    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(1)Which one of the following statements is Not correct?
