Zhuang Zhou is Zhuangzi, a native of Song Dynasty during the Warring States Period, a famous thinker, writer, philosopher, and representative of the Taoist school in Chinese history. In the 25th year of the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, Zhuangzi was named "Nanhua Zhenren" by the edict, and later known as "Nanhua Zhenren". He was regarded as the founder of Taoist hermit Miaozhendao, and regarded him as the incarnation of the Tianzun Taiyi who saved suffering. .
Zhuangzi advocates the uniformity of things and maintains unity and harmony with all things in the world. There is only unconditional identity between heaven and man, between things and self, between life and death, and even all things. There is only unconditional identity, that is, absolute "qi"; Right and wrong, life and death together, noble and humble, imagine a subjective spiritual realm of "Heaven and earth live side by side with me, and everything is one with me", to live smoothly in time, to be happy and content, and the final destination of learning "Tao" is also the only one. In addition to all differences, from "waiting" to "no waiting".
When his wife passed away, he did not show any sadness at all, but instead knocked on the basin and sang loudly. It seemed totally unbelievable to others, so I asked him if your wife died, not only was she not sad but very happy? He replied, she got away from this disturbing world and got permanent peace. I'm singing a song happy for her.
People who got this answer praised him as a real let go. He let go of emotions and reached the state of forgetting things. But is this the real purpose of his singing?
has different opinions in the opinions of later generations, which can be roughly divided into two types of opinions.
Zhang Sui in the Ming Dynasty believed that this is not Zhuangzi reaching the state of forgetting things and me. On the contrary, he was too affectionate. It is precisely because of his deep feelings that he would be happy for his wife, and he can express the strong expression by slapped and sang. The feeling of joy, if you really let go of your feelings, there should be no big emotional fluctuations, and you will either ignore it or do your own little effort to handle the funeral for your wife. Another view of
is that the reason his wife is happy when she is dead is that Zhuangzi can really live the life he wants, cultivate one's moral character, be indifferent to fame and fortune, follow nature, and walk away from the world. Just because his wife is a man of the world, he was forced to join the world as an official, and he was forced to seek fame and glory. All of this disappeared with the death of his wife. The life that Zhuangzi wanted has really begun. How can we not sing a song? What?
