The Original Translation of Zhuangzi's Autumn Water

Autumn rain comes with the season, and thousands of streams meet the Yellow River. The current on the river suddenly widened, and from the distance between the two banks and the sandbar, it was impossible to tell whether it was a cow or a horse. So Hebo, the God of the Yellow River, gloated and thought that all the beauty in the world was in himself.

He followed the current eastward to the North Sea. He looks east, but he can't see the end of the water.

At this time, Hebo changed his arrogant face, looked at the ocean, and sighed to the God of the North Sea: "As the saying goes,' After listening to many truths, I thought that no one can match myself'." That means me. Moreover, I have heard that some people despise Confucius' knowledge and Boyi's righteous act. At first, I didn't believe it. Now I have witnessed your infinity. It's not good if I don't come to you. I'll always be laughed at by people who have the means. "

When autumn water comes, the sea is full of rivers. There is no dispute between the two cliffs. Therefore, James Hope was pleased with himself and took the beauty of the world as his own. Downstream to the east, as for the North Sea. Look east, but you can't see the water. Then suddenly, Hebo turned and looked at the ocean, sighing: "There is a saying in the wild:' He who knows everything thinks he is not himself', and I am right. And I smell of Zhong Ni, and those who despise Boyi will believe me. Today, I saw that it was difficult for my son to be poor. If I don't go to my son's door, I will be in danger. My parents laugh at generous families. "
