📜 原文 Original Text
「纪渻子为王养斗鸡。十日而问：「鸡已乎？」曰：「未也，方虚憍而恃气。」……十日又问。曰：「几矣。鸡虽有鸣者，已无变矣，望之似木鸡矣，其德全矣。」」 ——《庄子·达生》

📖 释义 Annotation
「纪渻养鸡」是「呆若木鸡」的完整寓言。纪渻子训练斗鸡分四个阶段：虚憍恃气→犹应向景→疾视盛气→木鸡德全。从浮躁好斗到沉静如木，从外在的气焰到内在的德全——这是一个从凡俗到超凡的修行过程。
"Ji Shengzi raises a fighting cock" — the complete parable behind "dumb as a wooden rooster." Four training stages: arrogant and reactive → still responsive to stimuli → glaring with fierce energy → wooden stillness with complete virtue. A journey from restlessness to transcendence.
💡 当代启示 Modern Application
真正的强者不是气焰嚣张的人，而是沉静如水的人。从浮躁到沉静的修炼过程，是任何领域通往大师之路的必经阶段。
The truly strong are not the fierce but the still. The journey from restlessness to calm is the necessary path to mastery in any field.
