In autumn and the season of mountain torrents, many rivers flow into the Yellow River. The river is so wide and turbulent that even cattle and horses can't tell the sandbars on both sides of the river from the water. So the river god gloated that all the beautiful things in the world were gathered here. The river god followed the current eastward to the North Sea. Looking east, he can't see the end of the sea. So he just changed his smug face, looked up at Poseidon and sighed: "As the saying goes,' After listening to hundreds of truths, you feel that no one in the world can match you', that is me. In addition, I also heard that Kong Qiu knew too little, and Boyi's lofty justice was not worthy of attention. At first, I couldn't believe it. Now I have seen with my own eyes how vast you are. If I hadn't come to the door, I would have been in danger, and I would always be laughed at by people with high cultivation. "
Poseidon said: "frogs in the well can't talk to them about the sea because they are limited by their living space;" Insects in summer are far from freezing to death, because they are limited by their survival time; Because of the shackles of upbringing, it is impossible to talk to them about the avenue of country songs. Now that you have come out of the river bank and seen the sea, you know your meanness and you can participate in talking about the avenue. There is nothing bigger than the ocean on the surface of the world. Thousands of rivers flow into the sea. I don't know when it will stop, and the sea will never flood. The tail at the bottom of the sea leaks seawater, I don't know when it will stop, but the seawater has never decreased; There is no change in spring and autumn, and floods and droughts are unconscious. This shows that the sea far exceeds the flow of rivers and cannot be calculated by quantity. But I have never been complacent, thinking that I inherited the body of heaven and earth and the qi of yin and yang. I exist between heaven and earth, just like a small stone or sawdust in the mountains. Just when I thought my existence was really small, where would I think of my satisfaction and conceit? Think about it, the four seas exist between heaven and earth, just like Ozawa's tiny pores between stones. Think again, the land of the Central Plains exists in the four seas, isn't it like flour and rice and rice grains in a big granary? The number of things is ten thousand, and man is just one of all things; People gather in Kyushu, and the grain is long, and everyone is just one of many people; Compared with everything, isn't a person like a hair on a horse? What the five emperors succeeded, what the three kings fought for, what the benevolent people worried about and what the talented people planned were all in this tiny place! Boyi resigned himself to his fate and achieved great success, while Kong Qiu and Kan Kan talked about it and learned a lot, which is probably their complacency and pride; Isn't it like you are complacent when the river surges? "
The Second Translation of Frog of Kanjing;
Gong Sunlong asked Wei Gongzi Mou: "When I was young, I learned the Taoism of ancient emperors, and when I was old, I learned the virtue of benevolence and righteousness." Combine the similarities and differences of things into one and separate the hardness and color of things; If not, it can't be done; Exhausting the wisdom of a hundred schools of thought and eloquence of many schools. I think I know the most. But now, after listening to Zhuangzi, I am very confused and surprised. I wonder if my argument can't catch up with him, or my wisdom is not as good as his? I can't talk now. May I ask why? "
Childe Mou sighed, leaned back on the case, looked up at the sky and said with a smile, "Haven't you heard of Asai Toad? It said to the turtles in the East China Sea,' I'm so happy! Come out and jump on the circle of the mine field, and go in and rest on the broken bricks on the wall. Into the well water, the well water floated under my arm, holding my chin and stepping on the mud at the bottom of the well, which covered my instep. Looking back at the toads, crabs and tadpoles in the well, no one can be like me. In addition, the happiness of occupying a ditch, jumping or standing in a shallow well is also the extreme of happiness. Why doesn't Mr. Wang come in often? The tortoise in the East China Sea stumbled on his right foot before his left foot stepped into the well. So he was hesitant and went back to tell toad the joy of the East China Sea:' The sea is too big, although it is thousands of miles away, it can't be exhausted; Seven or eight hundred feet high, endless. At the time of Dayu, there were floods in nine out of ten years, but the sea did not increase more; In Shang Tang, there have been droughts in seven of the eight years, but the edge of the sea has not shrunk further. It does not change because of short time, nor does it increase or decrease because of the amount of rainfall. This is the joy of the East China Sea. "The toad in the shallow well listened to the exultation of the East China Sea and looked very scared and lost himself.
"Besides, wisdom doesn't know right and wrong, and it still wants to see Zhuangzi's words. This is like letting mosquitoes cross the Yellow River with their backs, and letting businessmen cross the Yellow River quickly. They can't undertake these tasks. Besides, wisdom does not know the extraordinary insights of analysis, but is complacent about the agility of the moment. Isn't this a toad in a shallow well? What's more, Zhuangzi's remarks are stepping on the grave to climb to the sky. No south, no north, all directions, deep and unfathomable; There is no east or west, starting from the highest and farthest place in the mysterious darkness and returning to the all-pervasive avenue. You should seek it in a superficial and formal way. It's just a bamboo tube to peep at the width of the sky and an awl to measure the depth of the earth. Is it too small? You go! Haven't you heard the story of Yu Zi, the tomb keeper of the State of Yan, learning to walk in Handan, the capital of Zhao? As a result, Shouling's son failed to learn Zhao's stunts (or skills) and forgot his original way of walking, so he had to crawl home. If you don't leave now, you will forget your original skills and lose your original studies. "
Gong Sunlong couldn't keep his mouth shut and his tongue shut, so he ran away.
