwards! and no longer grieved excessively. Because! Reason tells them that grief is useless. Grief and crying do not bring the dead back to life, they only bring grief to oneself and affect one's future life.

We still have to face the life we face.

Neither Zhuangzi nor Taoism is ruthless, not to let others cry! But! We have to face it sensibly.

His wife died, and Zhuangzi wept bitterly for a while. After Lao Tzu died, Qin Loss, who went to mourn, also cried a few times. If he had no feelings, if he was a cold-blooded animal, Zhuangzi would not have cried. Qin Yu is the same, not only will he not cry, but he will not go to mourn.

So! Both Zhuangzi and Taoism are sentient beings, and they are both temperamental people. It's just that! They're a little more sane.

Furthermore! From the perspective of Taoist theory, life is just a process. Human life, like the life of all things, is only a process of life, and it is all about death.

Hui Shi blamed Zhuangzi for not "singing with a drum", and what he said was also reasonable. He was later mourned, and he did not know that Zhuangzi had cried.

Zhuangzi did not care about Hui Shi's reproach. Instead! Take this opportunity to preach to Hui Shi.

Sermon! It is Zhuangzi's life's work.

During the Song Quecheng period, due to the coercion of Song Quecheng, he made the oath of "four forevers", so he did not preach in public again. During the reign of King Kang of Song Yan, King Kang of Song continued to attack Zhuangzi, which also made him unable to preach normally.

He could not preach in public, but he always insisted on preaching in secret. Whenever he had the opportunity, he preached.

Under the suppression of Song Kuocheng and King Song Kang, Zhuangzi was not only passive, but did not dare to preach publicly. In fact! He had a way to leave the Song Kingdom and travel around the world to preach. He can arrange for his wife and children to live in seclusion and incognito somewhere no one knows, and then! He could preach, too.

But! He didn't do that!

He thinks! Only by experiencing life, experiencing life, and having real life feelings, can we understand Taoism more deeply.

Without experience, there is no personal feeling, and there is no way to better understand the essence of Taoist teachings.

At that time, Master Yang Zhu clearly told Zhuangzi that he could not understand many aspects, not because he was stupid. But! There is too little experience in life.

Without life experience, you can't understand some very simple truths.

Zhuangzi told Hui Shi that he had cried. But! He didn't cry all the time. Because! Reason told him that even if he cried to death, he would not be able to cry and sell his children. So! It is useless to cry, it will only increase sorrow and punish oneself.

And then! Just explain to Hui Shi that everything in heaven and earth has evolved, and everything is the same, it is just a process of life. Man, like all things, is just a species that is born at the right time and dies at the wrong time.

So! People are going to die, and no one can avoid it.

In the "Theory of Things", Zhuangzi said: If a person is afraid of death, is it like a child who has lost his way and does not know to return home?

In the "Theory of Things", Zhuangzi also talked about the birth and death, as well as the cycle of life, and the evolution of the Tao.

In this sermon to Hui Shi, Zhuangzi repeated the Dongdong that he had talked about before, and the Dongdong that he had talked about in the "Theory of Things".

There is nothing in the world that is bigger than the end of the autumn, and Tarzan is the smallest; Why? Because! The end of the autumn is the end of the autumn and the beginning of something new, according to the change theory of the Tao, perhaps? That new thing is bigger than Tarzan? So! Tarzan is smaller than the end of the Qiuhao.

No one in the world lives longer than a child who dies young, and the legendary longest-lived Peng Zu was short-lived. Why? Because! The death of a child is the end of his life, but it is also the beginning of his transformation into something new. According to the theory of change of the Tao, maybe? That new thing has a longer lifespan than Peng Zu? Peng Zu's lifespan was just a child who died in front of him. So! Peng Zu is not the longest-lived.

According to the theory of the Tao, we all come from the Tao. Therefore, it is said: Heaven and earth coexist with me, and all things are one with me. We are all children of the Word, and we are all part of the Word, and we are all in the Word, regardless of one another!

This! Zhuangzi speaks from the height of the Tao, the beginning of all things, the beginning of heaven and earth.

Zhuangzi said: At the beginning of all things, there is no such thing as the concept of life and death. One thing, or the beginning of life, means the death of another, or life. So! In front of the Tao, there is no concept of life and death. To be alive is to die of something, and to die is to be the beginning of something new.

In front of the Tao, in the long process of evolution and change, everything is just a white horse passing by, a flash. Where is the concept of life and death? It's as if nothing ever existed. So! Everything is invisible in front of the Tao.

We are all just a life process, not to mention in front of the Tao, but in front of human history, how many people have existed. But! How many people can history remember? So! How many lives have existed and come to this world. But? It's as if they didn't exist, as if they hadn't been to this world!

Other than that! Zhuangzi mentions "qi" here. Because qi is invisible or intangible, it seems to be "nothing". So! It is speculated that everything may have come from qi, and that the original substance may have been qi.

Of course! This is just Zhuangzi's speculation.

It's like air, you can't see it, you can't touch it, it doesn't exist. But! But the air is there. At the beginning of heaven and earth, it was nothing, and it was qi! That qi is the vitality. The vitality is mixed in it, and it enters the realm of trance, and then it becomes tangible and becomes existent. All things are born out of nothing, some are born out of nothing, and there is something out of nothing. There are all things that are born, and men are born.

Now! She died, transformed into a corpse, returned to heaven and earth, returned to the Tao. It's the same as spring, summer, autumn and winter. The dead person will lie peacefully between heaven and earth, and I will cry around her, I don't think I know the reincarnation of the destiny, so! I stopped crying.

Thanks! From nothing, to people, to her, to my wife, to the end of life, she was given a complete life process. So! I'll sing!

Zhuangzi completely jumped out of the category of human feelings and looked at life from the height of the Tao. He believes that the completion of a life process by his wife and children is a cause for celebration. So! It should be sung and congratulated.

In fact! This is Zhuangzi's high understanding of life and life!
