On usefulness

With his disciples, Zhuangzi (successor of Laozi, founder of the original Taoism.) saw a big tree at the foot of a mountain. The tree was quite spectacular standing by a stream, with a huge canopy covering a land of over ten mu (1 mu then is about 208 m 2 nowadays), like a gigantic umbrella. It was about one hundred chi (1 chi is about 23cm nowadays) in perimeter, thousands of zhang(1 zhang is 10 chi) in height, shooting up straight into the sky. Zhuangzi could not help asking the wood-cutter: “ Excuse me, sir, I just wonder why nobody has any intention to cut down such a tree for good wood, and let it here alone for thousands of years? ” The wood-cutter took a cold look at the tree: “ There's nothing strange here. This tree isn't good for wood at all. If I used it to make a boat, it would sink; to make a coffin, it would decay soon; to make a container, it would be easy to destroy; to make a door or window, it would take long time to dry; to make a pillar, easy to get rotten by worms. It's no good a tree for wood, and completely useless. While that's the right reason for its longevity here. ”
