Analysis of stupefied chicken

This is the origin of stupefied chicken.

Zhuangzi thinks that being stupefied is not really stupid, but just watching it, in fact, you can fight, you can fight and you can scare off the chickens.

lively and arrogant chickens are not the best.

The chicken that looks like a wood with condensed eyes is the master of Wulin. It is unnecessary to make moves, so that the enemy can run away. Wooden chickens are hard to come by, and chicken farmers know that. Wulin experts are hard to find, and people who walk in the Jianghu know it. Looking at it like a wooden chicken, this is the realm pursued by cockfighting. It's not arrogance, it's not arrogance, and in the end it's stupidity. (Huang Mingjian)

People often use the derogatory term "stupefied" to describe a person who is somewhat dull and stupid. However, the original meaning of stupefied chicken has nothing to do with the current usage, but it is a commendatory term.

stupefied chicken comes from Zhuangzi Dasheng, which was originally a fable. The story is: Because Qi Xuanwang likes cockfighting, a man named Ji Huizi specially trained cockfighting for Qi Xuanwang. Ten days later, the king of Qi asked Ji Huizi whether he had trained well, and Ji Huizi replied that he had not. The chicken looked aggressive on the surface, but in fact it had no confidence. Ten days later, the king of Qi asked again, and Ji Aizi said that it was not enough, because when he saw the shadow of other chickens, he immediately became nervous, indicating that he still had aggressive psychology.

after another 1 days, the king of qi couldn't bear to ask again, but he couldn't, because Ji Xunzi thought the chicken still had some bright eyes and momentum. After another 1 days, Ji Xunzi finally said that it was almost enough. It was a bit dull and quiet, and it looked like a wooden chicken, indicating that it had entered a perfect spiritual realm. King Xuan put the chicken into the chicken farm. As soon as the other chickens saw this stupefied cockfighting, they turned around and ran away. Being stupefied is not really stupid, just looking at it, but actually it has a strong fighting capacity. It seems that the wooden cockfighting doesn't have to attack at all, which makes other cockfighting run away. Visible, cockfighting. The highest realm is stupefied.

Zhuangzi's fable is very interesting, and at the same time it expresses profound philosophy, which makes people think of what the ancients said: great wisdom is foolish, great skill is clumsy, and great courage is timid. In Zhuangzi's view, people with great wisdom may be dull, while people with great skills look awkward. People who are really brave are often misunderstood by others as timid. However, if they are really in an extraordinary situation, these people can often show extraordinary abilities. Through this fable, Zhuangzi may be explaining that the opposite poles are close to each other at a certain height, which is the unique dialectical thinking of Taoism.

A man goes to propose marriage, and the woman's parents: Please introduce yourself. A said: I have 1 million; B said: I have a mansion worth 2 million; Parents are very satisfied. Just ask C, what do you have at home? C: I have nothing but a child in your daughter's belly. AB is speechless and left.

the important revelation of this matter: the core competitiveness is not money and houses, but people who have their own in key positions.
