Zhuang Zhou turned angry and said, "When I came yesterday, I heard someone shouting in the middle of the road. I looked back and found a fish in the rut. I asked it:' Squid! Who are you?' The fish replied,' I am a servant of Poseidon. Can you have some water to save me?'
I said,' Well, I will go south to visit the King of Wu and the King of Yue, and draw water from the Xijiang River to save you. How about that?' The fish turned angry and said,' I have lost the water where I often live, and there is no place to live. I just need a little water to live. How dare you say that? You might as well go to the store selling dried fish and find me earlier!' "

Brief introduction of the author
Zhuangzi was a thinker, philosopher and writer in the mid-Warring States period. Zhuang, Zhou, Zi Xiu (also known as Zi Mu), was born in the Song Dynasty, and his ancestor was Song Daigong, the monarch of the Song Dynasty. He founded Zhuangzi, an important philosophical school in China. He was the representative of the Taoist school in the Warring States period after Laozi and one of the main representatives of the Taoist school. It is also known as Laozi and Laozi.
Zhuangzi should not be hired by Chu Weiwang for advocating freedom, and he only worked as a lacquered garden official in Song Dynasty. History is called "the proud official of the lacquer garden" and is regarded as a model of local officials.
Zhuangzi first put forward the idea of "sage inside and king outside", which had a far-reaching influence on Confucianism. Zhuangzi had a deep insight into the book of changes and profoundly pointed out that "the book of changes takes the Tao of Yin and Yang"; Zhuangzi's thought of "three sounds" is consistent with the three talents in the Book of Changes. His representative work is Zhuangzi, among which his famous works are Xiaoyao, Qi Wu Lun and so on.
Zhuangzi's imagination is extremely rich, his language is freely used and flexible, and he can make some subtle and unspeakable philosophies fascinating. His works are called "literary philosophy, philosophical literature". It is said that he lived in seclusion in Nanhua Mountain, so at the beginning of Tianbao in Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, he named Zhuang Zhou as a South China real person and called his book Zhuangzi the South China True Classic.
