"The emperor of the South Sea is Shu, the emperor of the North Sea is Hu, and the emperor of the center is Chaos. When Shu and Hu meet in the land of Chaos, Chaos treats them very well. Shu and Hu seek to repay the virtue of Chaos, saying: 'People There are seven orifices for seeing, hearing, feeding and breathing, but there is nothing like this, try to dig it out. 'Drilling one orifice every day, seven days will lead to chaos and death."
Although, I am not very clear about the meaning of Zhuangzi's "chaos". However, based on my superficial understanding of the literal meaning of "chaos", I feel that my own state is a kind of "chaos". Because of this, my subsequent speculation or interpretation of this passage in Zhuangzi's "Ying Diwang" must be "chaotic".
Zhuangzi's wisdom is great wisdom, which is incomparable!
After reading the above paragraph of "Zhuangzi ¡¤ Emperor Ying", most people will probably fall into a state, which can also be called "chaos".
It can be said that we have read a lot from this short text; it can also be said that after reading this paragraph of text, we know nothing.
This feeling is like reading poetry. However, this feeling is different from reading poetry, because poetry is mostly perceptual, and our perception of poetry is mostly concentrated at the level of literature.
Looking at Zhuangzi's writing again, he seems to be telling fairy tales, and these fairy tales contain too much meaning of "reason". Based on this, many people will elevate Zhuangzi and his writings to the level of philosophers and philosophy. level.
The imagination of Zhuangzi's genius is beyond the reach of those who are as stupid as me.
Let's study carefully the passage in "Zhuangzi ¡¤ Emperor Ying" above.
In terms of literal cognition, "sudden" and "sudden" are the concept of time; "chaos" is the concept of space when the world was not opened. From this reasoning, the encounter of "sudden", "sudden" and "chaos" is the interweaving of time and space. This kind of infinity and vastness intertwined with time and space cannot be achieved by a genius and sage like Zhuangzi.
"Soon" and "Suddenly" are the concepts of time. Time can be perceived but cannot be seen or touched. Zhuangzi made the "sudden" and "sudden" of the concept of time both "emperors" and divided them into two domains: "shun" was the emperor of the South China Sea; "sudden" was the emperor of the North Sea. Some people think that this is an anthropomorphic technique; in my opinion, Zhuangzi's imagination cannot be covered by the anthropomorphic technique of literary concepts. "Shu" and "Suddenly" are time, "Di" is the "God of Territorial Sea" of Superman, "South China Sea" and "Beihai" are the vast territories owned by the "two emperors"; this is time, space, human or superman fusion. This kind of genius imagination is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Zhuangzi's awareness of "south", "north" and "central" is very clear. The vastness of the south is an endless sea, which is Qingming; the vastness of the north is an endless sea, which is also Qingming; the center is bounded by the sea, and I don't know why, so it can only be "chaos". With such a grand concept of geography, in his eyes, everything in the world is just a "small universe".
"Shu" and "Suddenly" are conscious, why, because their meaning is "hurry"; "Chaos" is unconscious, why, because its meaning is "fuzzy". Because of this, there are distinctions between "knowledge" and "ignorance", "action" and "inaction". It is precisely because of this distinction that the following story was produced and a tragicomedy was performed.
"Shut" and "Suddenly" are both "knowledge".
This kind of "knowledge" is not the "superior knowledge (common wisdom)" mentioned by the master in "The Analects of Confucius¡¤Yanghuo", but a self-righteous "little cleverness". This kind of "knowledge" is a common problem of many people. It is a kind of non-natural thing influenced by society, and it is something that Zhuangzi has always rejected.
"Chaos" is "ignorance". This kind of "ignorance" is not the "foolishness" mentioned by the master in "The Analects of Confucius Yang Huo". This kind of "ignorance" is not stupidity, but something that grows naturally, it is the true nature of human nature, and it is a truth that does not need to be suppressed or changed by those rules and regulations.
Both "sudden" and "sudden" are "promising".
This kind of "promise" may be the so-called "progressiveness" that Zhuangzi targeted when he criticized Confucianism. First of all, this kind of "promising" may be a kind of "mediocrity" when "there is nothing in the world"; secondly, this "promising" may also be the source of disaster when "the world is going on"; If it is true, then this kind of "promise" must be a kind of "superfluous" that wastes money and people.
"Chaos" means "doing nothing", and this kind of "doing nothing" is not "doing nothing" or "doing nothing". First of all, this kind of "inaction" is to maintain the authenticity; secondly, this "inaction" itself is a kind of "action".
In the case of "knowledge" and "ignorance", "action" and "inaction", events happened.
?The south and the north are divided into two parts, and the center is the only one. Therefore, "Shu" and "Suddenly" belong to the same category, and "Chaos" forms a family of its own. "Shu" and "Suddenly" are in the same category, they are "never tire of seeing each other"; "Chaos" is unique, so it will be incompatible with them.
"Shu" and "Suddenly" are one south and one north. According to Lao Tzu, they should "not communicate with each other until old age and death". However, because they "knowledge", they will collude. In addition to their interactions with each other, they also have to be "active", that is, to influence others and the surrounding environment.
"Shu" and "Suddenly" meet on the land of chaos from time to time. "Chaos" comes from the heart and treats them well. This was originally a very simple matter. "Being kind to others" is the original heart of "Chaos", it is the innocence without any sophistication and human feelings, it is a natural thing, and it does not expect rewards and does not count merit. However, in the ideologies of "Shu" and "Sudden", "repaying kindness with gratitude" is their consistent belief. They will worry, if there is no "repayment of gratitude", first, will "Chaos" be very disappointed? Second, next time, will "Chaos" "be kind to people"? Third, will this damage their own reputation? Fourth, this may lead to abnormal relations and social chaos. "Knowledge" means "doing". "Shu" and "Su" had a private discussion, and they felt that they should "repay kindness with kindness". They look at themselves, at chaos, and at people. I think the best way to repay "Chaos" is to make "Chaos" "like a person". However, have they ever thought that if "chaos" "like a person", then "chaos" is still "chaos"? Therefore, "Shu" and "Suddenly" created "one orifice" for "Chaos" in one day, and after seven days of digging, "Chaos" finally "like a person" - with "seven orifices". However, a tragedy happened, and "Chaos" was dug to death just like that.
In fact, Zhuangzi's wisdom is more than that. All I see is "chaos".
We all think we are smart, but we are all stupid. We are constantly self-righteous, and we are constantly imposing our will on others. We here are not limited to an individual!
Great, Zhuangzi!
Knowing (can pass wisdom), Zhuangzi!
Alas, Chaos!
