[Voiceover] Zhuangzi uses many fable stories to tell us that the size of a realm can fully determine the usefulness and usefulness of a thing. It can also completely change the fate of a person. In real life, people often judge things from a secular perspective. Only by standing in a higher realm and knowing how to observe things around them in reverse thinking can we get a successful life. Professor Yu believes that in modern life, the fable of Zhuangzi is a good reminder of the pursuit of quick success and quick benefits. All disputes over prosperity and wealth are meaningless. When you have a big realm, you can understand what is "born with my talent is useful" to have a happy life. So how can we reach this level? How can we get a happy life? Please listen to Professor Yu Dan from Beijing Normal University and talk about his experience in "realm of size". In Chuang Tzu's Xiaoyao game, there is a core proposition: What is big and what is small. Xiaoyao actually expands our imagination infinitely, telling us that the world is far beyond our imagination, and that the world is far beyond our imagination. Because the real size and size are not only in the eyes, but also in the human mind. So big and small, it is never simply a realm of Literary Description. More often, it shows many practical rules in life, that is, people's life, in your lifetime, the application of the big environment is completely different, and it will bring you different effects and different life. As we all know, Hui Shi and Chuang Tzu are good friends, so there are many conversations between Hui Zi and Chuang Tzu. According to Zhuangzi, Huizi asked him one day, saying that you saw Wei Wang gave me a gourd seed, and I planted such a gourd at home. As a result, there was a huge gourd, with five stones. So big gourd looks very rich and full, I finally worried, because he is too big to use anything. He said that if I split the gourd into half and use it to hold water, the gourd skin would be too thin. So it is called that it cannot be self-initiated. If it is filled with water, it will be broken. Using it to store rice noodles and food, nothing can be done, because the skin is thin and the volume is too large. So I want to talk about what kind of Hulu is for. Isn't it just to finally become a container and split it into a container to decorate it? I couldn't install anything, so Huizi said: [dubbing] "although this gourd is big, it is useless. I will break it down ". As soon as he thought about it, he began to tell stories to him. Chuang Tzu did not talk about what the gourd was doing, but told me to tell you that song has such a family. Their family has a rare treasure, that is, they have a secret recipe. This secret recipe can be used in the cold winter to make people stick their hands and feet with water. Their family has medicines that don't have enough hands, so the generation of the world has to rinse for a living. One day, a passer-by occasionally heard that their family had this secret recipe. Discuss with him, I bought this secret recipe with a hundred dollars. The whole family will have a meeting in the evening. The secret recipe of our family has been around for a long time. But the whole family needs to rinse like this for a living. We have never seen a hundred RMB. If people spend so much money, don't buy a party. Why don't you give it to him? Let's sell it. So after taking a hundred yuan, I am too satisfied. How much effort does it save. What is the path of a person who takes the secret recipe? At that time, during the Warring States Period, various places were in the fight of princes to fight for the ground. Then, in the southeast, Wu Yue will compete. Wu Yue's place, we know it's near the water town. This person took the secret recipe from Song Guo and went straight to Wu Guo to talk to Wu Wang. If you choose to launch a water war to the Vietnamese in the cold winter of lunar December, you have this secret recipe. You can take the blade with no sore in your hands. If you do not have this secret recipe, you can try it. Wu Wang listened to his suggestion and started a water war with a secret recipe. The victory of Wu Guo during the first battle. So this person provides the secret recipe. Split sealing, immediately worth a different value. If you think about it, it can bring different life effects to different people. What if you have an eye? You will see the same secret recipe, but it will add value, it may decide the fate of a country. As a result, it will bring about a change that provides the secret recipe for the person himself. Well, Chuang Tzu told him that the same is true for a huge gourd. How do you think it has to be split into a zombie? If it is a complete big gourd, why don't you need a net to tie it to your waist and use it as a swimming ring? So you can go to the river! With a huge gourd, You can freely go wandering. Is it useful that a thing must be processed into a product defined in certain regulations? [Voiceover] Why do the same things have different values in different people's hands. Zhuangzi's fable tells us that the size of a person's realm determines his way of thinking. People often use secular eyes to strictly judge the value of things. Only people in the big realm can see the true value of things. Professor Yu believes that the size of the horizon can change the fate of a person. Even in modern life, such examples are everywhere. I once saw a translated book called "hidden wealth". The story is a story written by Montgomery. He said a brother came to New York, where the land reclamation was in 1845. This brother and I came here and thought it was hard to continue. Let's discuss how we can survive? As a foreign immigrant, two German-born young men, old brother had a skill, that is, they did a good job of kimchi in Germany. This younger brother is too young to do anything. So his brother said that in a bustling city like New York, it was too difficult for us to survive as a foreigner. I went away, and I went to a country to go to California. I went on to make my kimchi. His younger brother wants to say that I have no skills, and I will stay here with my foot. I am working during the day and I will study at night. I always want to learn something. What did he learn? After staying in New York, he went to study geology and metallurgy. His brother has arrived in a wealthy country in California. I stayed and saw a very cheap land. I bought it and started planting cabbage here -- the cabbage we said. Planted a local cabbage, just for the last pickles. This brother worked very hard. He thinks that he has a skill and he is growing vegetables every day. Four years later, my brother graduated from college and came to California to visit his brother. His brother said, "What do you have now ?" His younger brother said that I had nothing but a diploma. His brother said, you should work with me in a down-to-earth manner. Let me show you the garden I planted. Then he brought his younger brother to the garden of the boundless cabbage. He said you should see what I did. His younger brother squatted down and looked at the food. Then he pulled the soil under the Food and watched it for a long time. When he entered the room, there was a basin filled with water, place the earth in one hand and rinse it. Then he looked up at his brother with great surprise. He said that I want to test your land now. It was because he found some golden Metal chips shining under his face. After he used all his metallurgical and mining knowledge for identification. He sighed and said, Brother, do you know? You planted cabbage on a gold mine. In fact, there are too many times when we enjoy the order that life brings us. We get up in the morning, work in the daytime, and go to bed. We want to have a skill in our hands. I can support my family, and I can have a good time. We have never jumped out of our existing experience system. Can I change my perspective again ?. Is there any possibility of using these skills that I have? That is to say, Chuang Tzu raised an eternal question in Xiaoyao game: what is useful. As a parent, we often tell our children that it is useless for you to watch the butterfly on the windowsill for an afternoon. This afternoon is useful if you practice the piano. We may tell our children that it is useless for you to build a castle with mud this afternoon. It would be useful if you practiced typing this afternoon. Actually, I have seen a scientific experiment. It is to put a jumping bug in the bottle. It can jump very high, and let it jump after the lid is covered. It's a hop! It fell down. Pop! The next hop fell down. Let's see it jump over and over again, and wait until it jumps down. You unscrew the lid, and you see the worm is still jumping. But it will never jump out of the bottle. Because it believes that the lid on the top of the head will be insurmountable. When did you open the lid? It has no idea whether it is possible to surpass it. There is a sad phenomenon in our education today, that is, our parents define too many useful covers for their children with their full love. Let the children think that, as a gourd, it can only become a zombie in the future and cannot be a huge swimming ring with people floating in the river. As a soil, it can be planted with vegetables or food, however, no one asked in depth about potential deposits under the soil. What is all of this? That is, we have bound our minds with a conventional thinking, and our attitude towards life determines our poor limitations. Such limitations can be broken. Only by breaking this limitation can we look forward to a true happy world tour. In fact, there is no such thing as happiness. [Yu Dan Xinyu] the true joy of life is nothing. We may say that if you talk about these things, how much use can we find this one for today's life? We will not discuss the profound philosophical thoughts of Zhuangzi. From the point of view of useful and useless mutual conversion, we will discuss reverse thinking. That is to say, do people have to follow the rules, follow the procedures, and follow the rules to design themselves? I have seen such a story. It is said that a large company is recruiting reporters, using a moles password for international use. Then he said that anyone familiar with this password can come here to apply. Then there were a lot of people who said I was very familiar with this code sitting outside and applying for a row of jobs. When everyone came, they thought the environment was too noisy. Because this is a big company, there are still 40 or 50 people running back and forth on this big plane, and there is a very noisy voice, talking to each other and making calls. If you want him to use a password, he still has a lot of clear codes. They are talking to each other and are full of noisy voices. Then there were so many 20 or 30 people sitting in a row waiting for the interview. The interview is at the very bottom of a mysterious room. Everyone is waiting to call him. At this time, a late guy came. He didn't even have a seat. He stood between these people for a while. Then he went straight to the door. All of us were surprised to say that they didn't call us either. Why didn't they leave the queue? He went in. After a while, the personnel manager recruited by the supervisor came out with the young man and said to all the applicants sitting here, "Sorry, this position is already in use. You can go back ." Do you know the answer? [Voiceover] Why did the late guy go straight into the mysterious hut. Why did the guy break into the door get the position of the reporter. What's the secret here? A large company is recruiting reporters, and dozens of people are waiting for a job outside a mysterious hut. However, a late guy broke into the door. Everyone was angry and said that he was late and he went straight in. We have been waiting for so long. Why didn't you even give us a chance without a question? We were dismissed without an interview. The real secret, the personnel manager said, is that we have created such a noisy environment in which we have been talking about the moers' password wave. 'If anyone understands the password, go to the small room now '. The young man came and stood here for a while. He heard it, so he went in. According to the established rules, everyone thinks that I want to sit here and wait. So no one will think about it again. At this time, I will tell you that there is another password language in this noisy voice. So what is the real person who understands the password? Through this test, he learned that the young man was awarded his position with his keen mind, reverse thinking, and courage to seize the opportunity. This is a story of modern life. Who said this opportunity would not appear around us at any time? We all know that Chuang Tzu is a wise man. In fact, the wise will never teach us tips. What he teaches us is the realm and vision. This kind of happy travel realm is in our hearts. But are we truly aware of the big, useful, and complete view of a thing? If we have such a vision, you may also seize every opportunity you have taken. [Yu Dan Xinyu] If we have such a vision, you may also seize every opportunity you encounter. Today we are talking about modern management of corporate culture. A very fashionable word is called core competitiveness. In fact, each of us asks what is my core competitiveness in my life. The so-called core competitiveness cannot be imitated, that is, it is unique. In today's era, nothing is the best, and nothing is the only one. A gourd can be useful when it grows small; a tree can be used as a table chair if it grows small; but a gourd can still be useful if it grows up to the maximum and does not need to be broken into a swimming ring; A tree that grows to the maximum can only be used to shelter people from the wind and rain. It is also useful. Never envy others. Yu Dan Xinyu: never envy others. The story of the tree is quite detailed in Chuang Tzu, not only in Xiaoyao game, but also in the man-on-Earth. He said that I went out to see an oak tree, which was regarded as a social God by people in this place. It was already a god tree. How big is this tree. His words are exaggerated. He said that thousands of cows could cool down under the tree, and the shade of the tree was covered. It's so big. He said the big tree was several hundred feet thick. Then how high is it? It's just how big it looks. The branches are on top of each other. The tree is big. But no carpenter was willing to cut it when it was founded in dangtu. Why? The carpenter said, this kind of wood is called discrete wood, it is too big, so it is not solid, the wood is very float. In the words of a carpenter's inner? In this way, if a tree is used as a ship, the ship will soon sink. If it is used as a house beam, the house beam will soon crash. If it is used as a door board, the door will soon be scattered, this item will soon be broken down, so it can't do anything like this. So in the "man on Earth", I made a deep thought. He said that he dreamed of the wood to talk to people [Voiceover] "Hello, what are you talking about during the day? You said that I am a useless tree. If I am useful, didn't you cut it down early? How can I live today ?" The sanmu said, you see that I am such a big tree, because I can't do anything, so I am here to serve as a social god. What if I had a useful tree? Who do you think I should envy? Should I envy those fruits and peaches? That is what everyone thinks is useful most. Every year, there are many fruits and you are full of praise for it. Then the oak tree said, you see that all the branches are broken, and all the branches are bent. The fruits of the above are deprived of every year when people become familiar with it. Therefore, it has to pay a lot every year, and it will be hurt. Can it not die early? It says you don't need to die early. In fact, there are many such stories in the "man on Earth. It said this tree, if you grow so long, there will be a lot of yarn monkeys. If you want to be a pile of people to see such a thick tree, they will cut you down. If you grow around three more dimensions, you can say that there are a lot of people who are doing housing, and you are counting that you have cut you away. If you grow bigger, there are trees around seven or eight trees that say that there are rich people who want to have a big coffin. It is time to calculate the coffin. How nice is this coffin board. That is to say, when you grow from small to large to that type, there will always be a low-cost and useful value to evaluate you and make you an appliance. But if you look beyond imagination. You have grown to a close-up, and I have seen such a big tree in Nyingchi, Tibet. That is the largest tree I have ever seen. It is a huge tree that has more than 20 people pulling their hands around it. The tree grows so big that it becomes a pilgrimage for everyone. When anyone goes there, they will go and have a look at it. Then everyone will sing, dance, and have a drink under this tree. The scenario is exactly the same as that described by Chuang Tzu. When everyone treats it with this kind of heart, who else says they cut the tree back and create a box. This idea is beyond the imagination of general specifications. [Voiceover] A tree cannot be a pillar, but can grow into a towering tree to become the object of pilgrimage. Zhuangzi's fable is not a reminder of our pursuit of quick success and quick success in modern life? When we observe things in a secular small realm, we often judge things with immediate usefulness and uselessness. When you have a big realm, you can understand what is "natural and useful ". So how can we reach this level? What we call useful today may be partially useful. In fact, this is a way to save a big life and do it with a big eye. So Su Dongpo has a saying: "The boat has elapsed since then, and Jiang Hai has spent the rest of his life ". This is what he said. The same is true for Li Bai. He has never been so arrogant that he has never been ill of privilege. When he was old, Du Fu went to see him and said, "Look at your old age. What are the regrets. At first glance, Li Bai said, "I just want to know that the alchemy is not finished yet. So he said that I think of the Gender ghong Ge, who wrote the fairy book "zhupu zi" in the Jin Dynasty. I felt that I couldn't help him. Du Fu was stunned. He said that such a person is worthy of the emperor and his parents, but he thinks he is worthy of such an unadjusted alchemy. What is this life? Therefore, Du Fu wrote an exclusive sentence for him: "If the autumn season is not full, Dan Sha is worthy of Ge Hong. ." Du Fu said that this is Li Bai's life. "Autumn" refers to the late autumn in the world. Is there any shame in my life when I want to review myself? This person is still a rootless person. This is called "Qiu laigu", and it is still like the grass. Ask him if he has any regrets? He said, "Dan Sha is worthy of Ge Hong ". Then Du Fu said, "Your life is" the sky of the Song of wine, who is arrogant ." The word "who is the hero" is good. This shows that in this world, he is not a monarch, not a young man, not a fame. He does not need to leave a seal, just for his own heart. So he is a hero of the world. Such a hero of heaven and earth is what Tang lihe said in his poem: "the hero of the world has no lord ." We should not always feel loyal to the country and the king, or loyal to the death of a man like a lord. Are these heroes? A real hero is a person who can make decisions for his own heart. [Yu Dan Xinyu] A real hero is a person who can make decisions for his own heart. This kind of life, determined by our own minds, will open up different realms for each of us. What is this? This is the consciousness of life. Consciousness is a Buddhist term. Let's take a look at the interesting writing of the word consciousness. You can see a word below. What is enlightenment? A five-pronged approach. That is to say, understanding is actually our heart. Consciousness, we can say today that we can see my heart. In this kind of consciousness, we asked ourselves that some of them saw their hearts. You can understand the real world and others. The world is too hard to understand, that is, to see my heart. This is consciousness. Consciousness is described as two stages in the enlightenment of Buddhism. Perception is a stage. For example, if you have listened to a certain kind of knowledge, someone said a word to you. This is a sense of vision. However, when you encounter anything, you can think about What you suddenly understand. This long process of feeling and how to participate is called enlightenment. That is to say, perception is an instant, and enlightenment is a process. Combine the moments of all points with the feelings of a long life. What you reach is to finally see my heart. This is the consciousness of life. You can look at Chinese martial arts novels. Mr. Jin Yong once said that I wrote martial arts novels and wrote Xia rather than Wu. That is to say, he never advocates skills. He never advocates simple martial arts. He advocates chivalrous feelings. That is to say, who is Xia? They come to the world with a moral approach to the injustice of the world. Therefore, Mr. Jin Yong's true hero has never trusted his skills. We will see such a history of life. When a young man first debuted, he would use the invincible sword. This is the image of Shao Xia. With his internal strength, as his realm turns deep into the middle age, he will use a blunt sword without any blade. Although it is still metal, he does not need a front edge. Then, as soon as he got out of the limitations of a school, he could become a hero in the arena, or he could become a manager. At this time, you will see it, and he will have to fade away. He may have only one wooden stick in his hand. He no longer needs metal ware. So when we reach the old age, that is to say, the highest realm is what we call "one-stop. The loneliness of this life, however, has no opponent in the rivers and lakes. You don't even have a wooden stick. This 18-piece martial arts completely turned into a superb Internal Skill. He may be a swordsman when both fingers appear; he may have a pair of fists, which is a pair of beats; he may have his hands split down, and this is a knife. Therefore, his enemies will never give up where he moves and what weapons he uses. We all know that the 18 martial arts, martial arts, are broken. That is to say, as long as you can make it clear that the martial arts are already waiting for you. This kind of internal power is carried on the body, and no one can see it. In fact, Mr. Jin Yong, what is the ultimate realm of martial arts described by all classical Chinese writers? In fact, it is impossible to achieve inaction. I remember Mr. Feng Zikai once said this. He said that there can be three levels of human life: True, good, and beautiful. Our material life is true. That is to say, every person has a rule and a profession in reality. He must meet many and many requirements, but he must be truthful. The Second Life is his aesthetic life. This kind of aesthetic is a friend of the Third Generation. A group of friends and family can listen to music and see the exhibition. You can read poetry, the enjoyment of such a kind of literature to cultivate the art is very advanced. But Mr. Feng Zikai said that this important life is the beauty of the LORD, because he has completed an aesthetic process. Then he said that the highest realm of life is a kind of soul life. This kind of soul life is the good of the Lord. However, since ancient times, the world is always full of battles. Professor Yu Dan believes that Zhuangzi's philosophy of life is to teach us to look at life in the big realm. All disputes over prosperity and wealth are meaningless. The most important thing is whether you can have a happy life. So how can we get a happy life? All kinds of battles in this world seem cruel, but it is ridiculous in the writings of Chuang Tzu. The so-called small big world, we can see that the function of Zhuangzi to put a tree, a gourd, is so big. However, he can minimize the long-standing disputes in the world. He once told this story. He said that there were two countries fighting, one called touchstone and the other called manshi. The two countries fought for the ground. In order to fight for this land, and then beat the blood, and chase each other. It was followed by five days. It takes ten days and a half a month to get things done. Then the people of the two countries are not talking about each other. The scale of the war was very large. After all these things are exaggerated. Finally, he told you how much land the two countries are fighting? This touch and manshi, one who lives in the left corner of the snail mail, and the other who lives in the right corner of the snail mail. Isn't that ridiculous? So when you go to Zuo Chuan and read the history prose of the Pre-Qin Dynasty, you will find a point called the Spring and Autumn war of no righteousness. Everyone is under the banner of justice, but in this battle to pursue such local interests. No one is absolutely right. Justice is nothing more than a fight. So I have read all these blood flows. when you understand that the land they can compete for is the largest and only a snail shell, what do we come? Our life is like an electro-optic stone fire. So in such a limited life, whatever life you go with wealth, whether you are with poverty or with wealth, you should not throw away joy. So he said, if anyone cares about it and doesn't worry about it, they won't be able to smile in this life. So it's crazy not to smile. It is because you are still obsessed with too much, not transparent. So someone actually asked Buddha what it is called Buddha. Buddha's answer is "Carefree. That is to say, if we really want to reach a happy environment, we need to break through our conventional constraints and let us put many seemingly huge things in this world in a reverse thinking perspective, there are many complaints about war, politics, revenge, and grievances. We also look at it as a small matter, as a dispute in the shell of a snail bait, as an instant event of electro-optic stone fire. On the other hand, our independent soul puts it infinitely large. [Yu Dan Xinyu] Let's look at our grievances and put our self-owned souls in an infinite space. Our life realm is large and small, and our past life is basically the same. It is not about what opportunities are provided to us objectively, but about how our minds establish value in useful and useless interpretations and use opportunities. In fact, from another perspective, do we feel sorry for the loss of spring, autumn, and moon when we are too eager for quick success? We have lost our family of friends with our children and elders. Are you sorry? We have lost a lot of opportunities to make our time grow old, and we have accumulated a bunch of useless things and turned them into our own business cards. Do we have to worry about it? If we look at Chuang Tzu again with an enlightened attitude today. In fact, the goal of each of us is to release ourselves and try our best to reach a happy world.
