The translation of Chuang Tzu and Hui Tzu swimming on the bridge is: Chuang Tzu and Hui Tzu were walking on the bridge and discussing the existence of fish. The original text was as follows: Chuang Tzu and Hui Zi were playing on the bridge of Haozhou. Chuang Tzu said,"A widower fish swimming leisurely is the joy of a fish." Huizi said,"The pleasure of the fish is to go out and play leisurely." Chuang Tzu said,"In the clear stream of my hut there is a fish whose name is Kun. The big kun has a head like a bush and a tail like a mustard. This is the fish's freedom." Huizi said,"I have never seen a fish who is happy, but only see the swimming bladder of the fish." Chuang Tzu said,"A widower fish goes out leisurely. In the clear stream of my hut there is a bird called Peng. The roc's wings are big, like clouds hanging from the sky, and its tail is like frost hanging from the ground. This is the bird's freedom. Is the bird free and unfettered?"

Zhuangzi and Huizi's Journey to Haoliang is a fable in the ancient Chinese novel Zhuangzi. The story is about Chuang Tzu and Keiko playing upstream. Chuang Tzu raised a philosophical question: "Are the fish happy?" Keiko replied,"The fish is happy." Chuang Tzu then asked,"Is the bird happy?" Keiko replied,"The bird is happy." Chuang Tzu raised the third question: "What do you think?" Keiko was speechless. Chuang Tzu said,"Your problem is that you only see what is in front of you but do not understand the true nature of things. Like fish, they live in the river, swimming freely, are they happy? But did they know that their life was allowed by the nature of the aquatic animals? Birds, they fly in the sky, singing freely, are they happy? But do they know that their life is allowed by the nature of birds? You only see the things in front of you, but you don't understand the true nature of things, so your horizons can't be broadened." The original text was as follows: Chuang Tzu and Hui Zi were playing on the bridge of Haozhou. Chuang Tzu said,"The fish are happy?" Huizi said,"The fish are happy."

People also take pleasure in his return." Translator: Chuang Tzu and Huizi are playing upstream. Chuang Tzu asked,"Are the fish happy?" Keiko replied,"The fish is happy." Chuang Tzu asked,"Are birds happy?" Keiko replied,"The bird is happy." Chuang Tzu asked,"What is a fly?" Keiko was speechless. Chuang Tzu said,"Fish just swim in the water and enjoy life freely. Are they happy?" But did they know that their life was allowed by the nature of the aquatic animals? Birds, they fly in the sky, singing freely, are they happy? But do they know that their life is allowed by the nature of birds? You only see the things in front of you, but you don't understand the true nature of things.

"Zhuangzi·Travel to the North" is one of the ancient Chinese philosophical classics. The original text comes from the book "Zhuangzi". The author is the philosopher Zhuangzi of the Warring States Period. In the form of a fable, the original text narrated Zhuangzi's views on the universe, life, and morality in a dialogue with Huizi. The following is a translation of the full text: A traveler from the north came to the south and saw a bird flying so high that it seemed to be able to fly freely in the sky. So he asked the bird,"why are you flying so high? Why are you flying so far?" The bird replied,"I want to fly to the mountains over there and stay there for a while to see the scenery of the south, feel the climate of the south, enjoy the delicacies of the south, and then return to the north to continue my journey." The man who traveled to the north was surprised. He said,"The climate in the south is so warm, the scenery in the south is so beautiful, and the food in the south is so delicious. Why do you want to leave the north and go to the south?" The bird replied," Although the mountains in the north are very high, the scenery is not beautiful. Although the climate in the north is cold, the air is not fresh. Although the food in the north is delicious, the quality is not very high. In contrast, the scenery in the south was beautiful but the air was not fresh, and the climate in the south was warm but the food was not delicious. So I'm going to leave the North and go to the South to find a more suitable way of life for me." "Why do you want to give up your old way of life to adapt to a new way of life?" The bird replied,"My old way of life was good for me, but I was not happy. My current way of life is bad for me, but I am happy." So I'm going to the south to find a new way of life to make myself happier." This story tells us that people should choose a lifestyle that suits them according to their own preferences and needs. We can't give up our original way of life to adapt to a new way of life just because someone else's way of life is different from ours. On the contrary, we should stick to our principles and beliefs and constantly look for a way of life that suits us to make ourselves happier and happier.

The original text and translation of Chuang Tzu's fishing in Pu River are as follows: Original text: Chuang Tzu was fishing in the Pu River. The king of Chu sent a gentleman to him, saying,"What is the purpose of your visit?" Chuang Tzu teased his attendants, saying,"I have heard that a divine turtle of Chu has been dead for three thousand years. This is naturally not catching or fishing." The Master said,"Please give it to me." Chuang Tzu took a turtle to fish and ate with the envoy. Translated: Chuang Tzu was fishing at the Pu River. The King of Chu sent a gentleman to ask him. Chuang Tzu provoked the people around him and said,"I heard that there is a divine turtle here that has been dead for three thousand years." This is just its natural lifespan and not something that was caught or fished up." The gentleman said,"I am willing to offer this turtle to you." Chuang Tzu took the turtle to fish and shared the food with his master.

Chuang Tzu said that the meaning of fish was "to turn into a bird and its name is Peng". The roc was a huge bird that could fly very high. According to the legends, the biggest feature of the roc was that it could transform from a fish body to a bird body and then into another roc. This ability to transform form was regarded as having supernatural power, so Chuang Tzu regarded Peng as a symbol of freedom and transcendence.

Zhuangzi was the short name of the ancient Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi. There were many fables in his works. The following are three of the more famous fables: 1 The Fable of the Immortal of Nanhua: It tells the story of a conversation between the Immortal of Nanhua and a person named Beiming Zi. In the story, the Immortal of Nanhua told Beiming Zi,"The reason why people are small is because they have aspirations; the reason why their aspirations are small is because they are selfless." If a man can keep his ambition in the world, he will not be small." This sentence tells us that if a person wants to achieve great things, he must maintain a noble ambition and selflessness is the key to achieving great things. [2. The Fable of the Thief Mandrill: It tells the story of a man named the Thief Mandrill who cheated others in order to get a chicken. In the end, he was discovered by others and the Thief Mandrill was punished for deceiving others.] This story tells us not to deceive others or we will eventually be punished. 3. The Fable of Carefree Wandering: It tells the story of a man named Zhuang Zi wandering freely in the water. In the story, Zhuang Zi was free and unfettered between mountains and rivers, communicating with birds, animals, plants and trees, and enjoying life freely without being bound by the secular world. This story tells us that we should pursue a free life and not be troubled by the shackles of the world.
