Taoism talks about death in order to make us understand life, cherish life, and survive better.
Zhuangzi spent a morning talking about death.
Mainly talking about the fate of human beings, it is believed that the fate of human beings, like other species on the earth, is a species born at the right time, and it is a matter of time before it disappears.
But I don't know when that will happen.
Anyway, we can't see it.
So we don't have to think about it.
As for each of us going to die, there is no need to say more.
If you don't admit it, you have to admit it, everyone is going to die, and life is just a few decades.
Therefore, we should cherish the life that the Tao has given us and let us be human beings.
So we have to cherish this process of being born as a human being.
But that's not what the world thinks.
After the Taoist put forward the "death theory", many people felt panicked.
It is believed that Taoism is propagating negative thoughts, disturbing social order, and rebelling against the way of heaven.
Even if others accept the Taoist "death theory", they believe that the fate of human beings is like that, just like other species, they are born at the right time and die at the wrong time.
People have a limited lifespan, and they are going to die anyway, and they feel that it is not interesting to live.
Life is only a few decades, what are we still tossing and tossing, we will die sooner or later.
Therefore, there will be negative thoughts of escaping the world and mixing with the times.
There are also people who accept the Taoist "death theory", believing that since the fate of human beings is like this, like other species, they are born at the right time and die at the wrong time.
Human life is limited, and they are going to die anyway, so it is better to live happily and be happy with revenge.
Or I do my own thing, and I am the only one in the world.
Anyway, it's death, and being happy for a while is a while.
If there is wine today and drunk tomorrow, it doesn't matter if he is tomorrow or not Anyway, after accepting the Taoist "death theory", there were various reactions and manifestations, and a new outlook on life emerged.
It is precisely because there are too many people who have accepted the traditional idea that they cannot accept it at once after knowing the "death theory" of the family, and they cannot face it correctly and bravely.
So there are many wise people who are reluctant to talk about "life and death".
For example, Confucius, he said: Unknown life, no one knows death Even a wise man like Confucius was reluctant to talk about "death", only about life.
Taoists, especially Yang Zhu and Zhuangzi, believe that we must face this reality bravely, rather than perfunctory and conceal the truth.
We must acknowledge this fact and face it.
That is: everyone is going to die.
The fate of human beings, like other species on the earth, is a species born at the right time, and when it is not suitable for human existence, human beings cannot change that fate.
Because human beings depend on the earth for survival, when the earth can no longer be relied on, what can the fate of human beings be We must not deceive ourselves You can deceive others about how beautiful the future of humanity is, but you can't deceive yourself.
Humanity needs to dream of going out of the earth and making the future of humanity as beautiful as it becomes.
But that's only the future, and what we're facing now is the real life, the life I can feel, that's my life.
And the future, after all, is just a beautiful dream, and I in reality, alive, will not be able to enjoy a better life in the future.
So we have to accept reality and feel that life is real.
First of all, plan my life in reality.
And then plan for a better tomorrow.
If we only talk about the future and do not talk about the present, it is empty talk and unrealistic.
After talking about death, Zhuangzi began to talk about life.
Regarding "life and death", Yang Zhu did not talk about it in detail when he preached at the Mojia branch altar.
Therefore, Zhuangzi emphasized "life and death".
Let's talk about "death" first, and then "life".
Since the ultimate destiny of us and human beings is death, then how should we live, how should we live?
Self-abandonment, passivity and avoidance of the world, getting by, being happy for a while, being the only one in the world, and so on, are not the correct and healthy way to live, and they are all in vain.
Zhuangzi believes that life is only a few decades, and from birth to death, it is a complete life process.
Therefore, we should cherish this short period of time and try to live to the end of our lives.

During the Warring States period, the life span of people was still very short, and there was no longevity of people in modern society.
Add to this man-made reasons such as war, and the life span is even shorter.
Why live to the end of your life?
Zhuangzi believes that this is an opportunity given by the Tao to be human beings, a rare opportunity.
This opportunity is only once, once for everyone.
So we have to cherish it Cherishing life and living to the end of life is the goal and purpose of life.
To be alive is the task given to us by the Tao, the goal and purpose of life Of course, this is what Zhuangzi and his master Yang Zhu think of as life Therefore, we should avoid all factors that affect our survival.
Because living to old age is our goal and purpose in life You can get by, mix things up, that's your choice.
You want to live that way, you feel that life is good that way, and no one can interfere with your choice and freedom.
But can you live to the end of your life, can you complete your life, can you complete the whole process of your life this time?
You can also choose to live the kind of life that is happy for a while.
But can you live to the end of your life, can you complete your life, can you complete the whole process of your life this time?
You can choose power, money, beauty, honor, vanity, go your own way, be the only one in the world, and so on, you can do it, but can you live to the end of your life, can you complete your life, can you complete the whole process of your life this time If you think you're willing to do this, even if you die tomorrow, what will happen to labor and management today?
There is no way, it is your own choice, you don't regret it, because you think it's your life, and you don't regret the life you choose.
Zhuangzi believes that doing so is not a correct and healthy life.
Because you don't cherish the whole process of your life, your life is incomplete, you don't live to old age, what you experience is only a part of the happiness in your life, not the happiness of the whole life.
You don't have a full life.
Some people think: since life is short for a few decades, from birth to death, it is not interesting to live for the sake of living.
So it's the same thing to die early and die late.
Zhuangzi disagrees, believing that life is very interesting at every stage of our lives.
Because we have happiness for ourselves and our loved ones at different stages.
When we were in the womb, we brought new life and hope to our parents.
When we were infants, we brought our parents a yearning for a better life in the future.
When we are young, we can also bring joy to our parents, elders and those around us.
When we are young, we support our parents and elders, and we can also take care of others and help those in need.
When we are young, we can engage in careers and hobbies that we like.
When we are young, men and women rejoice, start new families, and have children When we are old, in our old age, there is the joy of children and grandchildren around our knees.
When we are going to die, we can remember our lives and feel that we have a complete life.
In each period of our lives, we will have different life experiences, and only by living to the end of our lives can we experience the whole thing Who says our lives aren't interesting Every moment of our lives has a different meaning It's just that most of us don't live in our own planned lives, but are swayed by others.
Many people find life boring because they are being controlled by others.
To live vulgarly is to be swayed by others, and life in this way is not interesting To live in conformity is to be influenced by others, and life in this way is meaningless We have to live in the rules of life that we have made, not the rules of life that others have made.
Other people's lives and joys belong to others, and you may not experience them.
