杨大

杨大 is the resurrected skull figure in [[QiSi|《起死》]] as discussed by 75.故事新编：骷髅被复活后会感激庄子吗？. Once revived by [[Zhuangzi|庄子]], he does not become grateful or spiritually converted. He asks where his clothes, baggage, and umbrella went, then demands compensation.

The episode uses 杨大 to bring abstract philosophy down to survival. His refusal to accept [[QiWuLun|《齐物论》]] language turns the story away from mystical enlightenment and toward responsibility, poverty, police power, and Instrumental Belief Critique.
