At the beginning of "There are Fish in the North", I imagined a particularly large aquatic animal. The author wrote: "There is a kind of fish named Kun in the Northern Ghost. I don't know how big it is, but it is thousands of miles away. " The author is not imagining things out of thin air, and his imagination has a natural basis. The ocean is very big, there may be many aquatic animals, and then it will become a giant bird called Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many miles, flew angrily, and his wings hung like clouds from the sky. "The strangeness of Zhuangzi's imagination is amazing.
Next, I talked with the students about the Enlightenment. "It's a bird, and shipping will migrate to Nanming. ..... Peng Zhi moved to Nanming, and the water hit three thousand miles. The climber went to Wan Li nine times and went to rest in June. " "Wild horses, dust and creatures are blowing each other with interest." In the process of analysis, children's imagination was opened. Some people say that Kun Peng is good at relying on external forces, the power of the wind, the recoil of the sea and the movement of the sea. Another child saw that Kun Peng was good at seizing opportunities with the wind in June. Some people say that Kun Peng conforms to the laws of nature, so he flies freely.
Talking about feelings, some people say that water can carry a boat and also overturn it. Some people say that everything should go with the flow. Others say never get carried away, because you are always strong. It is also said that Qin Shihuang ruled the country because of the strength of the army and advisers. Others said Newton's words: I succeeded because I stood on the shoulders of giants.
"On the day of gray, its primly evil? Far away and everything is extremely evil? It has also been seen, and if it is, it has disappeared. " This sentence means that everything will be limited and the understanding of the outside world is incomplete, so we should always be modest and cautious.
This class ended in a small talk. Fish in the Northern Ghost is just an excerpt. It stands to reason that you have to read the full text systematically before you are qualified to comment on the fish in the north. Maybe my students and I misinterpreted Zhuangzi's original intention in this analysis.
