Butchering the ox
Pre-Qin: Zhuangzhou
My life is also the end of the world, and the knowledge of the end of the world . I am a man of the end of the world, and I know the end of the world, and I know the end of the world! The person who is already a knower is in danger! For good is not close to the name, for evil is not close to the punishment. The edge of the Governor thought that the scripture, you can protect your body, you can all life, you can support your family, you can do years.
Butcher for the Wen Hui Jun cattle, the hands of the touch, the shoulders of the leaning, the feet of the foot, the knees of the shin, as if the direction, playing the knife, nothing in the sound. The dance of "Sanglin" was the first of its kind in the world, and it was the first of its kind in the history of the world.
Wen Hui Jun said: "Hip, good! The skill cover to this?"
Butcher released the knife and said: "I'm good, the road is also, into the technology is carried out. Beginning of the minister's cattle when, see no non-cattle. Three years later, have not seen the whole cow. Nowadays, I meet with God instead of seeing with my eyes, and the official knows to stop while God wants to do it. In accordance with the Divine Principle, approved the big, guide the big, because of its inherent, the technology by the kanxin of the untried, not to mention the big wheels! Good kitchen years more knife, cut also; family kitchen month more knife, fold also. This minister's knife for nineteen years, the solution to thousands of cattle carry on, and the knife blade if the new hair on the whetstone. He section of the intermediate, and the blade of the knife is not thick; to have no thick into the intermediate, to restore the edge of the knife will have room to carry on, is to nineteen years and the blade of the knife if the whetstone of the new hair. Although, every to the family, I see its difficult to do, fear for the warning, as a stop, behavior is late. Move the knife is very small, the flesh has been dissolved, such as the earth to the ground. Lift the knife and stand, for the look around, for the hesitation, good knife and hide it."
Wen Hui Jun said: "Good! I have heard the words of the Butcher, and I have been able to nourish my life."
Translation
My life is limited and knowledge is unlimited. It is dangerous to pursue infinite knowledge with a limited life! If you are already in danger and still persist in pursuing knowledge, then there is nothing left but danger. Doing good things without asking for fame, doing bad things without being punished, to follow the natural way of nothingness for the purpose, then you can protect life, you can preserve nature, you can conserve the opportunity of new life, you can enjoy the fullness of life.
The butchers slaughtered the ox for King Hui of Liang. Where the hand touches, where the shoulder leans, where the foot treads, and where the knee rests, there is a clattering sound, and there is nothing out of tune when the knife goes in: it is in accordance with the beat of the dance music of Sanglin (at the time of Tang), and in accordance with the rhythm of the music of Jingshou (at the time of Yao).
King Hui of Liang said, "Hee, good! （How could (your skill in) unraveling oxen be so skillful as this?"
Butcher put down the knife and replied, "What I am pursuing is the Dao (this is a false word, no specific meaning, can be interpreted as the laws of nature), which has exceeded the general technology. At first when I slaughtered the cow, I saw a complete cow in my eyes; three years later, I have never seen a complete cow again (meaning: to see only a dotted line cow is to see only how to solve). Now, I am in contact with the cow with my spirit, not with my eyes; my senses have stopped and my spirit is active. According to the natural structure of the cow's physiology, I cut into the gap between the sinews and bones of the cow's body, and enter the knife into the space between the bones, according to the original structure of the cow's body, where the sinews and meridians are connected and where the sinews and bones are united, I have never touched it with my knife, let alone the big bones! Good cooks change their knives once a year to cut the sinews and flesh (just like we use a knife to cut a rope); average cooks have to change their knives once a month to cut the bones and break their knives (because they don't know how to cut the bones, so when they cut the bones, they are easy to break them). Today, I've had my knife for nineteen years, and the cattle I've slaughtered number in the thousands, but the blade is as sharp as if it had just been sharpened on a whetstone. The bones of the oxen have gaps in them, and the blade is very thin; and when a very thin blade is inserted into the bones with gaps in them, and it is wide open, then there must be room for the blade to run! Therefore, for nineteen years, the blade was still as if it had just been sharpened from the whetstone. In spite of this, whenever I came across a place where sinews and bones were intertwined and knotted together, and saw that it was difficult to cut there, I carefully raised my guard, concentrated my sight on one point, slowed down my movements, and moved the knife very gently, and with a loud crack, the bones and flesh of the cow unraveled all at once, as if the earth had been scattered on the ground. I stood up with the knife, raised my eyes for this purpose, and for this purpose was leisurely and satisfied, and then wiped the knife clean and collected it."
King Hui of Liang said, "Good! I have listened to these words of the butcher, and I know the truth of health maintenance."
