    Reader note

    The highest form of wisdom lies in understanding the principles of life. Many people spend their lives busy and hardworking, yet achieve nothing in the end. This isn't due to a lack of effort, but rather a lack of understanding of the natural order. Zhuangzi tells a classic story in his book called "Butcher Ding Carving an Ox." While it appears to be about butchering an ox, it actually reveals profound truths about life, work, and survival. It perfectly aligns with our concepts of enlightenment, cause and effect, non-aggression, and non-interference—simple, straightforward, and easily understood by everyone. There was a cook named Butcher Ding who butchered an ox for the ruler. When he worked, his hands touched, his shoulders leaned, his feet stomped, and his knees struck, producing a beautiful, rhythmic sound, like dancing or music. Every movement was perfectly timed, without a trace of erratic force. The king, watching in awe, couldn't help but ask, "How can your skill be so extraordinary?" The butcher put down his knife, smiled, and said, "What I pursue isn't skill, but principle, the laws of nature. Skill is merely a byproduct." He explained that when he first learned to butcher oxen, all he saw was a complete ox, enormous and complex, and he didn't know where to begin. He could only hack and slash, just like an ordinary person. Back then, his knife would dull quickly, and like those ordinary cooks, he was putting in a lot of effort for little reward, and easily broke his knife. But after three years of practice, he could no longer see a complete ox. He no longer saw the ox's skin, flesh, and bones, but rather the natural texture of the ox's body—where the gaps were, where the tendons and bones were, where the joints were, and where he shouldn't touch them—all clearly understood. Now, he doesn't need to stare intently; he relies entirely on his mind to feel, cutting along the ox's natural structure, finding the gaps between the bones, never forcing his way through the areas where tendons and bones intersect. An ordinary cook needs to replace his knife every month because he only knows how to chop and cut, ignoring the cow's structure. Using brute force, the knife easily breaks. A better cook might replace his knife every year because he knows how to cut meat, but he doesn't understand how to cut along the grain. But the butcher's knife, used for nineteen years and having slaughtered thousands of cows, remained as sharp as if it had just been sharpened, without a single scratch. There are natural gaps between the bones and joints of a cow, and the blade is very thin, almost without thickness. Using a thin blade, following these gaps, without forceful clashes or resistance, allows for ample room to maneuver, so how could the knife break? Even with such skill, the butcher never became complacent. Whenever he reached a section where the bones and tendons intertwined, making it difficult to cut, he remained cautious, focused, and slowed his movements, gently cutting down the cow. Effortlessly, the entire cow would fall apart like a pile of dirt on the ground. After finishing, he wiped his knife, carefully put it away, unassuming and unpretentious, calm and composed. The king suddenly understood, saying, "After listening to your words, I understand the principles of health, conduct, and survival." Everything has its own laws; forcibly resisting them will only lead to suffering. A cow has its own physique, things have their own rules, and people have their own causes and effects. Without understanding these laws, forcing one's way forward, like an ordinary cook randomly chopping at a cow, no matter how hard one tries, will only result in a broken knife, exhaustion, and nothing accomplished. Every industry and every matter in this world has its own way; without understanding these laws, the harder one tries, the more miserable one becomes; following these laws, success can be achieved effortlessly. Furthermore, insight is not something learned; it is a skill given by heaven, an instinct to see through the laws. The butcher wasn't stronger or more hardworking than others; rather, he possessed insight, able to see through the essence of the ox and not be misled by its appearance. An ordinary person sees an ox as just an ox, but he sees its markings; an ordinary person sees a situation as just a spectacle, but an expert sees its intricacies. Understanding is the ability to see through the essence without being taught, to know what can be done and what cannot be touched, to go with the flow instead of resisting. Furthermore, everything has a cause and effect; forceful intervention will inevitably backfire. An ox's skeletal structure is its innate cause and effect; if you forcefully cut and break it, you are interfering with its nature, and the knife will break, and you will get tired. Others' lives have their own causes and effects, their choices have their own destinies; if you forcefully interfere, insist on changing others, insist on doing things your own way, you are going against the natural order, and in the end, you will not only fail to help others but also get yourself into trouble and suffer a backlash. It's like trying to chop a large bone with a knife—the knife will break, and your hand will be injured. This is cause and effect; you cannot force it. Truly wise people know to remain silent and not meddle in other people's business. The butcher never wrestled with the ox or clashed with the bones; he simply moved with the flow, quietly working his task, and once finished, he sheathed his knife and hid it away, without fanfare or boasting. The same applies to life: understanding others' choices, not pointing them out; seeing right from wrong in the world, not arguing; understanding cause and effect, not interfering. Too much talk invites trouble, meddling in others' affairs invites disaster; minding one's own business and guarding one's true nature is the greatest wisdom. The nail that sticks out gets hammered down; the more assertive, flamboyant, and eager to forcefully change everything, the more likely one is to stumble. Those who appear silent are not weak or incompetent, but insightful. They know that everything Heaven arranges has its reason; the paths others take have their causes and effects; and the affairs of the world are predetermined. By not being the first to stick one's neck out, not being a troublemaker, and by conforming to the laws of nature, everyone can live peacefully and happily. Like a pheasant in a swamp, though it has to walk many steps to find food and water, and its life isn't easy, it's free and would never want to be caged. Cages provide food and shelter, but they lose their nature and their freedom. Humans are the same. It's better to stay true to oneself and live according to one's nature than to be trapped by worldly desires and obsessions, to not force what doesn't belong to oneself, or to stubbornly forge paths against the natural order. Human life has an end, but the laws of nature have no end; the body will eventually perish, but the cycle of cause and effect continues forever. Even when the body is exhausted, the flame will continue to burn, endlessly. In one's lifetime, one doesn't need to pursue endless desires or forcibly interfere with countless people and things. Simply maintain one's own composure, follow the natural order, avoid being forceful, reckless, or interfering with the cause and effect of others, be content with the present, and conform to nature. This is how one preserves oneself, lives peacefully, and enjoys one's full lifespan. Understanding is fundamental, following the laws of nature is the way; do not interfere with cause and effect, do not be competitive or aggressive, remain silent, do not meddle in other people's business, and act in accordance with the natural order; only then can you achieve your goals.

    Synopsis of *The Iron-Lawed Censor*: The Great Cheng Dynasty governs the land with ironclad laws. The Censorate hangs like a sword of Damocles, with eight unyielding censors standing beneath the mythical beast Xie Zhi—and Shen Ye is the youngest and most "mad" of them all. He begins his investigation with a case of embezzlement, tearing away the veil of smuggling in a border town, unaware that he has stepped into a vast web of power struggles that has gripped the court for twenty years. Grand Secretary Lin Ruhai wields absolute power, the imperial authority is weak, and all those who have touched the truth have become corpses in a deep pit in the Taihang Mountains. But Shen Ye refuses to believe in this evil. He carries a blue edict unearthed from the pit—a relic of the founding emperor, "whoever holds this edict shall patrol on behalf of Heaven." He knocks open the Desheng Gate under the blades of the Imperial Guards, forces the Grand Secretary to kneel before the iron stele in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and uncovers the mystery of a divine weapon spanning generations of emperors in a thousand-year-old underground palace. From a border town embezzlement case to a secret underground palace capable of destroying a dynasty; from a lone, courageous censor's pursuit of a killer to three generations building a backbone of strength with their blood and flesh. This was a desperate battle fought by a mantis trying to stop a chariot, but also a relay race passed down through generations. "May those who come after have no regrets." He wasn't just investigating a case; he was investigating the backbone of Dacheng.
