Huizi said: "you are not a fish, how do you know the happiness of fish?" Chuang Tzu said, "if you are not me, how can you know that I don't know the happiness of fish?" Huizi said, "I'm not you, of course I don't know you; you're not a fish, and you can be absolutely sure that you don't know fish's happiness." Chuang Tzu said, "let's follow the previous words. What you said just now, "how do you know the happiness of fish?" is that you already know that I know the happiness of fish and ask me, while I know the happiness of fish on the haoshui bridge. "
