This is actually a story from "Zhuangzi", which tells about the four realms of human beings!
"Zhuangzi·Outer Chapter·Dasheng" Ji Lingzi raised cocks for the king. On the tenth day, he asked, "Is the chicken already?" He said, "It's not yet, and the side is empty and suffocated." On the tenth day, he asked again, "It's not yet, but it should still be Xiangjing." On the tenth day, he asked again, saying: " It’s not yet, I still look at it and become full of energy.” On the tenth day, he asked again, saying: “How old is it? Although the chickens croak, they have not changed. I look at them like wooden chickens, their virtues are complete, and different chickens dare not respond. Whoever, go back."
The translator Kiyoko was a man who trained cockfighting for the king. He is training an excellent chicken. The king kept asking if the chicken was ready for battle.
The first time was 10 days later, and the answer was, "Not yet," the trainer said. "He was so fiery that he wanted to fight other chickens at all times. He had a vain pride in his own strength."
After 10 days, he replied: "Not yet, he gets angry when he hears other chickens crow."
Another 10 days passed: "Not yet. It's still glaring, fluttering feathers."
10 more days. The trainer said, "He's almost ready now. When the other chicken crows, he doesn't blink. He's like a wooden chicken, motionless. He's a full-fledged fighter. Ran."
In the 10 days of the first stage, Fang was vain and arrogant:
ake is very angry, fighting with various people, and even going to provoke Macca.
After the provocation, when leaving, was sent a note, Take the Elevator.
In the 10 days of the second stage, still Ying Xiangjing:
After a while, he knew that his 'illness' was beginning to become restless and worrying.
In the 10 days of the third stage, I was still in full swing. :
At first, he became more restrained, but when he went to lend money to others, he would still get angry, and even when asked to shoot the old man, he aimed the gun at the person who gave him the gun.
In the 10 days of the fourth stage, although the rooster croaks, nothing has changed:
To challenge your inner, conscious and subconscious stages of struggle, facing Macca for the first time at Macca's bedside, there is a lot of inner activity, but in the end there are two types of emotions, fear, doubt, and non-fear, calm.
In the elevator, due to the power outage, he thought deeply and discovered the qualities he should have, a state of being emptiness and quiet.
But Macca panicked, because he realized that the world was not what he knew.
Seeing Macca for the second time, Jake already understood the essence of the battle, and finally won without standing.
Finally, we can learn how to cultivate our own spirit . It is said in the Tao Te Ching: The emphasis is on the light root, and the quiet is the impetuous ruler. Where does the breath of stillness come from? Check if we are vain and arrogant? Is there still Ying Xiangjing? Are you still arrogant? Can you reach the state of being dumbfounded? In the "Tao Te Ching", it should give us more inspiration.
