If you are not a fish, you will know the happiness of fish. This is a Chinese proverb, which means that if you are not a fish, how do you know that a fish is happy?
This allusion comes from Autumn Water in Zhuangzi, which is used to warn people not to speculate others with their own subjective ideology, and not to do to others what they don't want them to do to them.
Zi Fei fish makes sentences:
1, I smiled and said nothing, and the child is not a fish. How do you know the happiness of a fish?
2, Zhuangzi said: "_ Fish swim calmly, this is the joy of fish." Keiko said, "If you are not a fish, you will know the happiness of fish."
Interpretation of sentences:
This sentence comes from a conversation between Zhuangzi and fellow countryman Hui Shi. Zhuangzi saw the fish swimming under Haoshui Bridge and thought they were very happy. So Hui Shi questioned that Zhuangzi was not a fish, so he didn't know if the fish were happy or not.
According to the cognitive law, people and fish are two different creatures, and it is impossible for people to feel the joys and sorrows of fish, so this sentence tells people not to speculate with their own subjective ideology. No matter how you treat people or things, what you think is not necessarily the truth of the matter.
