Chapter 4: How to Do Getaway Part 2

The second part of Zhuangzi's "Wandering Away" begins with "The Question of the Soup is also already.? In the north of poverty, there are those who have the Stygian Sea, and Tianchi also "goes" to Yao to govern the people of the world, the government in Pinghai, and go to see the mountain of the four sons and the sun of Fenshui, and lose the world. "Stop.

"The soup is also a thorn" was obviously added when the great power of later generations edited and sorted out, and the content of the second part is also different from that of the second part.

The first paragraph of the second part is a connection, from "the soup is also a thorn" to "this small and big debate". This paragraph is a connecting text, up and down transition text. And then! Descend the realm and height, and explain it from the perspective of people.

The first part of "Getaway" is to stand on the height of the Tao, standing on a higher, farther height and realm to explain, some people may still not understand, how to really do a getaway, a leisurely life.

In other words, the first part is too far, too profound, and too lofty for ordinary people to understand the truth. Ordinary people can't reach this level of understanding, they don't have this realm.

So! From the second part, after the context is connected, we will start to talk about "people", and explain from the perspective of people, so that it can be easily understood and accepted.

If you stand from the perspective of the Tao, from the perspective of the equality of all things, ordinary people may not understand or understand it, and think it is too profound.

Because! People who don't systematically study Taoism don't know what "Tao" is. If you don't know what "Tao" is, you can't understand what Taoists believe that "man, like all things, is just a species on the earth." ”

Only by standing "man, like all things, is only one species on the earth." Only by this person with a high level of understanding can he understand the gap between Kunpeng and "Shu and Xueyu". With comparison, people feel small, as small as "Lizard and Dove". Such! It's easier to have an epiphany.

From the second paragraph of the second part, let's talk about "people", taking people as an example.

This paragraph is from "The old husband knows the service of an official, the line is more than a township, the virtue is one king, and the one who conquers a country, his self-esteem is also like this." Therefore, it is said: To the man has no self, the god has no merit, and the saint has no name. "Stop.

It's important to understand this paragraph!

This paragraph is also about the realm and height.

It is from a human point of view, and it is easier for ordinary people to understand.

The first part of this paragraph: "Therefore, the husband knows that he serves an official, acts more than a township, and is a monarch with virtue, and conquers a country, and he regards himself as the same." ”

What does it mean: those who are intelligent enough to hold the office of one side, who are able to protect the people of the other side in their deeds, who are virtuous enough to conform to the king's heart, who are capable of gaining the trust of the whole country, who think they are great, who are very accomplished? So! They are also like the "lizard and the dove" mentioned above. Their life realm is like this, no different from "Shu and Xuedo".

Compared with Song Rongzi, this kind of person is just as contemptible and despised as Song Rongzi.

Song Rongzi, that is, the great Yin of the Song Kingdom. He was a disciple of the Mo family, and thus became an official in the Song Kingdom. Afterward! accepted Yang Zhu's preaching, and turned to become a "great hidden in the court".

When a person understands the "Tao" and understands life, he can also become an official. To think that Taoism is a "hidden family" is a misunderstanding.

Where Taoism resides in seclusion is mainly determined by one's own preferences and nature. A Taoist who has management skills, is very interested in being an official, and takes benefiting the people as his life mission, can be an official.

Otherwise? There is no such thing as "big hidden in the court", "hidden in the city", and "small hidden in the wild".

Ordinary literati and scholars are hidden in the wilderness, they don't like the hustle and bustle of urban life, and they like to be quiet. It's not that the realm of people who are "small hidden in the wild" is not high.

And those who like to do business, or for other reasons, are hidden in the city. After all! It's easier to live in the city.

Taoists are also human beings, they need to come into contact with people, they need to integrate into society, and they need to follow the local customs. On the surface, you have to live like the people around you, only in this way can you better integrate into life, into your life circle, not ** special, not alternative.

What Song Rongzi pursues is the real Taoist, the real person! Be like that!

Song Rongzi is: the world's reputation without persuasion, the world's non-discouragement without frustration, the distinction between inside and outside, and the state of honor and disgrace. He is in the world, and he is not counted.

All the people in the world praised him, and he didn't get upset because of it, and he wasn't discouraged by all the people in the world who slandered him. He determined the balance between himself and external objects, and discerned the boundary between honor and disgrace, and felt that it was nothing more than that. He treats everything in the world and does not pursue it desperately.

Even so, he did not reach the highest level.

Song Rongzi has done this, but Zhuangzi thinks that he has not yet reached the highest level.

Because! Song Rongzi has not yet entered the heart realm, and he has not cultivated the heart realm exercises.

Heart! Mental world.

Song Rongzi just did a good job in the real world, reaching the standard of being a man and being a Taoist. But he didn't study psychology, he studied educational psychology. In terms of modern science, he did not use "psychomedia" to expand his influence and influence the world for the benefit of the world.

No! It's people who influence generations.

Song Rongzi only influenced a Song country, influenced the Song country for a while, and the second half of his life. It's not the Great Zhou, it's not human.

To benefit mankind, to benefit generations of people, so that generations of people will follow you, is the highest state.

Zhuangzi believes that we should be like Liezi: "Take advantage of the righteousness of heaven and earth, and the debate of the six qis, so as to swim endlessly." ”

Liezi was one of the first Taoists to study psychology, but sadly, his book was labeled "forgery" and "nonsense".

In the Zhuangzi period, there was no word for "psychology" and there was no word for "mind". Anyway! It is the study of psychology, the study of "educational psychology" or "psychomedia".

In the mental world, we can do anything! The world is as big as the heart. In the world of psychological imagination, you can change without eating the fireworks of the world, flying in the sky, and Sun Wukong.

Put down the mental realm and psychology first, and talk about the actual things and the results instead of talking about these.

Zhuangzi believes that we should not only use our actions to influence and help the people around us, help the people of the world, but also help people from generation to generation, help human beings to understand themselves correctly, choose the correct outlook on life, the world, the universe, and choose the correct way of life. Instead of wanting fame and fortune, life is not a competition for fame and fortune.

This is what we have: the supreme man has no self, the god and man have no merit, and the saint has no name.
