From: Zhuangzi Qiushui by Zhuangzi [in the middle of the Warring States Period].
Keiko said, "If you are not a fish, you will know the joy of fish." Chuang Tzu said, " you are not me, how do you know I do not know that fish is happy?" ？ ” Keiko said, "I'm not a child, so I don't know anything about it;" Zi Gu is not a fish, but he doesn't know the joy of fish. "
Interpretation: Keiko said, "If you are not a fish, how do you know the happiness of the fish?" Zhuangzi said, "If you are not me, how do you know that I don't know the happiness of fish?" Keiko said, "I'm not you, and I didn't know you." You are not a fish in the first place, and you can be sure that you don't know the happiness of fish. "
Extended data:
"A child who is not a fish knows the joy of fish" is a sentence written by Keiko and recorded in Zhuangzi Qiushui. It shows that you should not always look at others with your own eyes, and there is also the meaning of "don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you".
"Autumn Water" is another long story in Zhuangzi. With the first two words as the title, the center is to discuss how people should know foreign things.
It emphasizes the complexity of understanding things, that is, the relativity of things themselves and the variability of cognitive process, and points out the difficulty of cognition and accurate judgment. However, the article overemphasizes the uncertain factors of things' changes, fails to reveal the dialectical relationship between relativity and absoluteness in the cognitive process, and easily leads to agnosticism, so in the end, it can only conform to things and return to inaction, which is of course negative again.
