The original text and translation of Zhuangzi's Autumn Water and Xiaoyao You are the entire book The following is the original text and translation of Zhuangzi·Autumn Water: Zhuangzi·Autumn Water Original text: Chuang Tzu was fishing on an isle. The fish has three tails, and the patterns are like three lights. Chuang Tzu held his pole and persevered. At that time, the Emperor of Heaven came down and said,"Do you like to travel? I'll tease you. What are you?" Chuang Tzu said,"It is for the sake of learning more that I understand the nature of things. I will not beat the drum or make a sound when I hide it, and I will not violate it when I use it." The Emperor of Heaven said,"Have I found you? Do you keep it without beating the drum or singing it?" Chuang Tzu said,"The reason why I hide it without drumming or ringing is because of my true nature. If I use it, I'll look at it with the truth. The truth, the truth, the falsehood, does not lie in wealth, does not lie in north and south, does not lie in truth, does not lie in length, does not lie in gains and losses, does not lie in external things. I hid it, didn't beat the drum, didn't beat the drum, and looked at it with my real eyes. The sound of the drum is not from the outside but from the inside. The truth lies in the inner world and the false lies in the outer world, not in the outer world. Therefore, the sound of the drum is not sick, but sick. My true nature is like the true nature of others, and my true nature is like the false nature of others. The truth lies not in the outside but in the inside. Therefore, the sound of the drum is not sick, but sick. I hid it, didn't beat the drum, didn't beat the drum, and looked at it with my real eyes. The sound of the drum is not from the outside but from the inside. The truth lies in the inner world and the false lies in the outer world, not in the outer world. Therefore, I have no hidden, no drum, no sound, no you, no me, no truth, no falsehood. The truth lies outside, the false lies outside, not outside, but inside. Therefore, I am free and unfettered outside, but I am free and unfettered inside, so that I can respond to the infinite. I don't know what I don't know, I don't know what I don't know, and I don't know what others don't know. This is called supreme knowledge. There is nothing you don't know except wisdom. This is called the most carefree." Translator: Chuang Tzu was fishing on the bank of the river. There were three of his fish, and the words on their bodies were glowing with three rays of light. Chuang Tzu held the pole and persevered, ignoring the fish. At that time, the Emperor of Heaven asked Chuang Tzu,"Do you like to wander?" I'll be joking. Why are you wandering?" Chuang Tzu said,"I have learned knowledge, and I hide it in my heart, not spreading it out, not making a sound." Treat it with my sincerity." The Emperor of Heaven said,"Did I get you?" You hide it in your heart, don't spread it out, don't make a sound, treat it with your heart. The propaganda and voice were not external but internal. The real inside and fake outside did not lie in the outside world. You hid and publicized it, not on the outside but on the inside. The real inside and fake outside did not lie in the outside world. That's why I promoted you, not on the outside, but on the inside. The real inside and fake outside did not lie in the outside world. So I hid and you hid, not from the outside but from the inside. The real inside and fake outside did not lie in the outside world. So I have no secrets, no propaganda, no you, no me, no truth, no falsehood. The true inner and false outer did not lie on the outside but in the heart. So I roam freely outside, wandering inside, no matter whether I'm suitable or not, no matter whether I can or not, to deal with the infinite. I don't know, and others don't know, this is supreme knowledge. There was nothing that he did not know other than the utmost knowledge. This is the Unfettered." Autumn Water was one of the famous philosophical works in ancient China. It mainly talked about the meaning of life and the essence of freedom. Among them, Chuang Tzu put forward the idea that the true and false lies not in the outside but in the inside. He believed that the true inside and the false outside did not lie in the outside but in the heart. This view reflected Zhuangzi's carefree spirit. He advocated that people should surpass the limitations of the outside world and pursue the freedom of the heart to achieve the release of the soul.
