The last paragraph of the Zhuangzi chapter should be the emperor's "gods and witches look at the face", as if it is not connected with the whole article, not about the "rule of the emperor", a little off topic.
It's just like the "Ku Ding Jie Niu" in the health master, which is a little out of place with the whole article.
In fact, the style of these two articles is the same.
It may seem irrelevant, but they all have a certain metaphorical meaning.
If you understand the metaphor, you won't feel disconnected from the whole article.
On the contrary, you will feel too perfect.
There are too many people in history who have interpreted these two articles incoherently.
They can't get together, they can only talk nonsense.
Or they can talk about it and show off their knowledge, which only proves that they have read a lot of books in the end.
But another point is exposed: no matter how many books they read, they may not know much about it.
If they don't understand the Tao, they can only talk nonsense.
As mentioned earlier, the "Ku Ding Jie Niu" in the health master is not only about the cow, but also about social relations.
When we understand the nature of social relations, we will be able to "move with ease" in society and be able to maintain our health better.
In response to the emperor's "gods and witches", the paragraph is about acting, if life is compared to a big drama, it is a TV series, then this TV series is interpreting a person's life or "half a life".
He died before he lived to the end of his life. is a lifetime in his own life drama, and only a few episodes are performed in other people's life dramas.
Of course, this is interpreted in modern language.
During the Warring States period, there were no TV dramas, only short dramas of song and dance, and courtesans danced in front of kings and hereditary nobles.
Or when the sacrifice is made, some rituals are performed or something.
In short, this paragraph of "gods and witches look at the appearance" is telling us: different mentalities and moods, our lives are different, and the impressions we leave on others are different.
To put it more bluntly: our outlook on life is different, our life is different, and the way we behave and do things is different.
Each of us has a different perspective on life, and as a result, the world becomes rich and chaotic.
The root cause of social chaos is that our outlook on life is confused, there is no unity, and it is all wrong.
So society is in chaos.
It is useless to unify the outlook on life, and even if the outlook on life is unified, it is still wrong.
It's just good for some people, and not for others.
For example, Confucianism.
Confucianism has dominated Chinese culture for more than 2,000 years, and society is just as chaotic.
To be able to maintain relative stability for decades is remarkable.
A doctrine that does not solve the philosophy of life can only be called "coping thought", a way to deal with real world affairs, a quack medical thought that treats headaches and pains.
What is always solved is only the problem of social reality and appearance.
And not the fundamental problem of man, not the philosophical question.
Without solving the problem of the philosophy of life, there will never be peace in human society.
Peace exists, but it is always short-lived compared to the long course of history.
Decades of peace, in the face of the long river of history, the ashes are gone.
Straight to the point.
The god and witch Ji Xian can look at the face, and Liezi thinks that this person is amazing, so he wants to change the door and worship others as teachers.
However, Liezi is an honest man, so he told the teacher about it.
The pot said Liezi for a while, and then asked Liezi to bring this person over to show him his face, so that Liezi could see the master's skills.
Liezi brought the witch Ji Xian to show the teacher, and he also wanted to see and compare, who is the most capable.
The god witch Ji Xian showed Liezi's teacher pot a total of four times, and the last time he ran away.
I feel that I have met a master, and I dare not show off anymore.
Or feel that they have been tricked and have no face to see people.
The first time the witch Ji Xian showed the pot his appearance, the pot showed him the "local language".
Diwen, the image of the earth in winter, the earth is depressed and lifeless.
To put it more bluntly, it is the "appearance of the dead".

The pot pretended to be the appearance of a dying person, and asked the witch Ji Xian to show him his face.
As a result, the witch Ji Xian didn't know that people were playing him, and he seriously cast spells on others and played some deceptive tricks, and then collected the money and left.
The witch Ji Xian showed the pot the appearance for the second time, and the pot showed him the "appearance of the world".
What is the phase of heaven and earth, it is the phase of the germination of heaven and earth, the sign that spring is coming, the earth is recovering, and everything is budding.
It's too esoteric to say this, to put it bluntly, the pot pretends to be a person who has just recovered from a serious illness.
As a result, the witch Ji Xian didn't know that people were playing him, and he seriously cast spells on others and played some deceptive tricks, and then collected the money and left.
He also bragged to Liezi, saying: "Fortunately, Mr.
Yizi met me, and there is a complete life, and I see his Du Quanyi", which means that if your teacher hadn't met me, then he would have died.
The witch Ji Xian showed the pot the appearance for the third time, and the pot showed him the "appearance of Taichong".
What is Tai Chong's appearance, to put it bluntly, it is to pretend that his condition is getting worse and he is about to die, and then he is pretending to be better.
As a result, the witch Ji Xian didn't know that people were playing him, and this time he didn't cast a spell on the pot, and he didn't perform his tricks to deceive people.
Because he couldn't see whether Liezi's teacher pot was cured or died It seems that this witch Ji Xian still has a moral bottom line, and he doesn't just care about collecting money and deceiving people.
Maybe at this time he began to suspect that he was being tricked.
After all, he is also a high-IQ person, and he is not so easy to be fooled.
Liezi was puzzled and asked the teacher what was going on The pot began to speak, and he said that there were nine kinds of yuan, and he only said three.
He only showed the faces of the three kinds of people to the god witch Ji Xian just now, and the "six kinds" were not displayed.
In fact, there are more than nine types of human faces, and this is just a metaphor.
The ancients cherished ink like gold, and the style of writing is like this, which makes you think.
The pot said: "My hometown shows that the ether is not victorious, and it is to see my balance of qi."
The trial of the salamander is the abyss, the trial of stopping the water is the abyss, and the trial of the flowing water is the abyss.
There are nine in the abyss, and there are three here.
Taste and come. ” The next day, Liezi brought the god witch Xianji to see the teacher pot.
This time, Ji Xian hadn't yet stood still, so he couldn't run on his own.
Liezi asked, "What's going on, why is he running?"
The pot said: "The face and appearance I showed him just now are the appearance of an ignorant teenager.
I didn't reveal my details, I was just a curious teenager who didn't know anything.
I just looked at him, and he couldn't figure out what I was.
So I changed into a very well-behaved, obedient and unsure of what to do.
He may have seen it: I was pretending, pretending to be submissive, pretending to be obedient, but in fact I was testing him in turn.
So he fled. ” After reading the above introduction, the metaphor of the witch looking at this paragraph comes out.
The mentality of people in the world is varied, and the faces of people in the world are also varied, and you have no idea what other people think in their hearts.
It is not easy to see through a person.
Maybe we are like the witch Ji Xian, who thinks we are smart, but we are still tricked by people who are as good as pots.
Everyone else is an actor and can act.
This is what Zhuangzi wants to tell us.
But that's not all And how can we be like the teacher's pot: to understand all kinds of life?
A person who has not comprehended life will not be able to interpret this role well.
Even if he is a Hollywood international film and television superstar, I am afraid that he will not be able to play the role of "all kinds of life".
Therefore, another intention of the witch to look at this paragraph of text came out again.
Only when we learn the Tao and understand life can we play this role well, and we can "play it well" in society.
In fact, this is also talking about autonomy and people's autonomy Zhuangzi Ying Emperor is talking about the "rule of the emperor" and how to rule the world.
It is never enough to rely on the emperor alone to govern society, but also to be self-governing and self-disciplined.
After writing about the appearance of gods and witches, Zhuangzi wrote about how Liezi learned the Tao, and finally returned to learning the Tao.
If we don't understand the Tao, we can't be the protagonists in society, we will always be a layman, and we will go with the flow.
Liezi followed the teacher to learn the Tao with sincerity and returned home.

He didn't dare to do anything like he used to be, as if he hadn't learned anything.
Without going out for three years, he helped his wife cook on the fire and be a good husband.
Feeding pigs is like a waiter, not treating pigs as pigs, but as their own brothers and sisters.
Because people and all things come from heaven and earth, pigs also come from heaven and earth.
So he treats pigs as brothers and sisters.
Treat all kinds of world affairs, regardless of relatives and relatives, and no partiality.
The carvings and ornaments of the past have restored them to their original appearance.
All things are just a species that exists on the earth, so let them keep their own shape and exist in the world, although all things are diverse, they all have their own nature.
People have human nature, things have material nature, and pigs also have their own personality and material knowledge, which is the highest state of cognition.
But all things come from the Tao, and eventually they must return to the Tao.
Therefore, if they have existed, it is the same as if they did not exist, and when they come to this world, it is as if they have not been, they are just one thing materialized by the Tao.
Human beings are just a species materialized by the Tao.
So don't chase fame and things outside of you.
Because man, like all things, is just one species.
In the long river of the cycle of life, the human body is like a corpse, just a shape symbol, the existence of a symbol of virtue.
So don't show your wisdom and strategy too much.
Because life is just a life process, just to complete the task of being a human being.
So don't try to give advice to others and do useless work.
Because life is just a life process, just to complete the task of being a human being.
Besides, others are not stupid, so what do you want to worry about him?
Experience the ever-moving, endless realm of the cycle of life and forget yourself.
Don't treat yourself as a human being, but as one of all things, as a Tao, and reach the state of selflessness.
Let the Tao materialize us into any species, and accept it calmly, without joy or sorrow.
Because the emergence of all life is only the process of completing this life.
The hearts of the noble and noble people are like a mirror, and everything is reflected in front of the mirror.
Do not deliberately welcome or deliberately exclude, accept but do not hide.
They deal with things in the same way as they look in a mirror, so they are able to keep things as they are without bothering themselves.
The above is a state of cognition, and if we reach this state and return to real life, we will be much calmer.
It's not that we have to indulge in that state and forget the reality of life we face.
The realm returns to the realm, and the real life returns to the real life.
Just like ideals and reality, ideals belong to ideals, and reality returns to reality.
Only by combining the two can we live a down-to-earth life.
At the end of Emperor Ying, he talked about "the death of chaos".
In fact, it is talking about the trouble that IQ brings to human beings, but it does not mean that we reject wisdom and IQ, which is not what it means.
Rather, it is for us to recognize the essence of things, and only when we find the essence of things can we fundamentally cure them.
As human beings, we still have to live, to complete the process of this life.
We can't avoid the process of birth, we can only accept it calmly.
When we understand life and the Tao, and change a state of mind and mentality to face life and the real situation, we will be much calmer.
Zhuangzi, Liezi and other Taoists talk about a state of mind and state of mind, not completely nothingness.
If we have this mentality, state of mind, and return to real life, what will happen to us, needless to say, it is naturally a getaway.
If we indulge in the kind of mentality and state of mind that Zhuangzi, Liezi and other Taoists talk about, and cannot return to reality, then our life will be over, and that kind of life is really boring.
In real life, we have relatives, parents, siblings, spouses, children, descendants and acquaintances around us, and we still need to have friends with these people if we want to complete the process of this life.
Therefore, if life is like a "life drama", we must be the protagonist and interpret our own life.
Instead of going with the flow and living in someone else's TV series.
We still have to return to life, and learning the Tao is just a change of mentality and state of mind, not to avoid reality.

The realm returns to the realm, and the real life returns to the real life.
Just like ideals and reality, ideals belong to ideals, and reality returns to reality.
Only by combining the two can we live a down-to-earth life.
Life is what Taoists cherish the most.
Therefore, all the articles that interpret Lao Zhuang's philosophy and put "life" aside, and enter the realm of nothingness and the spiritual realm, are nonsense.
Because people live in the real world.
At this point, the interpretation of the text of the seven articles in the Zhuangzi has also ended.
The main part of Zhuangzi's story has long since ended, and the whole book is over.
The author hopes that the above text can give readers inspiration, solve the "suffering of inverted hanging", and choose the correct outlook on life to live a healthy life.
If that's really the case, please give a reward, don't ask for more, money is something outside the body, and it's enough to reward five buckets of rice.
Helping each other is the foundation of survival.
