What is the original translation of Ren Gongzi Fishing?

The original translation of Ren Gongzi Fishing

Ren Gongzi made a big hook and a thick black rope, used fifty castrated cows as bait, squatted in Huiji, threw the hook to the East China Sea, and fished every day (seriously), waiting for a year without catching any fish. Later, a big fish ate the hook. It dragged the huge bait into the water and struggled vertically and horizontally to erect the back of the fin. The white waves were like mountains, and the sea water oscillated, making a sound like ghosts and gods, shocking thousands of miles. Ren Gongzi caught this fish, cut it into small pieces and pickled it into preserved fish. From the east of the river to the north of Cangwu, there was no one who did not eat enough of this fish.

Later, shallow lobbyists all marveled at this and told each other stories. (All) took fishing rods and fishing lines, went to ditches and shoals, and caught some small fish like giant salamanders and crucian carp. It is difficult for them to catch big fish. If you want to gain a high reputation with shallow theories, it is far from the lofty truth. Therefore, without seeing Ren Shi's style, it is impossible for them to govern politics (and) they are still far from it.

1. "Ren Gongzi Fishing" comes from "Zhuangzi. Foreign Things". Through this fable, Zhuangzi tells us that people with lofty ideals must give up before they can achieve something. If they want to achieve something big, they must be ambitious, keep going towards the set goals, persevere and work hard before they can reach the other side of victory.

2. Feeling

In real life, without a noble sage as a model, it is impossible for those who are shallow and crude to follow the example. So how can all people improve together? It's just that imitators should not just learn the form of saints, let alone be so complacent that they think they are saints because of their similarity. Instead, we should learn more knowledge to enrich ourselves, understand and then criticize the thoughts of saints to expand our knowledge.

3. Author;

Ren Gongzi is a huge hook (pronounced zi, black rope), and 5 pigs (pronounced jie, castrated cow) are used as bait. He crouches down and throws himself into the East China Sea, but he can't fish for years. The big fish have eaten it, pulling the huge hook and webbed (pronounced xian four tones, passing through the stuffing) without descending, raising it but courageously (pronounced qi two tones, passing through the fin), if Bai Bo is a mountain, the sea water vibrates, and the sound (pronounced mou two tones, equal) ghosts and gods are afraid of thousands of miles. If Ren Gongzi is a fish, he can stay away from it, and make his own fish to the east of the river and to the north of Cangwu.
