    阅读三:One day, The Lord of the Yellow River asked the God of the Northern Sea, “What is natural and what is man-made?”The God of the Northern Sea replied, “The oxen and the horses have four legs. That is what I consider to be natural. When the horses are constrained with harnesses (马具), and the oxen are pierced (穿刺) with rings—I would say that’s what I consider to be man-made. Hence it is said, ‘Try not to harm the naturalness with too much man-made manipulation; try not to bury your natural self with too much pursuit of fame and fortune; carefully guard the natural Way and do not lose it—this is what I call reverting to your True Nature.”( Adapted from James Legge’s The Chuang Tzu, p.123)阅读三(2)What’s the main implication of this fable?

Would you seriously make up your mind about what you want to do?"The Shadow replied, "I am just the shadow. I wait for the movements of something or someone else, and then I can follow up. And the very thing or the person that I wait for is also waiting for some other thing or person. A snake depends on its scales (鳞片) to crawl and a cicada depends on its wings to fly.
