Chapter 145: 3 more chapters tomorrow
There is a fish in the North Sea, named Kun. Kun is so big that no one knows how many thousand miles it can reach. It changes into a bird, named Peng. Peng's back is so big that no one knows how many thousand miles it can reach. When it flies in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging down from the sky. This bird, if it travels by sea, will migrate to the South Sea. The South Sea is the Tianchi Lake. The Qixie is a book about strange things. The Xie says: "When Peng migrates to the South Sea, it strikes the water for three thousand miles, soars up to ninety thousand miles, and takes six months to rest." Wild horses, dust, and living things blow each other with their breath. The sky is blue, is it the right color? Is it so far that there is no end? When it looks down, it is just like this. Moreover, if the water is not deep, it will not be able to carry a large boat. If you pour a cup of water on a col, a mustard seed will become a boat; if you put the cup there, it will become sticky. The water is shallow and the boat is large. If the wind is not strong, it will not be able to carry a large wing. Therefore, after ninety thousand miles, the wind is below, and then it can cultivate the wind; with the blue sky on its back, and no one can stop it, then it can fly south. The cicada and the dove laughed at him and said, "I decided to take off and fly, grabbing the elm and stopping. When I don't reach the destination, I just hover on the ground. Why should I fly ninety thousand miles to the south?" Those who go to the wilderness eat three meals a day and return with a full stomach; those who go a hundred miles a night, pounding food; those who go a thousand miles a night, gathering food for three months. What do these two insects know? Small knowledge is not as good as great knowledge, and a small year is not as good as a big year. How do you know this? The morning fungus does not know the new moon and the full moon, and the cicada does not know spring and autumn. This is a small year. There is a spirit in the south of Chu, who regards five hundred years as spring and five hundred years as autumn. In ancient times, there was a big tree, who regarded eight thousand years as spring and eight thousand years as autumn. This is a big year. But Peng Zu is now famous for his longevity, and everyone is trying to compare with him. Isn't it sad?
This is what Tang asked Ji: "To the north of the end of the world, there is a dark sea, which is the Tianchi. There lives a fish there, which is thousands of miles wide, and no one knows its length. Its name is Kun. There lives a bird there, its name is Peng, its back is like Mount Tai, and its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. It soars up to 90,000 miles on the strength of the wind, breaks through the clouds, carries the blue sky on its back, and then heads south to the South Sea. The sparrow laughed at him and said, 'Where is he going? I leap up, but only come down a few feet, and soar among the weeds. This is also the limit of my flying ability. Where is he going?'" This is a debate about small and big.
Therefore, those who know how to be effective in one official position, conduct themselves in a village, unite their virtue with one monarch, and conquer a country, also see themselves in this way. But Song Rongzi still laughed at him. Moreover, he did not encourage himself when the whole world praised him, and did not discourage him when the whole world criticized him. He determined the distinction between inside and outside, and distinguished the boundaries of honor and disgrace. That's all. He did not count the number of times in the world. Although, there are still things that have not been established. Lie Zi rode the wind and walked, and it was cool and good. He returned after ten and fifteen days. He did not count the number of times in the world. Although he did not have to walk, he still had to wait. As for those who ride on the righteousness of heaven and earth, and control the debate of the six qi, and travel in the infinite, what do they have to wait for? Therefore, it is said: The most perfect person has no self, the divine person has no merit, and the sage has no name.
Yao gave up the throne to Xu You, saying: "The sun and the moon have risen, but the fires are still burning. Isn't it too hard for them to shine? The rain has fallen, but it is still soaking. Isn't it too hard for them to soak the water? Master, the world is in order when you come to power, but I am still a puppet. I think I am lacking, so I will give you the throne." Xu You said: "You rule the world, and the world is already in order. If I still replace you, will I be a name? Name is the guest of reality. Will I be a guest? A wren nests in a deep forest, but only on a branch; a rat drinks from a river, but only to fill its belly. Go back and rest, my lord, I have no use for the world! Even if the cook does not cook, the puppet will not take his place!"
Jianwu asked Lianshu, "I heard a statement from Jieyu, which was grand and unreasonable, and could not be reversed. I was terrified by his statement. It was like the Milky Way, which has no end; it was so vast and different from human nature." Lianshu said, "What did he mean?" He said, "On the Miaogu Mountain, there lived a divine man. His skin was as white as ice and snow, and he was as tender as a virgin. He did not eat grains, but breathed the wind and drank dew. He rode on clouds and flew like dragons, and roamed beyond the four seas. His divine power was so strong that things did not suffer from pests and crops grew well every year. I thought he was crazy and did not believe it." Lianshu said, "Yes. The blind man has no As for the view of literature, the deaf cannot listen to the sound of bells and drums. Is it only the body that is deaf and blind? The mind also has this! This is what she said, just like the woman of the time. A man of virtue will make all things one. The world is in chaos. Who would be so lazy as to take the world as his business! A man of virtue will not be harmed by anything: a flood will not drown the sky, a drought will melt metal and stone, and a mountain of earth will not be hot. This is the dust and chaff that will be used to mold Yao and Shun. Who would be willing to take things as his business? "The people of Song wore a Zhangfu and went to Yue. The people of Yue cut their hair and tattooed their bodies, but they had no use for it. Yao ruled the people of the world and pacified the politics of the country. He went to see the four sons on the Miaoguye Mountain, on the south side of the Fen River, and lost his world in a trance.
Huizi said to Zhuangzi, "The King of Wei gave me seeds of a large gourd. I planted them and they bore five stones of fruit. They are so hard that they cannot hold water. If I split them to make a gourd, the gourd would not be able to hold anything. It is not because they are not very big, but I just used them because they are useless." Zhuangzi said, "Master, you are really bad at using big things. There was a man in Song who was good at making medicine for preventing chapped hands. His family had been making medicine for generations. When a guest heard about it, he asked to buy his recipe for a hundred gold coins. The family gathered together and said, 'Our family will be making medicine for generations. Washing silk is only a few gold coins, but now he sells his skills for a hundred gold coins in one day, please give it to him. 'The guest got it and told the King of Wu about it. Yue was in trouble, and the King of Wu sent him to lead the army. In winter, he fought a naval battle with the Yue people and defeated them. He gave him land and gave him fiefs. He was able to avoid getting his hands chapped, and some were given fiefs, while others were forced to wash silk. It depends on what they use. Now you have a gourd of five stones, why don't you consider making a big jar and float it on the river? You are worried that the gourd will fall and there will be no place to put it? You still have the heart of a weed!"
Huizi said to Zhuangzi, "I have a big tree, which people call a jujube tree. Its big trunk is swollen and does not follow the ruler, and its small branches are twisted and do not follow the rules. When it stands on the road, carpenters ignore it. Now you say that it is big but useless, and everyone will abandon it." Zhuangzi said, "Have you not seen raccoons? They lie low and wait for the crows; they jump from side to side, not avoiding height or lowness; they are hit by traps and die in nets. Now, the ox is as big as a cloud hanging from the sky. It can be big, but it cannot catch a mouse. Now you have a big tree, but you are worried that it is useless. Why don't you plant it in a place where there is nothing, in a vast wilderness, and wander around without being noticed, and sleep under it. It can be cut down by the axe, and it can't harm anything. It is useless, so why should you be in trouble?"
There is a fish in the northern sea, its name is Kun. Kun's body is thousands of miles long. It changes into a bird, and its name is Peng. Peng's back is thousands of miles long. When it rises and flies, its wings are like clouds in the sky. This Peng bird will migrate to the southern sea when the wind blows the sea water. The southern sea is a large natural pool. "Qi Xie" is a book that records strange things. This book records: "When Peng migrates to the southern sea, its wings beat the water surface, which can stir up waves of three thousand miles. It flies up to a height of ninety thousand miles around the whirlwind and leaves the North Sea on the wind of June." The fog in the mountains and the floating dust are all caused by the breath of living creatures blowing against each other. The sky is vast and boundless. Is it its original color? Is its vastness and height endless? When Peng looked down, he should have seen the same thing. If the gathered water is not deep, then it does not have the strength to carry a large ship. Pour a cup of water in the low-lying area in front of the hall, and a small grass can be regarded as a ship. Putting a cup on it will stick to it. This is the reason why the water is shallow but the ship is large. If the gathered wind is not strong enough, then it will not have the strength to carry a huge wing. Therefore, when Peng flies at an altitude of 90,000 miles, the wind is under it. With the help of the wind, it carries the blue sky without any obstacles, and then begins to fly south. The cicada and the little turtledove laughed at Peng and said, "We fly hard, but we stop when we hit elm and sandalwood trees. Sometimes we can't fly up and just fall to the ground. Why do we have to fly 90,000 miles to the South China Sea?" People who want to go to the suburbs eat a full meal and go back and forth, and their stomachs are still full when they come back; people who go a hundred miles away have to spend a whole night pounding rice to prepare dry food; people who go a thousand miles away have to accumulate food for three months. How do the two small animals, the cicada and the little turtledove, know? Small wisdom cannot compare to great wisdom, and short life cannot compare to long life. How do you know this is the case? Fungi born in the morning die before night, so they do not know night and dawn; cicadas are born in spring and die in summer, or in summer and die in autumn, so they do not know spring and autumn. There is a big tree called Linggui in the south of Chu State. It regards 500 years as one spring and 500 years as one autumn. In ancient times, there was a tree called Dachun. It regarded 8,000 years as one spring and 8,000 years as one autumn. This is longevity. But Peng Zu is still famous for his longevity. People compare themselves with him. Isn't it sad?
The question that Shang Tang asked Ji was also like this: "In the far north where no vegetation grows, there is a very deep sea. That is Tianchi. In it there is a fish, its body is several thousand miles wide, and no one knows how long it is. Its name is Kun. There is a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back is like Mount Tai, and its wings are like clouds in the sky. It rides on a whirlwind to soar up to 90,000 miles, surpassing the clouds, carrying the blue sky on its back, and then flies south, about to fly to the South China Sea. The sparrows in the small marsh laughed at Peng and said, 'Where is it going to fly? I fly up with one jump, and then fall down after only a few feet, and circle among the weeds. This is also an excellent flight. Where is it going to fly?" This is the difference between small and big.
Therefore, those who are talented enough to hold an official post, whose behavior can protect the people of a village, whose virtue can please the heart of a king, and whose ability can gain the trust of the whole country, they also see themselves like the little bird mentioned above. Song Rongzi ridiculed such people. Song Rongzi was praised by all the people in the world, but he did not work hard because of this. He was slandered by all the people in the world, but he did not feel depressed because of this. He determined the degree of himself and external things, and distinguished the boundaries of honor and disgrace, and felt that it was nothing. He did not desperately pursue everything in the world. Even so, he still had a realm that he had not reached. Liezi rode the wind, floating and contented, and was familiar with it. He returned after fifteen days; he did not desperately pursue the matter of seeking blessings. Although he did not have to walk, he still had something to rely on. If he followed the nature of all things in the world, controlled the changes of the six qi, and roamed in the infinite realm, what else would he rely on? Therefore, it is said that people with the highest level of cultivation can follow nature and forget themselves. People whose cultivation reaches the deified level have no intention of seeking merit. Saints with moral integrity and knowledge have no intention of seeking fame.
Yao wanted to hand over the world to Xu You, saying: "The sun and the moon are out, and the candle is not extinguished. It wants to add light to the sun and the moon. Isn't it difficult? The rain has fallen at the right time, but artificial irrigation is used to moisten the soil. Isn't it futile? If you become the king, the world will surely be well governed, but I am still sitting in my position. I feel ashamed. Please allow me to hand over the world to you." Xu You said: "You govern the world, and the world has been well governed. If I take over from you, am I not here for the name? Name is an object attached to reality. Do I want to be an object with name but no reality? A wren builds its nest in the deep forest with only a branch; a mole drinks river water as long as its stomach is full. Please go back. The world is of no use to me! Although the cook does not cook, the person who presides over the sacrifice should not exceed his authority and perform the duties of the cook."
Jianwu asked Lian Shu for advice: "I heard Jieyu talk endlessly, and he could not get back to the original topic once he started. I was very frightened by his talk, just like the boundless Milky Way in the sky, which is very different from the talk of ordinary people and is really unreasonable." Lian Shu asked: "What did he say?" Jianwu relayed: "'On the distant Gushan Mountain, there lives a god with skin as white as ice and snow, and a body as soft and beautiful as a virgin. He does not eat grains, but breathes the breeze and drinks nectar, rides on clouds and flies on dragons, and travels beyond the four seas. His expression is so focused that all things in the world are not harmed by diseases, and there are good harvests every year.' I think this is all nonsense and cannot be believed at all." Lian Shu heard it and said: "Yes! You can't appreciate patterns and colors with the blind, and you can't listen to the music of bells and drums with the deaf. Is it just the deafness and blindness in the body? In the mind, There are also deaf and blind! This seems to be referring to you. That god-man, whose virtue is mixed with everything in the universe, seeks to govern the whole world. Who would be busy with managing the world? For such a person, nothing can hurt him. The raging waters cannot drown him. He does not feel the heat when the drought melts the metal and stone and cracks the earth. The dust and waste such as husks and bran left by him can also create sages and benevolent kings like Yao and Shun. How could he take busy managing everything as his responsibility? There were people from Song State in the north who sold hats to Yue State in the south. The people of Yue State did not grow their hair and had tattoos all over their bodies. There was no need for hats. Yao governed the people of the world well and stabilized the political situation in the country. He went to Gushan Mountain, north of Fen River, to pay homage to the four sages who had attained the Tao. He could not help but feel lost and forgot that he was in a position to govern the world.
Huizi said to Zhuangzi, "The King of Wei gave me the seeds of a large gourd. I planted it and it grew a gourd that could hold five stones. I used it to hold water, but it was too brittle to lift. I cut it open and used it as a gourd, but it was too large and shallow to hold anything. I didn't think it was too small, but I smashed it because it was useless." Zhuangzi said, "You are really not good at using large objects. There was a man in Song who was good at making medicine to prevent hands from freezing. His family had been washing silk for generations. A guest heard about it and asked for 100 gold to buy his prescription. The man from Song called his family together and said, 'My family has been washing silk for generations with this medicine. We only make a little more than 100 gold a year.' "The guest bought the prescription and went to lobby the King of Wu. At that time, the Kingdom of Yue invaded the Kingdom of Wu, and the King of Wu appointed him as a general. He fought a naval battle with the people of Yue in winter and defeated them. The King of Wu rewarded him by giving him land and making him a marquis. The same prescription for preventing hands from freezing and cracking, some people were rewarded for it, while others only used it to rinse silk floss, because the methods of use were different. Now you have a big gourd that can hold five stones of things, why don't you tie it to your body as a waist boat and float on the rivers and lakes? You are worried that it is too big and there is no place to hold it, which shows that your mind is too shallow and narrow!"
Huizi said to Zhuangzi, "I have a big tree. People call it stinking toon. There are many warts on its trunk, which does not conform to the rules. Its branches are crooked and twisted. It grows by the roadside, and carpenters do not even look at it. Now what you said is big but useless. No one believes it." Zhuangzi said, "Have you never seen wild cats and weasels? They crouch down there, waiting to catch small animals that come and go. When catching small animals, they jump from side to side, not avoiding heights. But once they step on the traps, they die in the net. Look at the yak, it is as big as the clouds in the sky. It can be said to be big enough, but it cannot catch mice. Now you have a big tree, and you are worried that it is useless. Why don't you plant it in the land of nothingness, in the vast wilderness, wander around it at will, lie down under it at ease? In this way, the tree will not be cut down by the axe, and nothing will hurt it. It is useless, so how can it suffer any hardship?"
