There is a fish in the northern underworld, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Turned into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is, flies angrily, and its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. It is a bird, and the sea will migrate to the south. The Southern Hades, the Heavenly Pond also. Those who are "Qi Harmony" are also strangers. The words of "Harmony" say: "Pengzhi migrated in the south of the underworld, the water hit three thousand miles, the one who swayed up ninety thousand miles, and the one who went to rest in June." "Wild horses, dust, and creatures. The firmament of the sky, its righteous color and evil, its far away and unreachable extreme evil, its eyes are also, if it is, it is already gone. And the accumulation of water is not thick, so it is not able to carry the boat. Cover the cup of water on the top of the hall, then the mustard is the boat; the cup is glued, the water is shallow and the boat is big. If the accumulation of wind is not thick, then its negative wings are also weak. Therefore, 90,000 miles, the wind is below, and behind the face is the wind today;

Shu and Xue Dove laughed and said: "I decided to fly, grab the elm fang and stop, the time is not coming, but the control is just on the ground, and the ridicule is 90,000 miles to the south?" What about the two worms?

Small knowledge is not as good as big knowledge, and small years are not as good as big years. The morning fungus does not know the obscurity, the cockroach does not know the spring and autumn, and this small year is also. There are spirits in the south of Chu, and five hundred years old is the spring, and five hundred years old is the autumn. Those who possess the great tsubaki will take 8,000 years old as spring and 8,000 years old as autumn. And Peng Zu has been heard for a long time, and everyone has matched him. It's not sad!

Tang Zhizhi also asked: "There is a Stygian Sea in the north of the poor, and Tianchi is also." There is a fish, which is thousands of miles wide, and there is no one who knows its cultivators, and its name is Kun. There is a bird, whose name is Peng. The back is like Mount Tai, and the wings are like the clouds hanging from the sky. Ninety thousand miles of those who shake the horns of the sheep, the clouds, the negative blue sky, and then the south, and the south is also suitable. I jumped up, but I flew down a few times, soaring between the basil trees, and this also flew to the top. Face the other and Xi Shi also?'" This small and big argument is also.

Therefore, the husband knows how to serve an official, acts better than a township, and the person who unites the monarch with virtue and conquers a country, and he regards himself as such. And Song Rongzi still smiled. And the world is praised without persuasion, and the world is not depressed, and the distinction between inside and outside is determined, and the state of honor and disgrace is already over. He is in the world, and he is not counted. Although, there are still no trees. Fu Liezi walked against the wind, and he was good. There are five days in the decade and then the other way around. He is not counted among those who are blessed. Although this is not to be done, there is still something to be treated. If the husband takes advantage of the righteousness of heaven and earth, and the argument of the six qis, and swims infinitely, he is evil? Therefore, it is said: The supreme man has no self, the god has no merit, and the saint has no name.

There is a fish in the North Sea, and its name is Kun. The Kun is huge, I don't know how many thousand miles it is. Transformed into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it has, flapped its wings and flew up, its wings like clouds hanging in the sky? The South China Sea is the pool of heaven. The book "Qi Spectrum" is a record of strange things. The record of "Qi Harmony" says: "When Dapeng migrated to the South China Sea, his wings flapped on the water, stirring up waves as far as 3,000 li, and then took advantage of the rising huge whirlwind to fly up to a height of 90,000 li, leaving the North Sea and flying to the South China Sea for six months before resting." The steaming mist and flying dust like wild horses are the result of living things blowing each other with their breath. Is the deep blue of the sky its true color, or is it too far away to see clearly? The Roc looks down from the sky just like people looking at the sky from the ground. Besides, if the water does not accumulate deeply, then it will not be buoyant enough to carry a large ship. Pour a cup of water in the low-lying part of the church, then only the grass can be its boat, and put a cup in it and it will stick, because the water is shallow and the boat is large. If the wind does not accumulate much, then its heavily loaded wings will not have enough lift. Therefore, the Roc flies to an altitude of 90,000 li, and the wind is below, and then it can fly with the wind, and it can fly with the blue sky on its back, and nothing to stop it, and then it can plan to fly south.

The cicada and the dove laughed at it and said, "I get up and fly at once, and when I touch a tree, I stop, and sometimes I can't fly, so I just fall to the ground, where is the use of flying 90,000 miles in the air and then flying so far south?" What do these two flying insects know?

Those who have less knowledge are not as good as those who have more knowledge, and those who live a short life are not as good as those who live longer. On what basis do we know that this is the case? Fungi that die in the twilight of life do not know that there is a beginning and a last day of a month, and cockroaches do not know that there is a spring and autumn in a year, which is a short lifespan. A tree called the spirit grows in the southern part of the Chu State, which treats a thousand years as a year. In ancient times, there was a tree called Tsubaki that counted 16,000 years as a year. Peng Zu only lived for 800 years, but now he is particularly famous for his longevity, and when people talk about longevity, they compare Peng Zu with each other, isn't it very sad!

Shang Tang asked his doctor, Thorn, and he said, "In the northern part of the Arctic zone, there is a deep, black sea, which is the Heavenly Pool. There is a fish that grows there, the width of the body reaches thousands of miles, and its length is unknown to anyone, and its name is Kun. There is also a bird that grows there, and its name is Peng. His back was like a Mount Tai, and his wings were like clouds hanging in the sky. Taking advantage of the huge whirlwind that bends like a sheep's horn, it flies up to an altitude of 90,000 miles, passes through the clouds, carries the blue sky on its back, and then plans to fly south, about to fly to the South China Sea. The little finch laughed at it and said, 'Where is the roc going to fly?' I leap upwards and fall down no more than a few feet, and fly between the canopy and the artemisia annua, which is the highest limit of flight. But where is it going to fly?"

Therefore, those who are intellectually sufficient to confer an official position, whose conduct is suited to the will of a countryman, whose morals are in accordance with the will of a monarch, and who are able to gain the confidence of the whole country, also think of themselves as highly as little sparrows. Song Rongzi laughed at such people. Besides, Song Rongzi has only achieved the praise of all contemporary people, and he will not be more encouraged, and all contemporary people will not feel more depressed when they criticize him, and he can determine the difference between things and me, and distinguish the boundary between honor and disgrace, and that's it. He did not desperately pursue worldly fame. Still, there is something that has not yet been established. The column marched in the wind, which was very light. Fifteen days later he returned to earth. He did not desperately pursue the things he wanted to be blessed. Walking is not necessary, but it still depends on the wind. As for riding on the righteousness of heaven and earth, controlling the changes of yin, yang, wind, rain, obscurity, and fields, and roaming in the infinite space and time, what else does that kind of person rely on? Therefore, those who have reached the highest peak of Taoism do not have "me", those who have attained the unpredictable realm of deification do not seek utilitarian gain, and those who are holy do not seek fame.

There are three paragraphs in this selection, which are explained paragraph by paragraph below (there is a discrepancy between the paragraph in this text and the paragraph in the text—editor's note).

Next, in order to illustrate the difference between "having to wait" and "not waiting", between the small and the large, and the disparity between the ideological realm and insight between the small and the large, Zhuangzi made a series of analogies. First of all, use the analogy of water and boats to explain that "if the water is not thick, the boat will not be able to carry the big boat", just as "the product of the wind is not thick, then the big wings will not be strong". This is to prove: Dapeng's high-flying southward migration, relying on the 90,000-mile wind, is still "to be treated", and it has not been able to achieve the real "free travel", that is, it has not reached the absolute freedom ideal of Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi then goes on to tell a fairy tale about the ridicule of Dapeng by the shu (i.e., the cicada) and the xuejiu (the name of the bird). The cramped world, the insignificant knowledge, the smug tone, and their unself-aware ridicule and ridicule of the Dapeng themselves show their pity and ridiculousness, and thus also powerfully illustrate the truth that Zhuangzi wants to express that "small knowledge is not as good as great knowledge". The following parables of the fungus, the cricket and the ghost (big turtle), and the big chun, and the parable of the long-lived Peng Zu and the others naturally illustrate the truth that "a small year is not as good as a big year". Zhuangzi made this series of metaphors to illustrate that the distinction between small and large is very obvious between these people and things, but without exception, they have not been able to reach the realm of "leisurely travel" that transcends everything.

The second paragraph of "Getaway", from "Tang Zhiwen Thorn is also already" to "This small and big debate is also", to the effect that the king of Shang Tang asked his courtier: "Is there a limit to the upper and lower four directions?" Thorn replied, "Beyond the infinity, there is the infinity." In the northern part of the barren land, there is a vast desert and boundless sea, which is a large natural pool. There was a fish there, it was thousands of miles wide, and no one knew how long it was, and its name was Kun. There is a bird, its name is Peng, Peng's back is like Mount Tai, wings are like clouds covering the sky, it rides the horn whirlwind straight up to 90,000 miles in the sky, over the clouds, carrying the blue sky, and then flies south, flying to the South China Sea. The little sparrow in the swamp laughed at it and said, 'Where is it going?' I leaped up, but in a few feet I fell, and flew about among the basil bushes, which was my best flight. And where is it going?' That's the difference between small and big!"

This paragraph, pretending to be the words of the ancients, once again vividly depicts the miraculous changes of Kunpeng, as well as the magnificent wings of Dapeng flying south, and also describes the bird's ridicule of Dapeng. There is a clear repetition of the content of this description with the above. This kind of writing is rarely seen in the pen of the average essayist. In fact, this is exactly what Zhuangzi deliberately wrote. In the "Fables" chapter of the Zhuangzi, it says: "Fable 19, Tautology 17, Sunrise, and Heavenly Ni." "A fable is a word that has an allegory, a tautology is a word that is repeated, and a word is a word that changes at will. Zhuangzi said that the allegory and tautology in his essay account for a large proportion, and the "dialect" that changes at will is endless, which is very much in line with the way of nature. These four sentences actually summarize the characteristics of Zhuangzi's prose. The use of the paragraph "Tang Zhi's thorns are also already" in this article is to deepen the reader's understanding of the "small and big debate" by adding weight to the argument through "tautology". Through the echo and confirmation of this paragraph and the beginning paragraph, the tall and majestic image of Dapeng and the insignificance and humility of those small insects and birds are more revealed, so as to illustrate that "Xiaozhi (wisdom)" is inferior to "Dazhi (wisdom)" with a clear "small and big debate".
