Below I recommend two fables full of philosophy for you. You are welcome to read and enjoy them. More wonderful stories are in China fans.

Birds and owls

After Zhuangzi's good friend Hui Shi was appointed Prime Minister of Wei, Zhuangzi was very happy for his friend and set out to visit Hui Shi.

When Zhuangzi's action reached the villain, he distorted Zhuangzi's purpose, provoking him to say that Zhuangzi was furious when he went to Beijing this time, aiming at seeking the truth. Hearing this, Hui Shi was very scared. Afraid of losing his official position, he ordered a search for Zhuangzi. To catch him, they searched all over the country for three days and nights.

Hui Shi's move was known by Zhuangzi, and Zhuangzi simply took the initiative to visit. Hui Shi looked at Zhuangzi in surprise. Zhuangzi also don't explain to Hui Shi, just sit down and tell a story:

In the south, there is a legendary bird, similar to the phoenix, named Chu Yuan. It departs from the South China Sea and flies to the North Sea. On the road, if you don't see the tall buttonwood, you will never live. Not bamboo and precious fruits, never eat; Drink only when you meet sweet spring water.

The bird flew all the way. It saw an owl in the sky and on the ground, pecking at a rotten dead mouse. Owls crave food. When he saw the bird overhead, he thought it was coming to rob the mouse to death, so he blushed, his feathers stood up, glared and made a gesture of death. Seeing the bird still flying overhead, it screamed at the top of its lungs!

Zhuangzi finished the story of the owl meeting the bird, calmly walked up to Hui Shi and asked him with a smile: "You got the portrait of Wei today and saw me coming. Are you trying to intimidate me?" Say that finish, Zhuangzi laughed and left.

People with lofty ideals pursue nobleness but are not understood by secular villains. Greedy villains guess the behavior of nobles with dark psychology. It can be said that with the heart of a villain, it is the belly of a gentleman. Satire lashed out at those who are obsessed with power.

(2) Cut off seats and break off diplomatic relations

Guan Ning and Hua Xin were very good friends when they were young. They are inseparable all day, eating at the same table, reading and sleeping in the same bed, and get along very well.

Once, they went to work together, weeding in vegetable fields. The two men kept working and soon hoed a large area.

I saw Guan Ning raise his hoe, and the hoe fell, and with a clang, he met a hard thing. Guan Ning curiously turned over a large piece of soil he had hoed. In the dark mud, something from Huang Chengcheng is shining. Guan Ning looked intently and saw that it was a piece of gold, then said to himself, "What hard thing should I take? It turned out to be a gold ingot. " Then, he ignored it and went on weeding.

"What? Gold! " Huaxin, not far away, couldn't help being moved. He quickly dropped his hoe and ran over, picked up the gold nugget and studied it carefully in his hand.

Seeing this, Guan Ning waved his hoe and blamed Hua Xin, saying, "Money comes from hard work. A moral person can't covet the property he gets for nothing. "

Hua Xin listened and said, "I understand this truth." With gold in my hand, I look around and can't bear to put it down. Later, he was really tired of Guan Ning's eyes, so he reluctantly left Gold and went back to work. But he is still thinking about gold in his heart. He has never worked hard before and is still sighing. On ning saw him like this, no longer say anything, just silently shook his head.

On another occasion, the two of them sat on the mat reading a book. I was watching with rapt attention when suddenly it boiled outside, with drums and music, mixed with the shouts of escorting and the noise of people watching. So Guan Ning and Hua Xin got up and went to the window to see what had happened.

It turned out that a powerful person was passing by by by car. A large group of followers, wearing weapons and uniforms, rushed to the security car and stood down. Looking at the interior decoration, it is even more luxurious: the car body is carved with exquisite and beautiful patterns, the curtains covering the car are made of colorful silks and satins, surrounded by gold wires, and the roof is inlaid with a large piece of jade, which looks magnificent and eye-catching.

Guan Ning was very dismissive of this, and went back to his original place to pick up a book and concentrate on reading it, completely turning a deaf ear to the noise outside, as if nothing had happened.

Hua Xin, however, was totally attracted by publicity and luxury. He felt that he couldn't see clearly in the room, so he didn't even read the book. He quickly ran to the street to follow the crowd and carefully followed the motorcade.

Guan Ning witnessed what Hua Xin had done, and could no longer restrain his sigh and disappointment. When Hua Xin came back, Guan Ning took out a knife, cut the mat in half in front of Hua Xin, and announced sadly and decisively, "Our aspirations and tastes are so different. From now on, like this cut straw mat, we are no longer friends. "

True friends should be based on common ideological basis and goals, common pursuit and common progress. If there is no tacit understanding of the inner spirit, only superficial intimacy, such friends can't really communicate and understand, and they lose the meaning of being friends.
