The seven chapters in "Zhuangzi" were written by Zhuangzi himself. The animals, plants, and inanimate creatures in it can all speak, have emotions, and have thoughts; saints, monarchs, and historical celebrities are all ridiculed, ridiculed, and mercilessly ridiculed. Viewed separately, it is a literary passage with short stories and big principles; taken together, it is a philosophical drama with rich characters and climaxes. Due to Zhuangzi's unique writing style, the words and meanings of the seven chapters are extremely difficult to understand. This book is the result of the author's 40 years of research on Zhuang studies. Based on a precise translation, the seven chapters of "Zhuangzi" are interpreted word for word and sentence by sentence. The numerous language mechanisms and secret codes laid out by Zhuangzi in the form of fables are deciphered one by one, just like Sherlock Holmes, not letting go of every doubt and detail: What is the identity and origin of the character who appears, and what is the meaning of the name? What conflicts are there between the characters who appear, between them and the characters behind the scenes who don't appear, and between the characters behind the scenes? What are the levels of surface meaning of the character's words (up to seven levels), what is the implication, and what is the unspoken word? What are the connections between these words, scenes, and the surrounding words, scenes, and even real historical events? What meaning does Zhuangzi want to express? Through such layer-by-layer and meticulous interpretation, Zhuangzi's context is restored and the whole picture of Zhuang's studies is assembled, so that every reader can appreciate this seven-layered pagoda-like miracle of Chinese literature, philosophy, and wonders of human thinking and language.

Wang Yongbin, whose courtesy name was Yishan and known as Mr. Yishan, experienced five periods in his life: Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang, Xianfeng and Tongzhi. He didn't like the imperial examination, so he was awarded the title of Gongsheng Examination very late, and became a Xiuzhilang, and later he was a candidate for teaching. He studied extensively throughout his life and was diligent in writing. He mentioned the origin of this book at the beginning of "Night Talk around the Stove": Wailing around the stove on a cold night is the fun of the Tian family. Isn't it a wasted night to be silent or to laugh and have fun? I was a barely literate peasant, and when I got together with my family in the evening to roast sweet potatoes over a charcoal fire, I had an idea and told my son about it. I asked my son to write it down and save it, titled "Night Talk Around the Fire". He described a rather warm scene: at the end of the year and in the cold weather, he and his family gathered around the fire to talk at night, while roasting sweet potatoes, he told his children and grandchildren what he had gained and felt in life. Perhaps it is this atmosphere that sets the natural and friendly tone of the book. It's not a sermon or a nonsense article, it's just an elder telling you his philosophy of life. This philosophy is Confucian, literati, rural, and the most Chinese.
