Zhuangzi: Autumn Floods - Zhuangzi
476–221 BC
“Travelling with Huizi over a bridge on the Hao River, Zhuangzi said, ‘The fish is swimming at ease. This is how the fish enjoy themselves.’
Huizi said, ‘You are not a fish. How do you know the fish are enjoying themselves?’
Zhuangzi said, ‘You are not me. How do you know I don’t know about the fish?’”
