庄子：让你思想回归清静快乐的导师

If you want to keep your heart quiet and happy, you can read Chuang Tzu and return to the natural state of mind.

-----Zhuge Changqing

Life needs tutors.

With a mentor, your life path will become pure, relaxed, and leisurely.

Confucius, Mencius, Gui Guzi, Laozi, Chuang Tzu, Sakyamuni Buddha, etc. are all good teachers.

Zhuge Changqing today recommends a tutor: Chuang Tzu.

The idioms we say in daily life, such as "a long journey, a long way to go, a new way to breathe out the old, a dream of a butterfly, a good beginning and a good ending", all come from the tutor's thoughts and words.

In the book version of Chuang Tzu, we recommend you to read the book "Chuang Tzu's Notes to the Present" written by Professor Chen Guying of Peking University.

Zhuge Changqing believes that Professor Chen Guying is a master of Chuang Tzu's thought in China, and his explanation is very thorough.

Who is Chuang Tzu?

Zhuang Zi, surnamed Zhuang, surnamed Zhou, is a Mongolian of the Song State during the Eastern Zhou and Warring States Period. Zhuang Zhou is the official descendant of the Song State. The ancestor can be traced back to the 11th generation of the monarch of the Song State, Duke Dai of Song. Duke Dai of Song is the ancestor of Zhuang surname.

Zhuang Zhou was born in "Mongolia" of the Song Dynasty. There are many theories about the modern geographical location of "Mongolia", including Shangqiu in Henan, Mengcheng in Anhui, Dongming in Shandong, etc.

Zhuangzi is a famous thinker, philosopher and writer in the Eastern Zhou and the Warring States period. Zhuang Xue, an important philosophical school in China, was founded. He was the representative of Taoism in the Warring States Period after Laozi and one of the main representatives of Taoism. His ideological work is Zhuangzi.

Just as people call Confucius and Mencius thought Confucius and Mencius thought, people are used to call Laozi and Zhuangzi thought together Laozi and Zhuangzi thought.

Zhuang Zhou was not appointed by King Wei of Chu because he advocated freedom and studied traditional Chinese culture. He was only a local lacqueryard official in the Song Dynasty. He was known as the "proud lacqueryard official" in history and was known as the model of local officials.

Zhuang Zhou and King Hui of Liang and King Xuan of Qi were contemporaries, and they were good friends with Prime Minister Huishi of Wei It can be seen that taking advantage of Chuang Tzu's talent and learning to achieve high wealth is like taking things out of his pocket. However, Chuang Tzu has no intention of becoming an official. He has only been a petty official in charge of the lacquer garden for a short time.

Zhuge Changqing believed that Chuang Tzu abandoned his position and wealth for the main purpose of concentrating on the study and writing of the wisdom of traditional Chinese culture. He has devoted his life to the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture, which deserves our admiration and respect.

We are grateful for the wisdom and wealth left by Chuang Tzu for mankind. Great, Chuang Tzu!!

Chuang Tzu understood the theory of Yi and pointed out that "Yi" is based on Yin and Yang; Zhuangzi's thought of "three sounds" is consistent with the way of three talents in the Book of Changes. His representative works are "Chuang Tzu", among which the famous works are "Happy Journey", "Qi Wu Lun" and so on. It is known as Laozi and Laozi.

Chuang Tzu's imagination is extremely rich, his language is flexible and flexible, and he can make some subtle and unspeakable philosophies fascinating. His works are called "philosophy of literature, philosophy of literature". It is said that he also lived in seclusion in Nanhua Mountain. Therefore, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, at the beginning of Tianbao, ordered Zhuang Zhou to be the real man of Nanhua, and called his book "Chuang Tzu" as "Nanhua Scripture".

Everyday, you will see the four words "real person in South China".

Who is the real person in South China---- This is the real name of Chuang Tzu granted by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.

Chuang Tzu is knowledgeable, has traveled to many countries, and has studied various schools of thought at that time. Zhuang Zhou's talent and learning should not be underestimated, but its essence is attributed to Laozi's words. Therefore, his books are more than 100000 words, most of which are fables. Chuang Tzu was not appointed by King Wei of Chu because he advocated freedom. Later, he hated the official career, lived in seclusion and wrote books, and became one of the representatives of the pre-Qin Taoist school. He was honored as the founder of Taoism, Nanhua Immortal, and one of the four Immortals of Taoism.

At that time, when the vassals fought for supremacy, Chuang Tzu resigned and lived in seclusion, devoting himself to studying Taoism. He greatly inherited and developed Laodan's thought and was called "the ancestor of Taoism" with Laozi. He led "noble life" and "for me" to "noble life" and "selfless", and summed it up as the natural "Tao" and "I".

Zhuang Zhou wrote a book of more than 100000 words in his life, the title of which is Zhuang Zi.

The emergence of this document marks that in the Warring States period, China's philosophy and literary language have developed to a very profound and profound level, and it is a treasure in ancient Chinese classics. Therefore, Zhuangzi is not only a famous thinker in the history of Chinese philosophy, but also an outstanding writer in the history of Chinese literature. In terms of philosophy and literary language, he has given profound and tremendous influence to Chinese thinkers and writers of all ages, and has a very important position in the history of Chinese thought and literature.

According to the Records of the Historian, Zhuang Zhou "saw everything about his studies, but the main source was Lao Tzu's words, so he wrote more than 100000 books, which was almost allegory". The fables of Zhuang Zhou Xito have a broad meaning, and the famous fables such as "imitating frowns in the east" and "learning to walk in Handan" are from his works. He inherited and developed Laozi's viewpoint of "Tao follows nature" in philosophy, making Taoism truly a school, and he also became an important representative of Taoism.

In philosophy, Chuang Tzu inherited and developed Lao Tzu's thought, believing that "Tao" is an objective and real existence, and taking "Tao" as the origin of all things in the universe. He said, "The truth of the Tao is to cultivate one's morality. The rest of the Tao is the country, and the earth is the world." (Zhuangzi · Wang Rang Chapter) It means that the essence and essence of the Tao is used to cultivate one's morality, the rest of the Tao is used to govern the country, and the dross is used to educate the world. He also said, "No man can destroy the sky, no reason can destroy the life, no reason can kill the name, and be careful not to lose." ("Chuang Tzu · Autumn Water") means that you should not destroy the nature for the sake of man, do not destroy your life for the sake of worldly wisdom, do not sacrifice yourself for fame and wealth for the sake of greed, and keep the way of heaven without losing, which is to return to the nature.

He inherited and developed Lao Tzu's view of "Tao follows nature", and believed that "Tao" is infinite, "rooted in its roots" and "omnipresent". He emphasized the self-generation and self-transformation of things and denied the domination of God. He proposed that "one breath and one ear to the world" and "the gathering of people's anger means life, and the dispersing means death."

His thought contains simple dialectic factors. He believes that "Tao" is "born in nature", from the beginning of "Tao" (that is, "Tao" is limitless). He saw that everything was in a state of "motionless and unchangeable, and constantly moving", but he ignored the stability and difference of matter, and believed that "the world is no greater than the end of the autumn, while Mount Tai is small; Mo Shou is the son of Shang, and Peng Zu is the son of Yao".

He believed that there was only unconditional identity between heaven and man, between things and me, between life and death, and even all things, that is, absolute "unity"; He advocates the unity of things and me, of right and wrong, of life and death, and of dignity and inferiority. He imagines a subjective spiritual state of "heaven and earth live side by side with me, and everything is one with me". He is in peace and contentment, and the final destination of learning "Tao" is to eliminate all differences, and go from "waiting" to "no waiting". In the method of thinking, relativism is absolutized and turned to mysterious sophism.

Chuang Tzu "wrote more than one hundred thousand words, which is almost allegorical." There are thirty-three existing Chuang Tzu, of which seven are internal, fifteen are external, and eleven are miscellaneous. The characters are beautiful, imaginative, ups and downs, witty, and good at reasoning through allegorical stories. Zhuangzi not only reflects Zhuang Zhou's philosophy, but also shows his outstanding literary talent.

Chuang Tzu believed that people should be broad-minded and calm in the world. For example, "if they swim in Yi's sufficient (g ò u), the central one will hit the ground; however, if they do not hit the ground, they will also be killed" ("Internal Part · Dechong Fu"), Yi, "the ancient one who is good at shooting, and the people who fight against each other will be killed by Yi", can refer to the gain and loss of profits and losses, "so those who are free from the harm of bows and arrows, think they are skillful, and are glad to have more than themselves, and even if they cannot avoid it, they will hate their fallacies and will hurt the gods and humiliate them, and they will not reach their fate", In the middle and not in the middle, "know what can't be done and be content with life, only those who are virtuous can do it" ("Inner Chapter · De Chong Fu").

Chuang Tzu - Health Preserver: "My life has its limits, and knowledge has no limits. With the limit, there is no limit. It is dangerous!" So he advocated "to protect the whole life".

Zhuge Changqing shared Chuang Tzu's words with you----

Heaven and earth point to each other.

Heaven and earth live side by side with me, and everything is one with me.

The sage's law is precious and true.

The hills and hills are low and high, and the rivers and rivers are large.

The heart of a person is like a mirror. If he does not meet, he should not hide. Therefore, he can win things without hurting them.

Zhuge Changqing believes that reading Chuang Tzu's ideological works will make you return to inner purity, return to nature and approach the way of nature.

"Work at sunrise, rest at sunset, and relax between heaven and earth".

Chuang Tzu, the great teacher, has never left us. He is right beside us.

如果想让自己内心清静快乐，可以读一读《庄子》，回归自然心态。

----- 诸葛长青

  人生需要导师。

  有了导师，你人生道路就变得内心清净、轻松自在，就会从容不迫。

  孔子、孟子、鬼谷子、老子、庄子、释迦牟尼佛等都是很好的导师。

  诸葛长青今天给大家推荐一位导师：庄子。

  我们日常所说的鹏程万里、吐故纳新、庄周梦蝶、善始善终等成语都来自这位导师的思想文字。

  在《庄子》书籍版本上，推荐大家看北京大学陈鼓应教授写的《庄子今注今译》。

  诸葛长青认为，陈鼓应教授是我国研究庄子思想的大家，讲解非常通透。

  庄子是谁？

  庄子，姓庄，名周，东周战国时期的宋国蒙人，庄周是宋国的公室后代，先祖可以追溯到宋国的第十一代国君宋戴公，宋戴公为庄姓始祖。

  庄周出生于宋国“蒙”。关于“蒙”的现代地理位置有多种说法，包括河南商丘说、安徽蒙城说、山东东明说等。

  庄子是东周战国中期著名的思想家、哲学家和文学家。创立了华夏重要的哲学学派----庄学，是继老子之后，战国时期道家学派的代表人物，是道家学派的主要代表人物之一。他的思想著作是《庄子》。

  就像人们称呼孔子、孟子思想为--孔孟思想一样，人们习惯把老子、庄子思想连起来称呼为---老庄思想。

  庄周因崇尚自由、研究国学传统文化而不应楚威王之聘，生平只做过宋国地方的漆园吏，史称“漆园傲吏”，被誉为地方官吏之楷模。

  庄周与梁惠王、齐宣王是同时期人，和魏国宰相惠施是好朋友......可以看出，以庄子之才学取财富高位，犹如探囊取物，然庄周无意仕进，只在不长的时间里做过管漆园的小官。

  诸葛长青认为，庄子舍弃官位、财富，主要目的是集中精力研究撰写国学智慧，他为了中国传统文化传承付出了一生的精力，值得我们赞叹致敬。

  我们感恩庄子为人类留下的智慧财富。伟哉，庄子！！

  庄子洞悉易理，深刻指出“《易》以道阴阳”；庄子“三籁”思想与《易经》三才之道相合。他的代表作品为《庄子》，其中的名篇有《逍遥游》、《齐物论》等。与老子齐名，被称为老庄。

  庄子的想象力极为丰富，语言运用自如，灵活多变，能把一些微妙难言的哲理说得引人入胜。他的作品被人称之为“文学的哲学，哲学的文学”。据传，又尝隐居南华山，故唐玄宗天宝初，诏封庄周为南华真人，称其著书《庄子》为《南华真经》。 

  大家日常会看到“南华真人”四个字。

  南华真人是谁？----这是唐玄宗敕封庄子的真人名号。   

  庄子的学问渊博，游历过很多国家，对当时的各学派都有研究。庄周的才学不可小视，然而其要本归于老子之言。故其著书十余万字，大多都是寓言。庄子因崇尚自由而不应楚威王之聘。后厌恶仕途，隐居著书，成为先秦道家学派的代表人物之一。被后世尊称为道教祖师、南华真人、道教四大真人之一。

  当时诸侯混战，争霸天下，庄子便辞官隐居，潜心研究道学。他大大继承和发展了老聃的思想，与老子并称“道家之祖”。他把“贵生”、“为我”引向“达生”、“忘我”，归结为天然的“道”、“我”合一。

  庄周一生著书十余万言，书名《庄子》。

  这部文献的出现，标志着在战国时代，中国的哲学思想和文学语言，已经发展到非常玄远、高深的水平，是中国古代典籍中的瑰宝。因此，庄子不但是中国哲学史上一位著名的思想家，同时也是中国文学史上一位杰出的文学家。无论在哲学思想方面，还是文学语言方面，他都给予了中国历代的思想家和文学家以深刻的，巨大的影响，在中国思想史、文学史上都有极重要的地位。

  据《史记》记载，庄周“其学无所不窥，然其要本归于老子之言，故其著书十万余言，大抵率寓言也”。庄周喜托寓言以广其意，“东施效颦”、“邯郸学步”等著名寓言就出自他的著作。他在哲学思想上继承和发展了老子“道法自然”的观点，使道家真正成为一个学派，他也成为了道家的重要代表人物。

  庄子在哲学上，继承发展了老子的思想，认为“道”是客观真实的存在，把“道”视为宇宙万物的本源。他说：“道之真以修身，其绪余以为国家，其土苴以为天下。”（《庄子·让王篇》）意思是，大道的真髓、精华用以修身，它的余绪用以治理国家，它的糟粕用以教化天下。又说：“无以人灭天，无以故灭命，无以得殉名，谨守而勿失，是谓友其真。”（《庄子·秋水篇》）意思是，不要为了人工而毁灭天然，不要为了世故去毁灭性命，不要为了贪得去身殉名利，谨守天道而不离失，这就是返璞归真。

  他继承和发展老子“道法自然”的观点，认为“道”是无限的、“自本子根”、“无所不在”的，强调事物的自生自化，否认有神的主宰。提出“通天下一气耳”和“人之生气之聚也，聚则为生，散则为死。”

  他的思想包含着朴素辨证法因素。他认为“道”是“先天生地”的，从“道未始”（即“道”是无界限差别的）。他看到一切事物都处在“无动而不变，无时而不移”中，却忽视了事物质的稳定性和差别性，认为“天下莫大于秋毫之末，而泰山为小；莫寿乎殇子，而彭祖为夭”。

  他认为，天人之间、物我之间、生死之间以至万物，只存在着无条件的同一，即绝对的“齐”；主张齐物我、齐是非、齐生死、齐贵贱，幻想一种“天地与我并生，万物与我为一”的主观精神境界，安时处顺，逍遥自得，而学“道”的最后归宿，也唯有泯除一切差异，从“有待”进入“无待”。在思辩方法上，把相对主义绝对化，转向神秘的诡辩主义。

  庄子“著书十余万言，大抵率寓言也”，现存的《庄子》有三十三篇，其中内篇七，外篇十五，杂篇十一，文字雄美，想象丰富，跌宕起伏，妙趣横生，善于通过寓言故事来说理。《庄子》一书不但反映了庄周的哲学思想，而且显示了他卓越的文学才华。

  庄子认为人活在世上须旷达处之泰然，如“游于羿之彀（gòu）中，中央者，中地也；然而不中者，命也”（《内篇·德充符》），羿,“古之善射者，夫利害相攻则天下皆羿也”，彀指利害得失，“故免乎弓矢之害者，自以为巧，欣然多己，及至不免，则自恨其谬而志伤神辱，斯未能达命之情者也”，中与不中而“知不可奈何而安之若命，唯有德者能之”（《内篇·德充符》）。

  《庄子·养生主》：“吾生也有涯，而知也无涯，以有涯随无涯，殆（危险）已！”从而他主张“保身全生”。

   诸葛长青把庄子几句话分享大家----

  天地一指，万物一马。

  天地与我并生，万物与我合一。

  圣人法天贵真，不拘于俗。

   丘山积卑而为高，江河合水而为大。

  至人之用心若镜，不将不迎，应而不藏，故能胜物而不伤。

   诸葛长青认为，读一读庄子思想著作，会让大家回归内心清净，回归自然，接近自然之道。

  “日出而作，日入而息，逍遥于天地之间”。

   庄子，大导师也，他从来没有离开我们，他就在我们身边。
