Joanne and Hugh were discussing a passage from an ancient Chinese philosophical text
The Zhuangzi is the richest and most intellectually challenging of all the texts of ancient Chinese philosophy, and it is full of stories which have been interpreted in a wide variety of ways over the subsequent two millennia
Summary
Dipping in Chinese waters pulled and pushed by Mo we see how Zhuangzi caught us like the happy fish we know we follow their flow words matching as they sort us. (The Chinese character itself suggests the idea of a root.) What Zhuangzi is arguably proposing to Huizi is that they return not just to the starting point of their argument but to the root experience (or perspective) from which the claimed knowing flows, an experience—of seeing fish swimming around— that the two of them shared in roaming together on the bridge.
