The story of Zhuangzi's wife is really thought - provoking. When his wife died, Zhuangzi's response was unconventional. Most people would be grief - stricken and follow the traditional mourning rituals. But Zhuangzi had a different view. He considered that life is a process of constant change. Death is just another stage of this change. His wife had completed her life journey, and he saw no reason to be overly sad. He was more in tune with the natural order of things and believed that everything has its own way of being and changing. His reaction shows his profound understanding of the relationship between life, death, and the natural world.
Sure. Zhuangzi's wife died. But Zhuangzi didn't cry or be overly sad. He thought death was just a part of nature's cycle.
The original text of Chuang Tzu's "Carefree Wandering" is as follows: There is a fish in the north of the sea, its name is Kun. Kun is so big that I don't know it's thousands of miles long. It turned into a bird, and its name was Peng. The back of the roc is thousands of miles away. It flies in anger, and its wings are like clouds hanging down from the sky. This is a bird that will migrate to the south if it is transported by sea. The above was the entire original text of Carefree Travel.
"Zhuangzi" was a philosophical work written by the famous philosopher Zhuangzi during the Warring States Period in China. It was considered one of the classics of ancient Chinese philosophy and one of the representative works of the Taoist school. The genre of Zhuangzi was a type of quote, which showed Zhuangzi's ideology and philosophical views through a large number of conversations. Most of the conversations were between Zhuangzi and his students. Through these conversations, Chuang Tzu tried to explain his philosophy and convey his deep understanding of life, the world and himself.
I'm not really familiar with that specific story in Zhuangzi. Maybe you could look it up in some specialized literature or online resources.
Autumn Water was selected from the collection of Zhuangzi. The author was Zhuangzi, whose original name was Song Yu.
Chuang Tzu was one of the ancient Chinese philosophers. His thoughts were profound and his remarks were extensive. He left behind many famous poems and famous sayings. One of the most famous ones was,"It's better to forget each other than to help each other in the pugilistic world." The meaning of this sentence was that when two people encountered difficulties, they would lean on each other and support each other. However, in the end, they would separate because they could not solve the problem. Instead of doing this, it was better to forget each other and return to their own Jianghu to find their own home. This sentence expressed Chuang Tzu's view on life. He believed that the relationship between people should be a state of equality, mutual respect, and independence, rather than a state of mutual dependence and entanglement. From this point of view, Chuang Tzu emphasized that people should learn to let go of their worries and troubles and pursue inner peace and freedom in order to obtain true happiness. This sentence was also widely used in literature and film and television works. It was often used to express the separation of life and the pursuit of freedom. It conveyed a kind of open-minded, tolerant and free attitude towards life, making people feel peace and freedom in their hearts.
One of the original texts in Zhuangzi was: It's better to forget each other in Jianghu than to help each other in drizzle.

Zhuangzi's fast of the heart referred to the fast of the mind, which was to keep the mind in a state of quietness, clarity, and emptiness. Chuang Tzu believed that one should abandon all perception and thoughts, completely eliminate the function of consciousness, and let the mind only conform to the movement of Qi without any analysis and identification. Through the heart, one could sense everything and achieve a state of mind that was empty and clear, eliminating one's own selfish desires and prejudices, and achieving a state of freedom. Chuang Tzu proposed the idea of a heart fast in order to let people abandon their thoughts, not be disturbed by the outside world, free themselves from the thoughts of fame and fortune, and realize the freedom of the soul.
The full text of Zhuangzi's "Carefree Travel" is as follows: Chuang Tzu caught fish in Haoliang. He raised the fish and raised the birds. There is a bird called Peng, whose chest is the corner of the city, and whose head is the sky. Chuang Tzu fished it up and threw it away. When he asked the bird about its free and unfettered journey, he said,"The bird is free and unfettered in its nest, eating and resting, and wants to be free and unfettered outside. Who is it that looks at you?" The rocs roam freely in the sky. The wings of the rocs are like the corners of the city walls, and the sky is like the sky. Chuang Tzu fished it up and threw it away.

Mencius said,"The bird is free and unfettered in its shell." Therefore, Chuang Tzu's freedom is natural. So who will look after you when you are free and unfettered? Free and unfettered in the inner world, who is the one who can maintain it? Therefore, those who are free and unfettered can achieve great things without hard work. This is to achieve success without hard work, so there is nothing to do, nothing to do, so there is no opportunity to be free. If you don't meet the right time, no one in the world can compete with you. Therefore, no one in the world can compete with those who are free.
