Did Duke Zhou dream of butterflies, or did butterflies dream of seeing Duke Zhou?

Zhuang Zhou Mengdie: The language comes from Zhuangzi's "On Everything": "In the past, Zhuang Zhou Mengdie was a butterfly, lifelike. I don't know what day it is. If you suddenly feel it, you will suddenly feel it. I wonder if Zhou Zhimeng is a butterfly? What is Hu's dream for Zhou He? There must be a difference between Zhou and Hu (butterfly). This is called materialization. " Zhuangzi used this to illustrate the idea that all things are one and all things are equal. Later, scholars used it to instruct people's confused dreams and fickle things. For example, Lu You's poem "Winter Night" says: A cup of poppy is a slave, and butterflies in Zhuang Zhou are both empty. "

Zhuang Zhou dreamed that he had become a butterfly. He was relaxed and comfortable. At this time, I completely forgot that I was Zhuang Zhou. I woke up for a while and felt very surprised and confused about myself or Zhuang Zhou. Think carefully, I wonder if Zhuang Zhou dreamed of becoming a butterfly, or did the butterfly dream of becoming Zhuang Zhou?

This story is generally called Zhuang. In the eyes of ordinary people, what a person sees and feels when he is awake is real, and dreams are all illusions and unreal. Zhuangzi doesn't think so. Although, waking is a realm, dreams are another realm, and the two are different; Zhuang Zhou is Zhuang Zhou, and butterflies are butterflies. They are different, too. But in Zhuang Zhou's view, they are just a phenomenon, a form and a stage in the Tao movement.

A simple story not only shows a dreamlike attitude towards life, but also reveals the metaphysical "Tao" and the metaphysical relationship between Zhuang Zhou and butterflies. Everything in matter, though ever-changing, is only the materialization of Tao. Zhuang Zhou and butterfly are essentially Tao, and there is no difference. This is the so-called "Wuqi". * * * This question is unclear, hehe.
