Leaving the sea, Zhuangzi continued to search south, and then entered the land of the Southern Barbarians. Bayi?? Chinese =≠=.≤ After all the way to no avail, he turned back to the Song Kingdom.

It's a pity that I didn't find any news about Tianya Nameless and Yang Yan in the south of the river.

But! Zhuangzi did not find the trip meaningless. This search has made him gain a lot of insight and awakened a lot of his memories. The books I have read, the examples and ancient books explained by my master and master have all been verified during this trip.

It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, and traveling 10,000 miles can verify the authenticity of the records in the book.

Zhuangzi walked this time, resting for thousands of miles? It's tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of miles. With a single thought, he can walk an infinite path. Of course! On this trip, except for flying with his mind on the sea, Zhuangzi mostly walked the rest of the time, measuring with his feet one by one.

This trip to Wu Yue and the trip to the Nanban benefited Zhuangzi a lot, and he saw the folk customs of various places, especially those in the Nanban tribe. Thereby! Let him better understand the truth of human nature, the evolution of folk customs, and the formation of human nature, family, clan, team, organization, region, and country.

From the primitive tribes, we can see the truth and primordial nature of human nature. And! Rigid patterns of human thinking.

Rigid mode refers to staying at a certain level and not being able to think and look at things beyond this level.

Returning to the Mojia Branch, what made Zhuangzi happy was that his sister-in-law and Zhang Shan were still alive. Moreover! The body is all very good.

This also surprised Zhuangzi!

Because! Mrs. Sister-in-law and Zhang Shan neither know martial arts. People who do not know martial arts often have poor physique due to lack of exercise.

Other than that! Mrs. Sister-in-law and Zhang Shan both have their own disciples.

Mrs. Sister-in-law accepted a few female disciples, and these female disciples' children gave up their families when they became adults and came to the Mo family to devote themselves to cultivating.

Zhang Shan accepted several male disciples, most of whom were retired disabled soldiers. Most of them are not very handy, but they are able to support themselves. In order not to cause trouble to their children and future generations, they decided to follow Zhang Shan and take care of each other while learning the Tao.

All of a sudden! The Mojia branch altar is lively again.

These disciples were divided into two factions, men and women, who lived in their own thatched huts and lived alone. I don't live with my sister-in-law and Zhang Shan, and I don't live in a palace-like house. After they finished their daily work, it rained, the farm was slack, and at night, they came to the side of his sister-in-law and Zhang Shan, humbly seeking advice and learning Taoism.

Looking at the complexions of his sister-in-law and Zhang Shan, Zhuangzi was very suspicious: these two people may have made a breakthrough in the mental method, and there is the possibility of cultivating to become a real human body.

Seeing that the master had returned, both Mrs. Sister-in-law and Zhang Shan were very happy, and they both wanted to talk to the master about their cultivation experience.

Mrs. Sister-in-law asked her disciple to prepare a room for Zhuangzi, but Zhuangzi did not live in it, but only asked for a seat in the hall.

Zhang Shan asked his disciples to cook a healthy meal for his master, but Zhuangzi was not interested. Now he is a real human body, and he no longer needs to maintain his physical body. He has no physical body, and the physical body is only an illusion of him.

When the disciples saw that the patriarch had returned, they also ran over one by one to bow down.

Zhuangzi called everyone over and began to explain the Tao Jing and the Tao Jing of the ancestor Lao Tzu.

In the past, there was no title of the book "Tao Te Ching", only two parts: the Tao Te Ching and the Virtue Ching.

The Tao Sutra is preceded by the Taoist theory, mainly talking about what the Tao is. Then preach the main principle of the Taoist theory, which is "being" and "nothingness".

The Book of Virtues is the application of the doctrine of preaching, saying that human society should follow heaven and earth and imitate the Tao, only in this way can human beings have a long time and a good life.

This is the first time that Zhuangzi has publicly explained the Tao Te Ching of the ancestors, and it is also the first time that the Tao Te Ching has been systematically explained.

In the past, Zhuangzi talked about his understanding of Taoism, teaching the world how to learn the Tao, and teaching the world to know the Tao. And! The contemporary application of Taoism.

In the past, I mainly explained my own Taoism and Yang Zhu's Taoism based on my own understanding. Most of the time, he is a preacher who explains and disseminates Taoist teachings.

And this time! Zhuangzi is dedicated to the scriptures of the first ancestors.

During his seclusion in the mountains, Master Yang Zhu specially explained to him the scriptures of the ancestor Lao Tzu. However, due to his young age, he only remembered many of the words of the master in the scriptures, but did not understand the meaning.

Later, in social practice, he gradually and comprehensively understood what Master said. That's when he knew! The scriptures of the ancestor Lao Tzu are broad and profound. Only to know! How did the people in the hundreds of schools deliberately smear Taoists and deliberately distort Taoists.

What do you mean by taking a quote out of context? That's taken out of context! Those who smear and distort Taoist doctrine are taking things out of context and picking fault with the moral scriptures. On the surface, it makes sense, actually! It's a deliberate misinterpretation.

As Zhuangzi explained, he was angry, hating that he could not kill those who deliberately misinterpreted it. But! Angry and angry, you can't find out who those people who deliberately misinterpret are who?

Since the spread of Taoist doctrine, there have been people who have deliberately misinterpreted it. It's true! Misinterpretation of Taoist doctrine has been deliberately used for hundreds of years. It's true! You can't even find who it really is?

Go without saying! This person who deliberately misinterprets must be deliberately smearing others in order to spread his own doctrine.

Zhuangzi spent a whole year explaining the moral scriptures to his sister-in-law, Zhang Shan, and their disciples. And let Zhang Shan record his explanation, let his sister-in-law revise it, and then if he has time, he will record it on the bamboo slips and pass it on to future generations for easy reference.

During this year, Zhuangzi not only explained Lao Tzu's moral scriptures to his disciples, but also took the time to return to the cave to consult the ancient books collected by the Mohists.

I grew up and learned, and there were three things that I didn't learn until I died.

Zhuangzi felt that he had too little knowledge and was not capable of writing a brief history of mankind. If we can write a brief history of mankind, it will be more convenient for everyone to understand and learn Taoist doctrine.

Because! Taoism is the ultimate philosophy of mankind, the philosophy of life, and the philosophy of survival, which is different from other doctrines in the hundred schools of thought. Most of the other theories are quack philosophies, not ultimate philosophies.

For example! Confucianism only sees how to manage society, how to regulate society, how to restrain oneself to cater to society, and to build a harmonious society. Confucianism is from the perspective of social management, to deny oneself and repent, to build a harmonious society, rather than from the perspective of individual people.

So! Confucianism will eventually decline. Because it suppresses human nature and restricts the freedom of human nature.

Because! Society and the state exist because of people, not the state and then the people, but the people first and then the state. The state is created and exists to protect the people, and when the people do not need the state to protect them, the state does not exist. When the state is no longer able to protect its people, the state does not exist.

So! The state is only an institution that appeared at a certain time in the history of human exhibition, a temporary need, not a permanent thing. Just like religious thought, it is only a product of a certain stage in human history, and when human beings find the correct guiding ideology, religious ideas will automatically be abandoned by human beings.

So! It is wrong to govern society, manage and restrain others from the perspective of catering to state management. Theoretically, it is wrong and untenable.

Talent is forever, and only from the perspective of people can it be correct.

Long live the people!

If we want to save society, the world, and the country, we must first save the people and save the people's minds.
