From "Zhuangzi. Autumn Waters".
Original text
Zhuangzi and Huizi were traveling on Haoliang.
Zhuangzi said: "The fish swims calmly, which is the joy of fish." "Happiness?"
Zhuangzi said: "I am not a son, how do you know that I don't know the joy of fish?"
Huizi said: "I am not a son, so I don't know it; I am not a son." It's all fish, you don't know the joy of fish."
Zhuangzi said: "Please follow the principle. Zi said, 'You know the joy of fish.' Since you know that I know it, ask. I, I know what is above the Hao River."
Translation
Zhuangzi and Huizi were walking on the bridge of the Hao River.
Zhuangzi said: "The minnow swims very calmly. This fish is very happy."
Huizi said: "You are not a fish, how do you know the happiness of fish?"
Zhuangzi said: "You are not me, how do you know that I don't know the happiness of fish?"
Huizi said: "I am not you, so of course I don't know how you feel; you are not originally a fish, "You don't know the happiness of fish, that's for sure."
Zhuangzi said: "Please find the original. What you said about "how do you know the happiness of fish" is that (you) have already. You know what I feel and then you ask me. I learned about the happiness of fish on the Hao River.
