Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Because the service industry in Linzi is very developed, the beauty contest was supported by all parties and was quickly organized. All walks of life generously donated whatever resources were needed. Because Yuelai Inn proposed the idea of ??naming the name, many businesses  They are all willing to provide their products in exchange for naming rights.

    The beauty contest is quickly approaching.

    There are a total of eight beauties participating in the beauty competition this time. The information has been announced through Yuelai Inn, which has attracted everyone's praise and eager anticipation.

    Even the Jixia Academy was full of voices talking about beauties, and the students had no intention of studying and only wanted to watch the beauty competition.

    When Mencius saw it, he could only say: "Be born in sorrow and die in happiness."

    Zhuang Zhou was also helpless about the customs in Linzi and said: "The people in Linzi don't seem to be living in the Warring States Period."

    Indeed, there was too little sense of crisis in Linzi, so later the city of Linzi was destroyed by the State of Yan, and the State of Qi never recovered.  Linzi was too far away from the war, so everything was peaceful with singing and dancing.

    ¡° Natural and man-made disasters are taking place in small countries, while reforms aimed at strengthening the country are taking place in big countries.  Although the State of Qi is also rectifying its officialdom, it is really difficult to connect the situation in Linzi with the Warring States Period.

    Zhuang Zhou sighed and lost his words. He was not interested in the beauty contest, but he felt that the joys and sorrows between countries were indeed incompatible.  The Qin State in the west is making a lot of heads for the reform, but the Qi State in the east is holding a beauty competition. They are also countries on the land of China, but the gap is so huge.

    Strong countries will not sympathize with weak countries at all, but will take advantage of them and annex them.  The strong will attack the weak, the weak will attack the weaker, and those who steal the hook will kill the princes who steal the country.

    "The world is hopeless." The more lively Linzi became, the more Zhuang Zhou felt that the world was rotten, so he hid in his room to study the theory of equality of things.

    Although Zhuang Zhou couldn't bear to see Linzi, Zhuang Zhou's intellectual level improved a lot after meeting a large number of scholars in Linzi.  Now he wants to perfect his speculative theory, as if the bustle outside and Zhuang Zhou are in two different worlds.

    Debate is not an end, but a means. Through debate, Zhuang Zhou improved his theory, improved his view of the world, and tried to answer why the world is chaotic.  Why do people fight against each other, and why do parliaments attack each other?  Zhuangzi believes that it is not because of morality or immorality, but because everyone has "intentions".  Intention can be understood as prejudice. People will only believe what they want to believe and are only willing to see what they see, so they will argue and attack endlessly.

    Therefore, if people can get out of their hearts and look at the problem, they may be able to think for others, and the country and the country will get along peacefully.

    In the room, Zhuangzi wrote the fable of the three and four times.  That is to say, a monkey farmer gave the monkeys three chestnuts in the morning and four in the evening. The monkeys screamed and were not happy to accept them.  So the monkey farmer changed to four chestnuts in the morning and three in the evening, and the monkeys were very happy.

    Are monkeys stupid?  No matter it's day and night, or day and night, there are seven chestnuts a day. What's so happy about a change?  However, many people are like this, because they have "intentions" and view things in a biased and one-sided way, and cannot see the whole at all.

    The monkey only saw that the number of chestnuts in the morning changed from three to four, so he was very happy.  People think monkeys are stupid because they only see the morning and don't see the whole day at all.  But when humans look at things, aren't they just like monkeys who can only see one side, and are they happy because of their success in one side?  No different than a monkey.

    In Zhuang Zhou's view, the people in Linzi are like monkeys who are wandering around. They only see their own happiness but not the chaos of the world.  Compared with the suffering, is it not sad?

    It¡¯s just that people in Linzi can¡¯t see it, so they are as happy as a monkey when three chestnuts turn into four in the morning, but they can¡¯t see that the chestnuts turn from four into three at night.  Linzi people are happy now, but they will definitely have no place to complain when they arrive.

    The reason why hundreds of schools of thought can be passed down is because they tell stories well, and Zhuang Zhou is a good storyteller. He uses random stories to describe the sadness and ridiculousness of not having an overall view of the overall situation.

    "It's a pity that people are like this. Most people look at things "intentionally", only looking at one side and not the whole.  Therefore, no matter how heartbroken Zhuangzi is, it cannot change the facts.

    Empiricism, dogmatism, and hedonism will still be prevalent even thousands of years later. Basically, few people can learn to analyze specific things in detail. Everyone is just happy to believe what they believe.

    Zhuang Zhou on the Bamboo SlipHe wrote hard and fast, and wrote down famous quotes that will last forever.

    Yunyao could see that the young Zhuangzi still had the idea of ????changing the world, otherwise he would not be cynical.  It¡¯s just that this world disappointed Zhuang Zhou. It can only be said that the Warring States era was not worthy of figures like Zhuangzi and Mencius.

    If the Theory of Equality of Things becomes popular and everyone looks at the problem as a whole and regards China as one, it will naturally bring peace to the world, because there is no benefit to the internal strife among the Chinese countries. We are all brothers and sisters and should not act like monkeys.  Only seeing one's own happiness and not seeing the suffering of the world, one should take the responsibility for peace in the world. This is the way to "reunite into one".

    However, Yunyao also has to say a few words. He cannot blindly "equalize all things" and must also acknowledge the differences and differences of all things in the world.  Although the Equality of Things theory is very remarkable, differences do exist, and we cannot just look at the whole without looking at the differences.

    Therefore, we must observe the whole and admit the differences. This is dialectical materialism.

    Zhuang Zhou¡¯s Theory of Equality of Things is very valuable, because the Warring States Period lacked holism, and everyone focused on one city, one place, one country, one king.  No one has discussed why everyone sees the same thing differently. The concept of "intention" is just like prejudice, which is very enlightening.

    Putting aside prejudices and uniting all things is a lofty ideal to eliminate disputes.

    But now the people of Linzi can all gather together. Their "intention" can only see the beauty contest starting, and they gather happily at the racecourse.

    Yunyao will naturally not miss it, but Zhuang Zhou will not go this time. He will continue writing. Yao Zhuang also stays at home to accompany her husband, which can be said to be a blessing in disguise.

    The five beauties transformed into handsome young men and followed the crowd towards the target.

    The streets are empty and the streets are full of people. As far as you can see, they are full of people. A high platform has been set up on the racecourse and colorful flags have been erected. The flags of various shops are fluttering in the wind. Among them, Yuelai Inn has the most flags. It is indeed a great investment.

    Ms. Zhu has an invitation for the baby, so she has a place.  In addition to arranging people's seats in advance, all the outer seats were for sale, making a lot of money.

    Although the distance outside is very far, having a seat means that you are more noble than those who stand.

    Just like when offering sacrifices, the different positions represent the level of status. The higher the rank, the closer to the altar, and the lower the rank, the farther away.

    When watching a game, the closer you are, the more noble you are, and having a seat is more noble than not having one.  So many people spend a lot of money to buy tickets just for the privilege of being there.

    Although the beauty contest is not a sacrifice, the principle is the same.
