Zhuang Zhou Mengdi
One day, Zhuang Zhou slept on the grass and had a dream. He dreamed that he had become a butterfly, flying among the flowers, collecting honey, his wings were one by one, his posture was light, his dance steps were beautiful, and he was so happy that he forgot that he was made by Zhuang Zhou.
Suddenly, the dream woke up, but the dream was still clearly imprinted in his mind. He got up and looked at himself, and then he thought about the things in his dream, and for a moment he was a little confused.
So, is it a person who dreams of becoming a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming of becoming a human being?
Butterfly-like people
I am a golden butterfly. One day, I fell asleep on the canola flowers, dreaming that I had become a human being, walked to the vast grassland, and watched my partner fly around. The rain wets the wings, but makes the floral fragrance clearer; the valley rain, although cold, makes the bright colors more magnificent.
When I was a butterfly, I didn't know I was so happy.
Have I ever encountered this bush of flowers? Or was this flower born because of me? Can I encounter it again? Or have I never bloomed? However, I knew that the flower had since imprinted on me.
"Every butterfly is the ghost of a flower from before, coming back to find itself." The reclusive woman, said her friend.
When I dreamed of being human, I realized this neglected happiness.
Butterflies that look for past lives become human beings in the tentacles of dreams; the body form is the stops of the stations of life.
People who know too much are tripped by their hearts and eyes, and they are wandering around in the calculations, and the wings that are not afraid of tapirs and do not understand life and death are flying among the most beautiful scenery.
I look forward to waking up from a dream and being a butterfly that conforms to happiness.
