The places his hand touched, His shoulder leaned against, His foot stepped on, His knee pressed upon, Came apart with a sound. He moved the blade, making a noise That never fell out of rhythm. It harmonized with the Mulberry Woods Dance, Like music from ancient times. Duke Wen Hui exclaimed: "Ah! Excellent! Your skill has advanced to this level?" "What I follow is Tao, The cook puts down the knife and answered: Which is beyond all skills. "When I started butchering, What I saw was nothing but the whole ox. After three years, I no longer saw the whole ox. "Nowadays, I meet it with my mind Rather than see it with my eyes. My sensory organs are inactive While I direct the mind’s movement. "It goes according to natural laws, Striking apart large gaps, Moving toward large openings, Following its natural structure. "Even places wher tendons attach to bones Give no resistance, Never mind the larger bones! "A good cook goes through a knife in a year, Because he cuts. An average cook goes through a knife in a month, Because he hacks. "I have used this knife for nineteen years. It has butchered thousands of oxen, But the blade is still like it’s newly sharpened. "The joints have openings, And the knife’s blade has no thickness. Apply this lack of thickness into the openings, And the moving blade swishes through, With room to spare! "That’s why after nineteen years, The blade is still like it’s newly sharpened. "Nevertheless, every time I come across joints, I see its tricky parts, I pay attention and use caution, My vision concentrates, My movement slows down. "I move the knife very slightly, Whump! It has already separated. The ox doesn’t even know it’s dead, and falls to the ground like mud. "I stand holding the knife, And look all around it. The work gives me much satisfaction. I clean the knife and put it away." Duke Wen Hui said: "Excellent! I listen to your words, And learn a principle of life." +++++++++++ http://foodworld001.blogspot.com/p/new-year-cake-new-year-cake-is-made-of.html?m=1 Pao means Chef. Ding is the name of a famous chef. Jie means carve up. Niu means an ox. So the translation of this word should be "Chef Ding is Carving Up an Ox". The story is recorded in a Chinese philosophy book Zhuangzi (book). It says Chef Ding was butchering an ox for King Wen Hui. His skill was perfect and the King asked why he was so good. Chef Ding answered "I have been using my knife to carve up for 19 years. When I see the ox, I see it by my mind. In my mind, the ox is made up with different joints. My work is to separate the joints more than carve an ox." The meaning of this story is there is lots of complex things in the world. If we study hard and practice hard, finally, we will get the secret of how to do it perfectly. In addition, when we deal with the difficulties start from the details(joints), the work will be easier. +++++++++ http://lang-8.com/1752601/journals/125465851179751758943247092127064248016 Chinese idiom of the day - 庖丁解牛 (Practice makes perfect) One day, the king ordered a cook surnamed Ding to slaughter an ox. The cook had a dancer's movement, and the sound of cutting just like music. The king asked Ding how could he achieve that.
