[Voiceover] We often think that we know ourselves the most, but Professor Yu believes that the most difficult thing to know is ourselves. Why? Many Fable Stories in Zhuangzi tell us that we often impose our subjective desires on objective things because we are used to being self-righteous, so we will be able to do bad things with good intentions. We are often influenced by a variety of external evaluations in our society, but we cannot really recognize our own hearts. The results are influenced by the so-called trend. In the world of complexity, if we lose ourselves, how can we see things in the world in an all-round way like ding Jie Niu? How can we be self-aware? How can we perceive ourselves correctly without being influenced by external reviews? Let's talk about this topic today: Get to know yourself. In fact, this proposition is the most difficult one in the ages. In the mythical fable System of the West, it is expressed as a famous fan of styles. The lion's body and face beast, Stephen, asks pedestrians a question every day. Who knows what this animal is? It has four legs in the morning and two legs at noon, in the evening, what are the animals with this leg changing? People who come will not be able to answer the question and will be eaten by the lions. Later, when the young Russia passed by, he gave the final answer. He said the animal was a human. Then Stephen shouted and ran to the cliff. What is this story about? It indicates that the closest to us is often the most difficult to recognize. Throughout the process of human growth, we can constantly recognize and increase experience in the world, but it is difficult to recognize ourselves. Because of the changes in life, there are too many stages. For example, in the morning, when a child crawls his limbs, this is before his life grows, then, at a certain stage, people can stand up. In this world, there have been a lot of inner puzzles and confusions that need to be accumulated and established, in our later years, the wealth, reputation, and emotion we have accumulated have all been put to life. As we get tired, we have to use crutches and become three more legs. In this process, which stage is our most happy? Which stage is the clearest we know about ourselves? At that stage, our hearts are full of warmth and abundance? In this process, Chinese and Western cultural systems are constantly questioning on different topics. In the entire book of Chuang Tzu, this is also a real question. Chuang Tzu sometimes said that he dreamed that he was a big butterfly, but it was not clear whether the Butterfly Dream himself or he switched to a butterfly. [Voiceover] Zhuang Zhou mengbutterfly tells us why it is the most difficult thing to know ourselves, that is, from different perspectives, we can see things completely differently. If we only stand in our own perspective, when we infer all things with our own heart, a huge deviation will occur, which is also the first obstacle for us to correctly understand ourselves. There are many times when we use our own standards to deduce other animals. There are many rules that we don't know. He said that, for example, if a person is sleeping in a wet and cold place, then when you wake up, your waist hurts, and the weight falls into the lower half of the body, then he asked you if you think the same is true for Loach? The loach lives there, and it's just right. If you want it to live in the fire, you may just bake it into a dried fish. Chuang Tzu even said that liji and Maomao are all beautiful women in the world. We often describe beautiful women with a word called Shen Yu to fall into the wild geese, saying that they will fly away when they see her geese, the fish went down to the bottom of the water with shame. Chuang Tzu said that the geese were also scared away, and the fish were scared away. Do they really think this beauty is so beautiful? Maybe they think they are ugly and scared away. Therefore, this is the opinion put forward by Chuang Tzu in Qi things. Everything in the world is observed from its own perspective and always has its own password. This password cannot be broken, in this sense, Zhuangzi tells us that the most difficult thing to recognize is our own heart. The most difficult answer for a person is who you are, what you want to live, and only by knowing your own mind can you find the most basic starting point in the world, to treat others well ). I think a person who cannot really recognize himself or others will not really recognize others. Sometimes, your kindness may encounter negative news, because you are imposing it on others in your own way. Chuang Tzu told more than one such story. In the music, he said that Lu Guojun met a large sea bird and suddenly flew in, And the monarch felt respectful. [Dubbing] Guojun: This is the best music in China. Do you like it? These meats are for you. Please eat them. This is the best wine in luguo. Come and have a cup of meat. Every day, this kind of etiquette is used to worship this sea bird. The sea bird's eyes look worried, not eating meat or drinking wine, so it is so depressed that it will die in three days. [Dubbing] Guojun: Why don't you eat it? I gave you the best of everything. Why? Chuang Tzu concluded that this is to raise birds by humans, not birds by birds. It is to treat it with the kind of etiquette that people like, rather than with their own thoughts, are there few such things in our lives? In fact, do not say "yes" to friends or others. Many people are raising their children they love? [Voiceover] Chuang Tzu's fable tells us that all things in the world should be handled by nature, instead of imposing our own ideas on others. Sometimes, we often lose our good intentions, but it violates the natural objective law, that is, we do not know ourselves clearly. How can we recognize objective things? In fact, when I was a child, a traditional Chinese way of raising a child was to put a candle bag, saying that the child's legs should grow straight and then wrap the child tightly with a quilt when it was born, in addition, if the child is always sucking his fingers, and the little hand is afraid of blister or biting, the child will be given a small glove with gauze and a candle bag. But according to today's most scientific Nurturing Science, the child's hand is his second brain. If you hold his hand, although he will not break his face, he won't break his hand, but his cognitive nerves were limited from the very beginning. So now the hospital prefers to watch the child regularly, cut his nails, and never restrain him, And the candle package is now scattered. These problems can be solved scientifically, but we can think about how many parents have given a spiritual candle pack to a child during his life's growth, which is always based on the standard of the adult world, tell him that if you want your legs to grow straight, you must bind them up. If you want to become famous in the future, you must play the piano when you are three years old, you have to learn fine arts when you are 4 years old. You have to dance ballet when you are 5 years old. If not, what do you want to compete with others when you are six years old in elementary school, when you go to school at the age of six, you must report to an Olympics class more than others. In this way, you can compete in the society as we do. Then you can go to college and enter the adult world, such a competition rule. Are these methods a way to put meat and wine on a bird? In fact, Zhuangzi's fable is a mirror of today. Sometimes we don't raise his dearest child in his own way, nor give it back to him in his happy time, however, deprivation is performed by an adult standard. This kind of kindness may sometimes lead to unexpected consequences, which is like a fable written by Chuang Tzu in Emperor Ying. He said that the land of the South China Sea is called the region, and the land of the North Sea is called the "suddenly". It is also as vast as the two places he wrote, and if they want to meet, we often see each other in the central place. The emperor in the middle is called chaos. What is chaos? It turns into an unopened big ball. Chaos is always welcome to send, good food and good reception with fail and fail, chaos and chaos look at this chaos, they feel very guilty, feel that he can not enjoy any of the world's best, so the hacker and the hacker reported chaos. The two men planned together to report their kindness. They said that they both had their own skills, and they had their own skills. They could eat, drink, listen, and watch, the joys, sorrows, sorrows, and sorrows of the world can all be eye-catching. What should we do if there is no chaos? Let's open it for him. After seven days, what is the result? It was a 7-day success, and chaos died, and chaos lost his true nature when it was really drilled down. The reason why he was able to live was his "Chaotic" state, he can look at the world, and when you separate the bodies, he is far away from his own body of life. Is this fable just a fable? The so-called socialization of people refers to the process of our growth. When we become a successful person under a social standard, we become enlightened by the society, but how far is it from our heart and chaos? (Do not stay away from your own heart because of secular standards. Yu Dan Xinyu) We seldom ask this proposition in our hearts, because we are too far away from ourselves. We can see a lot of physical attributes at a glance, but we cannot see it clearly for ourselves. The efficiency of many things in the world lies in its science. That is to say, it is the highest efficiency to cater to physical properties in an accurate way, are these fables described by Chuang Tzu really far away from us? Are we actually listening to stories? There are many stories that may be very close to us. I have also seen such a story, saying that there was a little e who grew up with a group of chickens. The master put it in the group and raised it together, it always thinks that he is a chicken, so when the host really wants to put the e, how to beat it, how to scold it, how to give it food, and how to seduce it, it thought it was a chicken that could not fly. In the end, the master was too disappointed. He said that I had a young e and it was useless at all. I threw it away. Take the e to the side of the cliff, and drop down vertically under the cliff like a chicken child. [Voiceover] What kind of fate does an e fall under a cliff encounter? Can an e who grew up with a chicken restore its e nature? What kind of life principles does such a story reveal to us? (Repeat the above, slightly) in the process of falling down, the e flat at the wings and suddenly flew up without falling to the ground. Why? The reason is that in a high-altitude gap like a cliff fall, its nature is restored, because it knows that its wings are useful, and in the past when you raised it, it has always been fed together with a group of chickens and never used its wings. In fact, when we grow up, we must have some potential that has never been developed (Yu danxinyu ). That is to say, you have never met a profession you really love. Instead of making a living with your mind, you have never been inspired in this profession, you are not enjoying the joy of being promoted, so some skills will always be invisible. For example, there is some love in this world. If you don't meet the person you really love, the power of love may be hidden for a lifetime, even though he has a family with others, being a child-bearing girl leads a life in the eyes of ordinary people, but his life has never burned, because he has not met the person. In fact, let's think about every great fable in our life. We have missed ourselves many times. This is a proposition we need to constantly ask ourselves, have we really found the opportunity to be developed? So how can we find the opportunity? Chuang Tzu also taught us a kind of ability to know yourself, summed up into two words, called "Xinzhai ". With great care, I would like to go to the neighborhood and look at myself. In this case, Chuang Tzu gave away a piece of Confucius. Yan Hui, a Confucius student, told him that I wanted to go out to do things. I wanted to go to Wei Guo to stop the violent monarch. His teacher dismissed him and said that you should not go. After you go, if you don't advise a violent person, he will be killed. Yan Hui said that I always want to go out to do things. The teacher said that you are still too hairy now. You have not seen yourself yet. Nothing can happen if you go out to do things. You should first go to fasting. Yan Hui asked his teacher, saying that our family is poor. I have never eaten meat for many years. I have been living this bitter day all the time. Isn't it fasting? The teacher smiled and said that this is not a fasting, not a fasting in the external sacrifice, but a fasting in the heart. Then Yan Hui said what is the fasting of the heart, Confucius told him: Listening to the ears, but listening to the heart; not listening to the heart, but listening to the gas. (Chuang Tzu? Man on Earth) Use your breath to feel everything, return to your heart, and get self-confirmation. Although this passage is based on Confucius, it is from Zhuangzi. In Zhuangzi's "man on Earth", the passage he wrote tells us that each of us has a way to know ourselves. In fact, each person's eyes have two capabilities: outward and inward viewing. outward, we can discover a vast world, and inward, we can discover a very deep heart, it can be said that the external world is big, and the inner depth is deep, which is totally proportional. It is a pity that our life has been used for external discovery, and we never see what our hearts desire. In many cases, it is because there are too many things we have arranged in the process of growing up, such as reading from an early age, growing up career, and families in the future, too many things have been arranged, so they do not have their own pursuits, no attempts, or even no setbacks, so they cannot really confirm their aspirations. There is a story about a fisherman, who is too skilled in fishing. within several thousand miles, he is called a fisherman or even a fish god. He has three sons. These three sons went abroad with him from an early age, but these three children have the same fishing skills, not to mention their father. So his father was particularly frustrated and said, "Why are all three children inferior to me? Later, a philosopher called him. He asked the fisherman: When did the three of you start fishing? His father said it was very early that they had grown up on the ship since childhood and they had not left the fishing boat. Then I asked him, "Did your child learn your skills from you? Yu Wang said that I taught them by hand from an early age, and I didn't know anything about the loss. I always taught every son my highest decision without reservation. Then this person asked the third question: where are their fishing practices? Yu Wang said, of course, they are on my ship. Because I checked them out, they could not lose. I always told them which kind of sign would have a big fish and how to get the best result from the Internet. After asking these three questions, the philosopher told him that the sorrow of the three children is that they have been arranged by you, and they have gained your experience throughout their life, but what they lack in their life is the lesson of fishing. They say that they have never left you for an internship, and they do not know what experience they have learned from their ups and downs, what they get is the lessons you have learned throughout your life, but for them, they are mediocre dogmas. In fact, this story also applies to everyone's heart. Are the indirect experiences we get really valuable? Today, we have a saying that we need to avoid detours. In a sense, there is no detour in life. If you don't walk through that section, how can you reach the present, if you don't stand here, how can you go back and say it's a detour? In fact, every path must be measured in your own footsteps (Yu Dan Xinyu). In this process, we can discover ourselves and get confirmation. Chuang Tzu always keeps a clear view of himself, from the physical state of life to the realm of life in the spiritual sense. He always keeps a clear eye, that is to say, a person must keep a pair of soul eyes out of his own structure. No one else can do this, even though someone will always remind you of your gains and losses, your right and wrong, however, we often lose our hearts by blindly following the opinions of others. If you keep eyes with such a pair of souls and always examine yourself, then you can be flattered and grasp your true desires. In Zhuangzi's "Health Care master", there is a story that everyone is very familiar with, called Ding jieniu. We have the right to regard our own life as the bull in the hand of Ding ding. Can we really solve it today? How did Ding solve the problem? He performed in front of the King. During the performance, his arm was reached, his knees leaning against him, and the whole body of a person moved like a dance to dissect a cow. Throughout the process, I felt that he was in the knife posture and his rhythm. In line with many ancient movements, he joined the sanlin dance and the music of the beginning. This was simply a performance, it is a behavior art, and the knife that he holds is capable of jingling and fully keeping in touch with the music beats. It is very calm and beautiful. After the other ox is cracked, for example, the bones are clear and all beef is peeled off. Why can you do this? Ding ding's explanation: He said, the good man of the Minister cares about the Tao, and he entered the technology "Chuang Tzu? Health care master. He said that if a person has a better eye, we can deduce it from the Tao, not just by skill, but three years later I will not see the whole ox. In my eyes, it is its skeleton. It is through thick cowhide and Ox hair. I can see the trend of skeletal muscle. At this time, I can use a knife to accurately enter the gap of its skeleton, instead of making a hard touch, I will get an efficiency, and I will be able to make it easy for me, such as the mud. Therefore, Ding said that ding is different from Ding ding, and everyone is a butcher. But you see: Liang Yi is better at cutting his knife, and Yi Yue is more powerful, discount is also "Chuang Tzu? Health care master. A good butcher, he had changed a knife for a whole year, because he cut meat there, he was between bones, at most he cut the ribs, he met soft things, the family's monthly payment is even more powerful. He said that a butcher with less technical skills had to change a new knife for a month. Why, because he cut down the bones there? If he cut the bones, the knife would naturally break down. I am very proud to say that I have used this knife for 19 years and it is just like a new one. Why? He made a mysterious remark by himself, that is, "yundun". He said that my knife is thin, not thick, and there is a gap between bones, I entered the gap accurately with a thick knife. How can I wear out? So a knife in your hand for 19 years is still like a new one. We use this story in today's life. If we all make such a ding, let our soul have such a knife that can always be sharp, let us get lost in the world of life into a whole cow, so that we can always see those gaps, can accurately clear it, without the need to cut the bones, to back the burden, you don't have to make a tragic gesture in the sigh of relief every day, so that life falls into a lot of value, so what we get is the efficiency of life. [Voiceover] correct and comprehensive recognition of things in the world, like ding jieniu, is another important condition for us to clearly understand ourselves, but Professor Yu believes that, the most important thing for us to correctly understand ourselves is that we need to be self-aware, so how can we do it to be self-aware, and how can we not be influenced by external reviews, how can I correctly recognize my own abilities? Chuang Tzu told us that as long as you have a great realm in your mind, you can see the true texture in your behavior, that is, the greatest truths, great words, great benevolence, great honesty, and great courage in your heart, all things are restrained and unpublicized. This kind of restrained heart is called "Tianfu" by Chuang Tzu. A person's heart is like Tianfu, containing everything in Heaven and Earth. What is in Tianfu? There are two other words: "". He said that this is something, that is, you keep your heart in a great light. This kind of light changes in all things in Heaven and Earth, for example, when the sea is rising, its water level does not rise, and everyone is pouring water from here, its water level does not drop, you do not know where its source is, but it is inexhaustible, the endless use of all things is a kind of inner light. That is to say, from knowing yourself to discovering and listening to yourself, to cultivating yourself, this is a journey. Every person has a Tianfu, and can have the ability to see the light. At this time, people will not talk about what they are doing. We all know that Bian Que, a famous medical doctor, is called as a representative of a famous Chinese medical doctor. But once Wei Wang asked Bian Que, saying that I heard that your three brothers are good at medical skill, tell me who among the three of you has the best medical skills. Bian Que honestly said that my eldest brother has the highest medical skill, and my second brother has the worst medical skill among the three of us. Wei Wang said, Why are you famous all over the world, and the two of them are unknown? Bian Que said that because my eldest brother has always been able to prevent people from getting sick, this person has not shown any signs of illness. He has removed the root of his illness and shovel the root of his illness. This person is just like not getting sick, so no one knows that he is really removing the patient's preference; then he said that my second brother, the disease that can be cured is just starting at the very beginning of the disease, he squashed the disease with medical medicine. Therefore, we always think that he can cure minor illness. I don't know if this disease is brewing, it will be a terrible serious illness. Therefore, his reputation for treating minor illness will be spread in his hometown, he said, why do I say my technology is the worst? It is because I can only try again when my life is dying. What I can do is to break the pus and blood, perform an operation, apply the medicine, and it seems like I 've done all these things, as a result, I got back to life, so my reputation spread all over the world. But you actually look at the stages of the three of us, preventing the most serious problems before, but the world is not named; when the disease first begins, it is taken away from the disease, and is considered to be a minor illness, and the name is transferred to the hometown; it was only at this time that people were able to save their lives. How to save them all had sequelae. This person was damaged, but I was famous. What does this mean to us? It is a secular criterion that may not really evaluate a person's quality. We can only make accurate answers to our own assessments (Yu Dan ). There is a saying in Chinese people that a master lives with a monkey and a donkey, and the monkey is very clever, and it always jumps in the room, the host said that my monkey was too intelligent. Later, the donkey watched it as praised and struggled. One day, he finally stepped on the roof with a huge chunk, as a result, the owner's tile was broken as soon as it was on the roof. As a result, the owner dragged it down and beat it up. This Donkey always thought that I had finally done the monkey thing, why is it praised, and I want to beat it? Why? In fact, this situation has happened to many people, that is, we have imitated others' behaviors too much. We deliberately emphasized the standard of social movement, the so-called fashion, and the so-called fashion, there is a trend that leads us to lose our hearts and converge on unified standards. Such things are everywhere. Chuang Tzu has been reminding us, how can we not be vulgar? First of all, recognize your inner desires. Are you truly offering yourself in the form of your own life? Today, we can say that in an era where the media is fully developed, the standard of popularity is terrible, and fashion is a kind of force. This is like everyone will be disturbed by advertisements, to determine the direction of your own shopping, pop is a brainwashing. Pop tells you that it may not be good, but you must be in the crowd. We often have a mixed concept, fashion is fashion, but sometimes fashion is a taste of a few people. Sometimes fashion is like flu, it only indicates a quantity, it does not represent a high level of quality. In today's era, it may be more eye-catching than in the period of Zhuangzi, and more important to reflect on the inside, but also to get rid of external standards and evaluate your own abilities, and the ability to evaluate others, only by establishing this, with their own bright and rational, and then to treat others, to treat friends, to treat children, can we do not impose but truly respect. For the Value Orientation of each person, let him make the best use of his own life style for every age. Only by answering Who You Are can you answer the second question what you want most, and the third question can you answer how to respect others and coordinate society in your own way. I want to explain the mysteries of the story in the context of Chuang Tzu, if we look at it and stand at the moment. We all have a pair of soul eyes and a blade of Ding ding. We can see the world's right and wrong, and finally get a clear and rational, and complete our unique life.
