Once a sea bird alighted in the suburbs of the Lu capital.The marquis of Lu escorted it to the ancestral temple, where he entertained it, performing the Nine Shao music for it to listen to and presenting it with the meat of the T’ai-lao sacrifice to feast on. But the bird only looked dazed and forlorn, refusing to eat a single slice of meat or drink a cup of wine, and in three days it was dead.This is to try to nourish a bird with what would nourish you instead of what would nourish a bird. If you want to nourish a bird with what nourishes a bird, then you should let it roost in the deep forest, play among the banks and islands, float on the rivers and lakes, eat mudfish and minnows, follow the rest of the flock in flight and rest, and live any way it chooses.A bird hates to hear even the sound of human voices, much less all that hubbub and to-do.Try performing the Hziench’ih and Nine Shao music in the wilds around Lake Tung-t’ing—when the birds hear it they will fly off, when the animals hear it they will run away, when the fish hear it they will dive to the bottom. Only the people who hear it will gather round to listen. . . . Lieh Tzu was on a trip and was eating by the roadside when he saw a hundred-year-old skull. Pulling away the weeds and pointing his finger, he said,“Only you and I know that you have never died and you have never lived.Are you really unhappy? Am I really enjoying myself ?” The seeds of things have mysterious workings. In the water they become Break Vine, on the edges of the water they become Frog’s Robe. If they sprout on the slopes they become Crow’s Feet.The roots of Crow’s Feet turn into maggots and their leaves turn into butterflies. Before long the butterflies are transformed and turn into insects that live under the stove; they look like snakes and their name is Ch’üt’o.After a thousand days, the Ch’üt’o insects become birds called Dried Leftover Bones.The saliva of the Dried Leftover Bones becomes Ssu-mi bugs and the Ssu-mi bugs become Vinegar Eaters.Yi-lo bugs are born from the Vinegar Eaters, and Huang-shuang bugs from Chiu-yu bugs. Chiu-yu bugs are born from Mou-jui bugs and Mou-jui bugs are born from Rot Grubs and Rot Grubs are born from Sheep’s Groom. Sheep’s Groom couples with bamboo that has not sprouted for a long while and produces Green Peace plants. Green Peace plants produce leopards and leopards produce horses and horses produce men. Men in time return again to the mysterious workings. So all creatures come out of the mysterious workings and go back into them again. —BW 44
Translation of Chuang Tzu with the Noise of the Shower Running Haven’t you heard of the suburb seabird that capitals and temples entertains with its meat and listing? Feasted-on bird looks dazed.Three days and it was dead. Don’t feed the bird what you would eat. Let it eat mud fish, minnows and the sound of human voices. You shall music in the wild. Fly off or dive to the fish and thrive. Or die. Eat by the roadside: a 400-year-old skull and finger that never died. Am I really enjoying myself? Mysterious slippers enjoy cow feet, rabbits and dragonflies. Bugs under the stove. Bug munches bug from rat nearby. Produce green peace plants, leopards produce horses, men.All creatures come out of works and go back again. —AC & JC 45
