If I were to write a middle school Chinese language textbook, I would replace "Xiao Yao You" with "Ren Jian Shi."
It seems that people's interest in Zhuangzi is always keen on his literary talent and sophistry. The speculative colors of Kunpeng, dreaming of butterflies, and the argument of 'you are not a fish' all make one yearn for this romance.
Zhuangzi's way of dealing with the world, the so-called true philosophy of life, is hidden within the classical texts.
We learn too much about literature and too little about philosophy, politics, and business. Moreover, we often misunderstand literature as philosophy, which is a childish romanticism.
The framework of "humanities" is so broad that most advocates of the humanities are losing sight of the essence, drifting further away from wisdom, and forming a kind of nihilistic pseudo-enlightenment.
