Handan toddler classical Chinese

Handan toddler, from Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi has high literary value, and its writing style is bold, imaginative, magnificent and mysterious. It is a typical work of pre-Qin philosophers.

Handan is a toddler in classical Chinese. I don't know how Fu Shouling studied in Handan. Without national strength, I lost my way and went straight to my ear.

Note: ① Past: Once upon a time, past.

② Zeng: What is this equivalent to? Is it? , meaning the same? But? .

3 as if: roughly, roughly.

4 old steps: the original walking steps.

⑤ Crawl (P? f？ ): Crawl.

During the Warring States Period, there was a young man in Yan State. He heard that people in Handan, the capital of Zhao State, are very graceful. They walk slowly, smartly, elegantly, and have a particularly beautiful posture. So the young people of Yan decided to go to Zhao to learn the walking posture of Handan people. Despite the opposition of his family, he came to Handan all the way with the travel expenses, hoping to learn the walking style of Handan people.

He came to the street and looked at the crowds coming and going, dumbfounded, and didn't know how to take a step. At this time, a man approached. His age was almost the same as that of the young man in Yan State. The way he walked was really enviable. So when the man passed by, the young man of Yan followed him and imitated him. The man walked with his left foot, Yan's young man walked with his left foot, Yan's young man walked with his right foot, and Yan's young man walked with his right foot. Carelessly left and right in a mess, making him very nervous. How can he care about any posture? Seeing that the man walked farther and farther, the young people in Yan couldn't keep up, so they had to go back to their original place. Then he stared at an older man, and he followed others step by step to learn to walk, causing people in the street to stop and watch, and some even covered their mouths and laughed. After a few days, he was so tired that his back ached and his legs ached, but he never learned his lesson.

Young people in Yan think that the reason for not learning well must be their old posture and footwork, so they are determined to get rid of the old habit of walking and learn to walk from scratch, so they must master the footwork of Handan people.

However, after several months in a row, the young people in Yan became worse and worse. Not only did they not learn to walk in Handan, but they also forgot how to walk in the past. Seeing that all the travel expenses had been spent, he found nothing. He was depressed, so he had to go home. But he forgot how he used to walk. He can't walk. Helpless, Yan youth had to crawl back on the ground, which was very embarrassing.

Mechanical learning seems undesirable. Instead of learning from others, you lost yourself. It's really unnecessary.
