In Zhuangzi, the world of men, the Phoenix is like the decline of virtue! you can't wait for the afterlife, you can't pursue the past. If there is a way in the world, how can sages become? If there is no way in the world, how can sages become! At this time, how can we only be exempted from punishment! happiness is light and dry, so don't know how to carry it; disaster is more serious than the earth, so don't know how to avoid it. Already, already! We should be virtuous in the face of others. Almost, almost! stick to the old method. lost Yang, lost Yang, not hurt my line. When I walk, I will not hurt my feet. Chuang Tzu Nei Pian human world Chuang Tzu and his disciples walked to the foot of a mountain and saw a big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves standing beside the stream, which was particularly conspicuous. But you can see this tree: it's 100 feet thick, it's thousands of feet high, and it points straight to the sky; its crown is as wide as a giant umbrella, and it can cover more than ten mu of land. Chuang Tzu couldn't help asking the woodcutter: "excuse me, master, how can no one cut down such a big wood? Even for thousands of years? " The woodcutter seemed to scorn the tree and said, "why is that surprising? This tree is a useless wood. If it is used as a boat, it will sink in water; if it is used as a coffin, it will rot quickly; if it is used as a utensil, it will be easily destroyed; if it is used as a door and window, the grease will not dry; if it is used as a pillar, it will be easily eroded by insects. This wood is not made of wood. The wood without wood is useless, so it has such a long life. " After listening to these words, Chuang Tzu said to his disciples, "is it not useless for this tree to end its life because it is not made of wood, and it has its own purpose instead of inaction?" The disciple suddenly realized and nodded. Chuang Tzu also said, "trees are useless. They don't want to be successful, but they don't need to be hatched. The white headed ox, the kangman pig, and the hemorrhoids man are considered as ominous things by the wizard, so they won't be thrown into the river if they are sacrificed to the River God. The disabled man can't be enlisted, so they can live forever. If you are physically disabled, you can maintain your health and protect your life, not to mention those who are morally disabled? If a tree does not become useful, it can avoid disaster; if a man does not become talented, he can protect himself. " The more Zhuangzi said it, the more excited he was. He said summarily, "mountains and trees attack themselves; plasters fry themselves. GUI can be eaten, so cut it; lacquer can be used, so cut it. Everyone knows what is useful, but not what is useless. "
