In 291 BC, Zhuang Zhou was 79 years old.
In the sixteenth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the fifth year of King Han Li, the fifth year of King Zhao of Wei, and the thirty-eighth year of the reign of Song Junyan, Song Yu died.
Song Yu, also known as Song Zi, was a native of Songcheng in the Song Kingdom.
Song Yu, as famous as Yin Wen.
He is the author of the book Song Zi.
Mencius records that Mencius once met Song Yu and called him "sir", and Mencius called himself "Ke".
Song Yu and Song Zhe were cousins, and Song Zhe inherited the title and became the master of Songjia Town.
And the Song Yu family gradually degenerated into ordinary people, fending for their own livelihood.
Song Yu and Hui Shi are cousins, and both lived in Songjia Town when they were teenagers.
When the young Zhuangzi went out for the first time, he met Hui Shi and Song Yu in Songjia Town.
Later, when Yang Zhu preached in the Mojia branch altar, Zhuangzi only saw Hui Shi but not Song Yu.
After listening to Yang Zhu's sermon, Song Yu followed a Taoist and left without being with Hui Shi.
When he was in Jixia School Palace, because of the relationship between his son Tian Ju, Song Yu did not meet Zhuangzi, and the two missed the opportunity to communicate.
Later, Song Yu spent most of his time lecturing in the Jixia School Palace of Qi State, and only had a few time to travel, or temporarily left Qi State for Qi State to do business.
In his later years, Song Yu had dealings with Zhuangzi.
Specifically, it was only after Hui Shi resigned and returned to the Song Kingdom that they officially interacted.
Song Yu learned that Hui Shi was dead, and specially came to mourn, and only after hearing about Zhuangzi did he come to find Zhuangzi.
When they were young, Song Yu and Zhuangzi admired each other.
Song Yu was very convinced of Zhuangzi, and Zhuangzi also admired Song Yu's understanding of Taoist doctrine.
Zhuangzi often referred to Song Yu and called Song Yu a gentleman.
It's just that due to the slow traffic and information in the past, the two didn't end up meeting.
Song Yu died, and Zhuangzi rushed over as soon as possible to deal with the funeral for him.
Seeing that Song Yu was also dead, almost all the people he knew when he was a teenager died, Zhuangzi also decided to feather and ascend.
Not to mention that the people I knew when I was a teenager are all dead, but the people I knew when I was young, and how many people I knew in middle age are still alive In this troubled world, my life is in danger, I take off my shoes and socks at night, and I don't know if I can wear them tomorrow and see the sun tomorrow.
Even if you are still alive in the morning, you may die in a war or accident before the sun goes down.
It's rare to really live to his age.
Especially the Song Kingdom, since the reign of King Song Kang, the Song Kingdom has become even more chaotic.
The comprehensive national strength and popular support accumulated during the Song Dynasty disappeared under his tyranny.
The treasury was empty, and King Kang of Song was constantly squeezing, forcing the people of Song to think of all ways to leave Song and immigrate to other countries.
Most of the people who stayed behind were old, weak, sick and disabled.
The few able-bodied people had to avoid military service.
The reason why they did not leave the Song Kingdom was because they were concerned about the Song Kingdom.
Their parents, elders, need to be taken care of, and their spouses, children, and descendants need to be taken care of.
It's not that they are stupid, or they don't have a way to leave the Song Kingdom.
But out of family affection and people's hearts, they had to stay.
The reason why they didn't leave the Song Kingdom was because they didn't want to live alone.
During the reign of King Kang of Song, he also learned from King Wei Hui in his later years and attacked hereditary nobles.
Under the idea of Zhuangzi, King Hui of Wei continued to weaken the hereditary nobility of Wei, taking back their fiefs and making them state-owned.
King Song Kang was the same, the people did not have the oppression, he had to attack the hereditary nobles.
Although Songjiazhen still exists, the hereditary title has been revoked, and Song Zhe has been reduced to a commoner and lives on the surplus from the past.
The same is true of Song Yu's family, all hereditary-related favors have been revoked.
In the Song Kingdom, not only the Song Yu and Song Zhe families, but all the hereditary nobles who were not officials in the court had no privileges.
In the past, the hereditary aristocracy after the change of dynasty was only weakened a little, little by little.
For example, the fiefdom is decreasing little by little, and the special treatment is decreasing little by little, which is the kind of "gradual regression".
And in the later period of King Song Kang, it was directly broken Just like when King Song Kang came to power, he directly took back the place where Song Kecheng gave the Mo family to the Zhuangzi family.

Without hereditary nobility, the descendants of these people are also subject to military service.
Suddenly, King Song Kang was able to recruit a lot of sound soldiers.
However, the descendants of these hereditary nobles, although they are in good health, have limited physique, patience, and moral qualities.
Therefore, the army of King Song Kang cannot be improved in terms of combat effectiveness.
On the way to the funeral, someone lamented to Zhuangzi, saying that King Kang of Song was tyrannical and incompetent, and that the Song State had so many great talents, but it could not be reused.
"Don't say anything else, just in front of you, Zhuangzi is a great talent, and Song Zi is a great talent, and Huizi" At this time, the funeral procession happened to pass by the grave of Keiko Huishi.
The man pointed to Keiko's grave with his hand and sighed.
Needless to say, right in front of me, there are three great talents in the Song Kingdom.
Zhuangzi was not allowed to be reused in his life, and he was persecuted by the two generations of kings of Song Quecheng and Song Kang.
If Song Juecheng is a Ming monarch, if he does not doubt the suspicion of ghosts, he will reuse Zhuangzi, and Zhuangzi may be a big hidden in the court, and like Song Rongzi, he will be an official in the Song Kingdom.
Use Taoist doctrine to govern the world and govern the hearts of the people of the Song Dynasty.
But Song Quecheng not only did not reuse, but also persecuted.
Hui Shi was also not reused in the Song State, and he spent his best time in the Wei State and became a foreign minister in the Wei State.
Its benefits have not been reused in the Wei State, and the so-called foreign minister is just running errands for the king.
Song Yu was worse than Zhuangzi and Huizi, and he was not reused in his life, so he could only live in the Jixia School Palace of Qi and make a living by lecturing.
Zhuangzi turned back to the man and said, "There is a man in Yingdi who smeared white ash on the tip of his own nose, and the white ash was only the size of the wings of a mosquito and a fly, and he asked a certain craftsman to cut off this little white spot with an axe.
The smith whirred with his axe, and slashed the white dots in a casual manner, the white ash on the tip of his nose completely shaved off, but his nose was not hurt at all.
The man with white ash on the tip of his nose stood there as if nothing had happened.
King Song Kang of Song Yuanjun knew about this, summoned the craftsman and said: You try this for me.
"I was indeed able to cut off the little white dots on the tip of my nose.
That said, the partner I worked with has been dead for a long time.
Without a partner, I wouldn't have that ability anymore.
Alas, since Keiko passed away, I have no rival to match, I have no one to argue with."
Zhuangzi not only lamented that he did not have Hui Shi as an opponent for debate, but also lamented life, lamenting that King Song Kang and Song Cuacheng were not his partners.
In this world, there is only one person who can debate with him, and that is Hui Shi.
Through the debate with Hui Shi, through Hui Shi's faults, his thinking was more cautious.
In terms of the words used, they are all rigorous.
Otherwise, Hui Shi will definitely find fault with you.
Zhuangzi not only lamented this, he also lamented that his life was coming to an end.
His peers are dead, so are those younger than him, and it's time for him to ascend.
Although he has cultivated into a real human body and has an immortal body, what is the point of him living alone If it is against common sense, Taoists will not do it.
Taoism is about integrating into life and living like the people around you.
So he had to "die". aa2705221:
