The Measuring Tap #52: Zechuan Picks Tea
As Zechuan and Layman Pang were picking tea, the layman said, "The universe doesn't contain my body - do you see me?" Zechuan said, "Anyone but me might have answered you." The layman said, "Having questions and answers is normal." Zechuan paid no attention. The layman said, "Didn't you find my question strange just now?" Zechuan still paid no attention. The layman shouted and said, "Unmannerly fellow - wait 'till I tell someone with clear eyes about all this." Zechuan picked up a tea basket and went back.
Xuedou said, "Zechuan only knows how to secure the border - he is unable to live together and die together. At that time he should have pulled down his turban; who would dare call him Layman Pang?"
assin9 commentary: Zechuan falls immediately into "anybody but me..." setting himself aside. Big whoops! How many of us are guilty of the same? I can't be the only one!
assin9 appreciatory verse: Securing the borders doesn't feed the people.
If you do not break bread with the rest of us,
you will go hungry.
You cant drink all that tea anyway.
