In the past, Zhuang Zhoumeng was a butterfly, lifelike, I don't know Zhou Ye. If you suddenly feel it, you will suddenly feel it again. I wonder if Zhou Zhimeng is a butterfly and? Dream butterfly Zhou he? Zhou and butterfly must be separated, which is materialization.

Zhuang Zhou Mengdie 2006-11112: 33 Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, Zhuang Zhou is lucky; Butterfly dreams of Zhuang Zhou, and butterfly's misfortune is also.
Zhuangzi's Butterfly Dream has a charming beauty of deformation, expressing the earliest dream of alienation in the history of human thought. Butterflies symbolize the boldness and innocence of human nature. The butterfly of dreams freed Zhuangzi from secular oppression and imprisonment, floated in the world and lived in the free Garden of Eden. Become a butterfly, like climbing a mountain, is the return of human nature and the ardent dream of all people in the world through the ages.
For a long time, the allusion of "Zhuang" has been recorded in many books, but I think the passage of "Zhuangzi's drum and basin become the Tao" in Feng Menglong's Warning is particularly wonderful. Originally, the book focuses on Zhuangzi not only not crying after his wife died, but also sitting proudly on the ground, "singing with drums and pots". Later, it leads to a wonderful and mysterious conversation about Zhuangzi's life and death, to the effect that the process from death to life is just like the four seasons. At this moment, my wife has returned to nature and is sleeping in the arms of heaven and earth, while I am crying, which is not only unwise but also unnecessary, so I sing for her. "
Zhuangzi's quip is of course well-founded, and "drums and pots sing together" is also after "Zhuang Zhou Meng Die". Zhuang Zi was already a famous sage when he studied under Lao Zi. Laozi is the ancestor of Taoism, whose surname is Li Minger and the word is Bo Yang. Because Bai Yang was born with white hair, he was called Lao Zi.
Zhuangzi likes sleeping during the day, and often dreams that he becomes a butterfly and dances among the flowers in the garden. When he woke up, he felt that his arms could fly like wings, which was strange. One day, he told Lao Zi the book Yi in his spare time. Laozi is a great sage. He knows the past lives of man and points out that Zhuangzi's previous life was a white butterfly. From then on, Zhuangzi was broad-minded, wise and enlightened, and regarded everything as flowing water.
In fact, from a rational point of view, this is of course unrealistic. However, when Zhuangzi was lying on the straw mat dreaming that he had become a butterfly, he asked a strange question about the boundary between dream and sleep: "I wonder if Zhou's dream is a butterfly?"? Is the butterfly's dream a week? " Zhuangzi's profound outlook on life has been profoundly revealed. Because he learned from Laozi and had a firm mind, he was similar to the Buddhist nirvana theory in cognition. In his view, everything is equal, and the right or wrong of cognition and nature are relative, which is caused by people's selfish prejudice. The dream is waking up, waking up is a dream, everything from the beginning, back to one. Therefore, Zhuang and butterfly, dream and consciousness transform and penetrate each other, and finally become one integrated mass. Zhuangzi is connected with butterflies by Zhuang; The aesthetic experience of the integration of things and me makes people appreciate the great situation of materialization.
Although Zhuangzi himself dreamed of butterflies, he insisted on the saying that "a real person in ancient times never dreams when sleeping". Such a real person is probably unique in the world. In later generations, people often talk about dreams, but most of them express their thoughts or wishes through dreams. For example, in novels of the Tang Dynasty, Sleeping in a Pillow by Shen Jiji and Conan's Satrap Dream by Zuo Li all describe the impermanence and unpredictability of life, giving people a gray sadness.
Later, I read "Great Wisdom of Buddhism in China" written by Mr. Hong Pimo. There is an interesting description of dreams in the book. He said that there is a wonderful saying in the Quotations of the Zen Master: "Yesterday, the dream said Zen, and today Zen said dreams. Dream about the present when you dream, and dream about yesterday when you say it. Close your eyes yesterday, open your eyes today. People always listen in their dreams, and Yunmen says love and love again. "
Later, another passage in the quotation is even more incisive: "The third generation of Buddhas said dreams, the sixth generation of ancestors said dreams, and the old monks in the world said dreams, that is, today is wonderful and happy, and the old people said dreams in their dreams. Suddenly, a great man who didn't measure himself woke up from a dream, only to believe that the third generation of Buddhas didn't talk about dreams, the sixth generation of ancestors didn't talk about dreams, and the old monks in the world didn't talk about dreams. Why, dreams and senses are integrated, words and silence are integrated, and words and nothingness are integrated. "
Of course, the dream mentioned by Buddhism means that the world is illusory and life is like a dream. Only by teaching people to stay out of it, not to be greedy or afraid, can they extricate themselves from their dreams.
Austrian psychoanalyst Freud published "Analysis of Dreams" in 1900. It seems that dreams are a reflection of people's subconscious, or a repressed desire, and there is a sense of "original sin" in his theory. His analysis of dreams makes people feel dull and lifeless. But in Zhuangzi's butterfly dream, it is full of joy and longing for light. Life is like a butterfly dancing on the grass. The real "I" is a alienated, narrow and distorted false self, while the "I" of Mengdie is an absolute, open and free true self. Therefore, Zhuangzi's Butterfly Dream is a cantabile, a romantic nocturne, a colorful passage and a Beethoven-style "Ode to Joy".
The illusion between man, fox and ghost in Pu Songling's Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio and the absurdity of man becoming a big beetle in Kafka's Metamorphosis are also typical examples of "alienation and deformation" in literature. Although many of Pu Weng's works have happy endings, his works sometimes show a sense of shock and fear when they are alienated, such as the most distinctive painting. However, Zhuangzi's Butterfly Dream has a charming beauty of deformation, which expresses the earliest dream of alienation in the history of human thought. Butterflies symbolize the unrestrained and innocent side of human nature. In Zhuangzi's time, flowers of evil and bitter fruits spread all over the world. Wealth, power, ambition and greed have become irresistible temptations, just like Pandora's box, eroding human fragile body and mind. The butterfly of dreams, however, got rid of the oppression and imprisonment of the world, floated and lived independently in the free Garden of Eden. Become a butterfly, like climbing a mountain, is the return of human nature and the ardent dream of all people in the world through the ages. Therefore, it is a misunderstanding that people say that Zhuangzi's thoughts are decadent. Isn't the charming Butterfly Dream full of optimistic and beautiful aura?
Therefore, in contrast, I like Zhuangzi's Butterfly Dream best, despite the causal relationship between past and future generations and some decadent sighs about "life is like a dream", because it gives people an optimistic outlook on life that is not afraid of difficulties. No matter what kind of frustrations and setbacks life encounters, no matter what kind of disasters and dangers life experiences, we can all make a beautiful "butterfly dream" like Zhuangzi's "drum-basin song".
