I have read a lot of books on the interpretation of Zhuangzi, and now many predecessors have not reached the point in their interpretation of the Taoist concept of life and death.
Where is the root of this?
Analyze it, and now: the main root cause is because they don't understand the Tao If they do not understand the Tao of Taoism, or do not accept the "Tao", then they will not be able to correctly interpret Zhuangzi, interpret Taoism, and interpret Taoism's view of life and death There are also many scholars, who can only prove that they have read many books, can only prove that they have a good memory, and can quote scriptures and their works to say that in the end it is still a confused account, so that the reader has that feeling in the clouds, and in the end they do not decipher anything, but only prove that the author has read many books and thinks that the author is "knowledgeable".
In Zhuangzi's theory of all things, there is an exposition of life and death.
I have read a lot of books that interpret the theory of all things, and they all think that Zhuangzi's concept of life and death is "life and death of Qi".
If we look at it from the single theory of all things, it seems to be like that, Zhuangzi is talking about "Qi life and death", "Qi all things", heaven and earth are one finger, and all things are one horse.
But it is not necessarily the same life and death, all things, heaven and earth are one finger, and all things are one horse, it is just a paragraph in the article, which is only used to explain to the reader, with examples, so that you can understand, not the central idea of the whole article.
The intention of Zhuangzi Qi Life and Death, Qi All Things, Heaven and Earth, and All Things and One Horse is to tell us to look at things, the universe, and the source of human beings from the perspective and height of the Tao.
When we understand the origin of humanity and the final destination of humanity, we can look back at life.
Looking at human life and real life, will our outlook on life change because of this, will we change our wrong outlook on life, world outlook and cosmology in the past?
When we don't know the origin of human beings and the final destination of human beings, when our cognition of the human world and the universe is still in the religious stage, we cannot truly understand the origin of the universe and human beings.
We don't know where humanity comes from and where it ends up, and when we don't really understand what we're living for, our lives are muddled lives.
As it is said in the theory of all things, most people in the world are shadow lives, the shadows of others, and the shadows of their ancestors.
They live as others live, they live as others live, they live as they are, repeating yesterday's stories, repeating the lives of their ancestors.
This is not to attack religion or to denigrate religion.
Religion is only an important stage in the process of human civilization and a kind of human cognition of the world and the universe.
This is because it is correct to understand the universe in a materialistic and debatical way.
It is unscientific to use the method of idealism to understand the universe.
Taoists believe that this cosmic world is evolved.
Man, like everything on earth, has evolved.
The earth and the sun, moon and starry sky are only a part of the vast universe, and they have also evolved.
How it evolved is impossible to explore.
But we can deduce from recent evolutionary processes that the world has evolved.
Taoists believe that human beings, like everything on earth, are just one species between heaven and earth.
They are born by the action of heaven and earth, and they are destroyed by the disappearance of the action of heaven and earth.
Human beings, like everything on earth, are born at the right time and die at the wrong time.
When the earth is no longer suitable for human existence, human beings, like other species, will become extinct and disappear.
This kind of inference is not a fallacy to confuse the public or deceive people's minds and disturb society, but a problem that human beings must face squarely.
The extinction of other species on Earth is not entirely due to mutual killing, but to the inadequacy of the environment.
Why should we be afraid of death?
Why do we covet life?
Why are we human beings greedy for life and afraid of death?
Human death is inevitable, so why are we so taboo about the future fate of mankind?
We ourselves can't guarantee that we won't die, so why are we so taboo to talk about the future fate of mankind, why don't we dare to face the future fate of mankind Analyzing, we will find: Because we have given the future many beautiful dreams and wishes.
We are dead, but we still have children and grandchildren.
Although we are dead, our dreams and our children and grandchildren will realize them.
Therefore, you are not allowed to say, "Mankind is a species born at the right time, and sooner or later mankind will perish, and one species of other species will perish."
"If you say such things, you are cursing us, cursing our children and grandchildren It is for this reason that we have the legend of "immortality".
It is for this reason that most people are afraid to face the reality that they may be born.
Although the reality does not yet know which generation of our children and grandchildren will be born, maybe there are more than 10,000 years of "wise men" who will worry about the affairs of their children and grandchildren in 10,000,000 years, and care about the lives of their children and grandchildren in 10,000,000 years.
If you want to say who is a wise man, I am afraid that they are wise men, and they are worried about the happy life of all generations, so that the wise people, their lives should be the happiest in the world In fact, Taoism only predicts the future fate of human beings based on the theory of Tao and the necessity of evolution, but it does not mean that human beings must perish or will perish immediately.
Even if the Taoist prediction is that it is possible to be born, it will be at least countless years later.
Since it is countless years later, why don't we dare to face it, why don't we dare to talk about it The "Qi life and death" in Zhuangzi's theory of all things is not to promote negative thoughts, it is not to tell us not to act, to be mixed and wait for death, but not to tell us to stand on the height of the Tao to look at life and human beings.
According to Taoist theory, people are going to die, which is an unavoidable reality.
If you say that human beings are going to die, no one will say that you are promoting negative thoughts, but if you say that human beings will perish sooner or later, and human beings, like other species on the earth, will be born at the right time and die at the wrong time, and countless people will stand up and say you.

What Zhuangzi said in the theory of Qi is not to promote the negative idea of "Qi life and death", but to ask us to correctly face life and death, and face death.
First of all, we face our own death, and we face this time of our life.
And then face the future fate of mankind.
Since human beings, like other species, are a species that is born at the right time, born at the right time and die at the wrong time, we must dare to face it.
Why don't we dare to face the final demise of humanity?
It's not that we have given many dreams for the future, but I dream of the future very well.
We may not be able to enjoy that wonderful world anymore, but we have children and grandchildren, and our children and grandchildren can make that dream come true Therefore, you are not allowed to speak of death, and you are not allowed to speak of the ultimate fate of mankind Therefore, Zhuangzi is not allowed to say "Qi life and death", you say "Qi life and death", you are preaching negative thoughts, you are cursing our children and grandchildren, you are preaching negative thoughts, disturbing society, and making the world not want to forge ahead.
The world thinks that human beings are going to perish in the end, and if they still have children, they will perish sooner or later, and they will be mixed up for a day, isn't it As a result, Zhuangzi and Taoism were put on a big hat, negative thoughts, you bewitched people's hearts, you said that people are going to die, and sooner or later mankind will perish And don't want to think about the fact that people are going to die, people are going to die, then life is not interesting, if we understand it this way, why can't we accept Zhuangzi's theory of "Qi life and death", and we can't accept the ultimate fate of human beings Someone must say: people are going to die, we can't avoid it, but we have children and grandchildren to continue our dreams.
You say that the ultimate fate of mankind is like that, and we can't accept it, so that our children and grandchildren have no need to continue.
Anyway, the end result is like that, is there any need to continue, so I am not allowed to talk about the fate of mankind in the future You are not allowed to say that human beings, like other species, are born at the right time and die at the wrong time.
That's why you, Zhuangzi, and you Taoists are preaching negative thoughts So I'm going to ban you Zhuangzi said: You just want to seal the sin I want to add, and there is no word for trouble I'm telling the truth, you're just going to buckle my hat.
I said that people are going to die, and you said that you have sons and grandchildren, and your children and grandchildren can continue your dreams.
I say that human beings are one of other species, born at the right time and die at the wrong time, and you say that I am demagogic and spread negative thoughts.
If you just don't let me speak, you will recognize that your Confucianism, Mohism, and Zhuzi Hundred Schools are right, and Taoism is wrong Now, may I say a few words?
Why are you so afraid of death, afraid of the final outcome of mankind, and don't dare to face it, is it true, don't you dare to face it?
Let's not talk about this first, I just want to ask: the real-life problems we are facing have not been solved, our own survival is not guaranteed, what do we care about to return our sons and grandchildren, and return our children and grandchildren to future generations Let's face real life first, and let's face the problem of survival in real life This is the reason and purpose of Zhuangzi and Taoism to put forward the "Qi Life and Death", let us stand on the height of the Tao to face the reality, rather than facing the dream and the future Dreams are needed, and the future belongs to the next generation.
And let's solve the problems we face, solve the problems in real life, and face survival In the Zhuangzi period, in the Laozi period, in any period of human history, survival is always a real problem for us.
How we live better, more sensibly, and healthily is the important and realistic way to live, not the dream of a better world in the future.
Because the beautiful world of the future does not belong to us, but the beautiful world of the future belongs to future generations.
Let's face the reality, face our life, face our real life, this real life belongs to us It's really not guaranteed for my own survival, and it's too great to worry about future generations We don't know why we live, what we live for, we all live like shadows, we live how others live, that's our sorrow:
