Zhuangzi spent three days talking about what the Tao is.
It wasn't until everyone understood and understood what it meant that he changed the subject and started talking about people.
For these three days, he ate and lived in the town chief's house, that is, in the town office.
During the day, he preached from the pulpit, and at night, he opened a small stove for his wife-in-law and her friends and continued to preach.
Every time my sister-in-law finished arranging all the affairs of the family, she would go to the back of the podium at the entrance of the town government to listen to the sermon.
She had a curtain built and hid herself inside.
The sun couldn't shine on her, and outsiders couldn't see her, but after all, it was summer, and it was still very hot inside the curtain.
Mai'er also wanted to come to listen to Brother Zhuang's preaching, and even wanted to come over to see the excitement.
But she still didn't worry about the gold and silver at home, so she had to stay at home.
Just take care of the two brothers who are begging for half and begging.
When the people of Qiyuan heard that Zhuangzi opened the altar to preach, all those who had time, and those who could find time, came to listen to the sermon while rushing to the market.
There are many people who have moved to the houses of relatives on the side of the town.
They go to the bazaar in the morning to catch the market and sell the goods they have brought.
Or buy the goods you need.
In the morning, I went to the square in front of the town yamen to listen to the sermon.
In the afternoon, I returned to my relative's house and helped my relative's family to do the work, which was regarded as paying the accommodation fee.
Relatives were also happy, and provided accommodation, but got one or more laborers.
Not only did they not find it troublesome, but they also hoped that their relatives would stay longer.
It's summer, and there's a lot of farm work, so it's much easier to have an extra helper.
The merchants, shops, wineries, restaurants, inns, carpenters, garment shops, gold, silver and jewelry shops in Qiyuan Town all prospered because of Zhuangzi's preaching.
The square in front of the town yamen was originally not small, but because there were too many people who came to listen to the sermon, it still seemed small.
There are many low-quality people who have wasted the crops around the square, which has caused the owners of the crops to not hide it, and almost caused a fight.
However, there were Taoist protectors and people in the town government who came forward, and they were quickly settled.
Both the protector and the town government expressed their willingness to compensate the owner of the crop.
Afterwards, a double subsidy was really given.
Only then did the situation calm down, and the owner of the crop land no longer cared whether anyone stepped on the crops, anyway, if he stepped on it, he could ask the town government for double compensation.
Zhuangzi spent three days preaching, and another three days talking about people, and what is a human being.
Only when people understand what the Tao is, can they talk about what a person is.
Zhuangzi told people that man comes from the Tao.
Man, like everything on the earth, comes from the Tao, and they are just a species.
Human, like other species on earth, is just a species born at the right time.
When the earth is suitable for human habitation and survival, human beings will live well, and when the earth is no longer suitable for human habitation and survival, human beings, like other species, will become extinct.
Of course, this is just a Taoist speculation and conclusion, and it is an extension of the Taoist theory.
It is the result of inferring from observing the laws of survival and extinction of other species.
To be specific, it is inferred from the theory of "being" and "nothing" in Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching After deciding the fate of mankind, Zhuangzi began to talk about the fate of mankind again.
Don't be confused, the fate of humanity and the fate of man are not the same thing.
The fate of man is visible, there are decades.
And the fate of mankind is not known for the time being.
We can predict that the fate of humanity is the same as that of other species, but it is uncertain when it will become extinct.
And the fate of man, the life span of man, can be determined.
The lifespan of our people is more than 100 years old.
And for some, it may only be for a short time.
Death, days, months, years, decades.
Under normal circumstances, the life span of a human being is only a few decades.
Since the fate of mankind is nothing more than that, like other species, it is just a species born at the right time.

So how should we face the future of humanity?
Now that the fate of human beings has been determined, there will be people who will treat it negatively and feel that human beings are not interesting, and they will die sooner or later anyway.
Zhuangzi said that it is something that may happen in the future, and I don't know how many generations will come from now, and it is not something we need to face, but something that our descendants need to face.
And we need to face how to live.
We need to face the reality, not the unknown of the future.
We need to face the process of our life, how we will live in this life.
If we ourselves cannot live now, what is the point of thinking about the future fate of mankind?
What is said about the fate of humanity in the future is what those who are interested in it and those who live without worry think and do, not what those of us who are running for survival think and worry about.
People and life are what Zhuangzi focuses on.
Zhuangzi believes that we are born as human beings, and that the Tao has given us, and that we cannot avoid and must face.
If we feel that life is too short and we don't want to come to this world, we can choose not to come to this world.
But we don't have that right.
We came in such a daze, and we came without a choice.
It is precisely because we have no choice, so since it has come, whether it is a lifetime of pain or happiness, we must face it Since we have come to be born as human beings, we must face it, and we must cherish this opportunity to be born as human beings.
We're just a species We are just human beings If we were trees, we were tigers, we were the wind, we were air, we were dirt, we were pigs, we were dogs, we we Whatever we become, we are just a species Since we are born as human beings, let's treat ourselves as human beings Our species is human, which is different from other species, and human beings have human living habits and habits, and other species have the living habits of other species.
Since we are human beings, what are our habits?
Man, like any other species, is our purpose and task to live, and we cannot avoid it.
Since human beings are born, they are meant to live, and it is a process of life until they die.
We cannot control the birth of people.
And the death of people, we can control it.
As intelligent people, we can allow ourselves to live to old age instead of giving up halfway.
Born naturally and old naturally is a complete life.
Zhuangzi defines life as a complete process from birth to natural old age.
Then Zhuangzi began to talk about what people have experienced in this life.
It also repeats the infancy, adolescence, youth, middle age, and old age.
Talk about what we have experienced and faced in our lives, and talk about our responsibilities and responsibilities as human beings.
When we were young, we were raised by our parents and elders.
When we reach the age of youth, we repeat the life of our fathers and elders and begin to marry and raise our own children and offspring.
In old age, we can't take care of our children, and we still need our children to take care of them.
So we also have the responsibility to take care of our parents and elders.
This is our unavoidable responsibility and responsibility:
