Chapter 797: The Taoist View of Life and Death (4)


The "Qi life and death" and the theory of life and death in Zhuangzi's theory of all things are actually preaching.

What the Tao is can be understood through this passage.

The birth and death, and the death and life are the transformation of the sermon, from this thing to that thing, from that thing to another thing.

It's actually preaching.

In fact, it is talking about the origin of the universe.

In fact, it is talking about the origin of human beings In fact, it is talking about the origin of all things in the world.

If you study Taoist philosophy, if you don't understand what Tao is, then you can't understand Taoism.

All your interpretations are in the clouds.

The world is no bigger than the end of Qiuhao, and the mountains are small; Mo Shou died in the dead, and Peng Zu died in death.

Heaven and earth are born with me, and all things are one with me.

This passage is also preaching.

This paragraph means: There is nothing in the world that is bigger than the end of the autumn, and Tarzan is the smallest; Why do you say that, because the end of Qiuhao is the end of Qiuhao, and the beginning of new things, according to the change theory of the Tao, maybe that new thing is bigger than Taishan, so Taishan is smaller than the end of Qiuhao.

No one in the world lives longer than a child who dies young, and the legendary longest-lived Peng Zu was short-lived.

Why do you say that, because the child who died in infancy was the end of his life, but it was also the beginning of his transformation into something new.

According to the change theory of the Dao, maybe that new thing has a longer lifespan than Peng Zu, and Peng Zu's lifespan is just a child who died in front of him.

Therefore, Peng Zu is not the longest-lived.

According to the theory of the Tao, we all come from the Tao.

Therefore, it is said: Heaven and earth coexist with me, and all things are one with me.

We are all children of the Word, and we are all part of the Word, and we are all Word, regardless of one another Judging from the above paragraph, Zhuangzi's theory of all things and life and death is telling us that we must look at life from the perspective and height of people, and look at life, life and death from the perspective and height of the Tao.

If we simply look at life, life and death from the perspective and height of people, we will be stubborn and obsessed with the level and height of people.

We will be greedy for life and afraid of death, and I will be obsessed with life and afraid of death.

If we simply look at life from the perspective and height of human beings, we will not only care about ourselves, but also our own families, relatives and future generations, and fool others.

If we care only about ourselves, our families, our loved ones, our families, our families, and future generations, we must affect the survival of others.

If it affects the survival of others, others will inevitably rise up and resist, and others will inevitably cause chaos in society if they stand up and resist.

If we jump out of the circle of people and look at life from the unity of heaven and earth or from the height of the Tao, will we see through life?

Don't talk to Taoists about Confucianism or Moism, and don't say that this doctrine and that doctrine, and that the laws of this country and the laws of that country are more suitable for human beings.

Taoists believe that you have not jumped out of the circle of people, you have not stood at a higher height and realm to look at life and human beings, you are all treating headaches and feet, and you are quacks.

Before the philosophy of life and the philosophy of mankind have not solved the problem of the origin of human beings, what people live for, and what they live for, all ideas, isms, religions, etc. are just the way for human beings to live a normal and healthy life, and human beings' thinking and attempts in this regard are just a method of survival.

To put it more bluntly, it's just an attempt to find a way to survive and survive better Only when we jump out of the circle of people and reflect on life and look at life from more angles may we have an epiphany.

If we think that life is only for the sake of living, just to complete the process of this life, will we still be obsessed with pursuing those things and obsessions that are not interesting to live?

After talking about life, Zhuangzi began to talk about death.

In the Theory of Homogeneity, Zhuangzi tells people not to be afraid of death, believing that death is a kind of destination.

Isn't a person who is afraid of death like a disoriented child who doesn't know the way home and doesn't know how to go home?

In the Theory of Homogeneous Things, there is such a passage that writes this: To give evil is to know that life is not confusing and evil, and to be evil, to know that evil is not to die and not to be weak and mourn, and not to know the evil of returning This passage translates to: How do I know that people are greedy to live, and their lives are free of confusion and distress?

How do I know that people are afraid of death, and their lives are like lost children who don't know where their home is, and they don't know where they are going home Is there no hardship for us to live, and can we escape from death?

Regarding the fear of death, Zhuangzi also has this wonderful exhortation in the Theory of Things: Lizhiji, the son of the Ai Feng people.

The beginning of the Jin Kingdom was also obtained, and he wept and wept; And as for the king's house, he went to bed with the king, and ate and swept, and regretted his weeping.

To the evil husband, the deceased does not regret the beginning This passage translates to: Liji is the daughter of the person who defended the territory of Aidi, because of her beauty, the Jin Kingdom captured her when he conquered Lirong and did not kill her.

She was crying so much that she was soaking through her clothes, thinking she was finished; When she entered the palace of King Jin, was pampered as a lady and slept in the same bed with the Marquis of Jin, and ate delicious dishes, she regretted crying so sadly at the beginning, and almost missed the good days.

So how do we know that those who die, whether they will regret that they were so greedy for life in the first place, and how do we know if life after death is not as good as when we were alive, just like Lizzie, who thinks it is over, but enjoys glory and luxury.

For Taoists, death is not terrible, as a human being is dead, but as a Tao, our corpses after death do not know what will change into something, maybe it will change into a big chun, maybe it will change into a butterfly, maybe it will change into eternity About Zhuang Zhou's allusion to the butterfly.

In the last paragraph of Zhuangzi's theory of homogeneity, there is the story of Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly.

For Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, it has long been explained in a fog.

And there are not many articles that are really correct.

The former Zhuang Zhou Dream is Hu Die, lifelike Hu Die, self-metaphor Shizhi and not knowing Zhou Ye.

Oh Ran Jue, then Yu Ran Zhou also.

I don't know that Zhou's dream is Hu Die, and Hu Die's dream is Zhou and Zhou and Hu Die, then there must be a difference.

This is called materialization.

The correct interpretation should be: Once Zhuang Zhou dreamed that he was a butterfly, dancing, a butterfly at ease, he felt particularly happy and comfortable, feeling that he didn't know that he was Zhuang Zhou, and thought he was a butterfly.

Suddenly, he remembered, and was immediately frightened: Am I Zhuang Zhou or a butterfly, I don't know if Zhuang Zhou became a butterfly in his dream, or a butterfly became Zhuang Zhou in his dream There must be a difference between Zhuang Zhou and a butterfly, Zhuang Zhou is Zhuang Zhou, and a butterfly is a butterfly.

Both humans and butterflies come from the Tao and have evolved over countless years.

One became a human being, became Zhuang Zhou; One evolved into an insect and a butterfly.

This is called materialization, and everyone has evolved from the Tao and evolved into different species.

Man is a species, butterflies are a species, trees are a species, beasts are a species, everyone is a species.

Through this allusion, can we get an epiphany from it?

If we all regard ourselves as a species in heaven and earth, will our attitude towards life change because of this?
