Synopsis

The book tells that Taoism is a religion native to China and has an extremely rich collection of classics, among which the "Nanhua Sutra" is an important one. "Nanhua Zhenjing" is "Zhuangzi". The annotated edition by Guo Xiang of the Jin Dynasty paid attention to the meaning and theory, and greatly developed Zhuangzi's thoughts. It was very popular. The sparse edition written by Cheng Xuanying of the Tang Dynasty focused on the historical facts and allusions, names of people and places, and the pronunciation and meaning of words in "Zhuangzi". It also included chapters and sentences, which was more detailed than the annotated edition of Guo Xiang.

We should not be overly constrained and should be free to develop. This reminds me of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer". Tom in it is also a naughty child, but he also has his own nature and adventurous spirit. This book, like "Commentary on the Nam Hwa Sutra", made me understand that we should respect everyone's individuality.

Before Decentralization, the Eldest Daughter of a Capitalist Emptied Her Property and Ran Away to Hong Kong Overnight.

I want to read a book like "You raid my house and I go to Xiangjiang to pick up money." After being maliciously reported, I was forced to empty my belongings and run away overnight. You ransacked my house, and I went to Xiangjiang to pick up the money. Is that okay?
