Xuan Chu said: "But if life is not trapped by reality, how can you think about it? Even if you can think about it, how can you not be confused! ”

Even if you are not trapped, but you are born to eat with your mouth open, no matter what, it costs money to eat, it costs money to survive, and if you don't have this money, how can you live?

The young man in white smiled and said, "Hehe, hasn't Princess Zichen heard of Huangliang's dream?" ”

Xuan Chu said: "I heard that I have heard of it, but there are no such beautiful things in real life, people always have to eat, always have to live well, always have to see a doctor, if you go desperately, just for the sake of cultivation, you don't have to worry about anything else." But who will feed and drink for yourself? ”

Not to mention anything else, that is, it costs a lot of money to eat, drink, live and travel, so how can people see it?

The young man in white said with a smile: "Huangliang Dream, also known as "The Pillow in the Pillow", is the work of Shen Jiji in the Tang Dynasty, let's take a look at this story first:

In the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the old Lu Gong passed through Handan, and in the mansion on the road, there was a young Lu Sheng, who stopped at the same house. The owner steamed the sorghum and waited for it to be ripe. Lu Bujue sighed, asked the public, and said that he was in distress in his life. The public took the pillow in the bag to grant Lu, saying: "The pillow should be honored, and it will be as you wish." "I bowed my head, but I felt that I was in the pillow and went to his home. Not a few on the stage of the pavilion, in and out of the generals, fifty or sixty years, the descendants are all listed, the glory is incomparable. Shang Shuyun: "The minister is more than 80 years old, with three years of experience, empty and deep grace, and never resigns to the sundae." "The eve of his death. Lu Sheng was understretched, Lu Weng was beside him, and the sorghum was not yet ripe. Sheng Xie said: "This gentleman is so suffocating that he dares not to be taught." "Say goodbye.

Xuan Chu said: "Could it be that the story I heard is different from what you said? ”

The young man in white smiled and said, "Hehe, the young Lu Sheng's life is prosperous, but it is just a pillow of yellow sorghum. The real experience in the dream suddenly appears illusory after waking up, and the long life in the dream is just unripe after waking up. Compared with the real life of a person, a pillow of yellow sorghum is extremely short, but compared to Zhuangzi's "thousand years old" and "ten thousand years", isn't a person's life also extremely short? Lu Sheng spent his life in a dream, when he woke up from a dream of a pillow of yellow sorghum, he was also freed from the attachment to reality/the present world, so he sighed before the dream and thanked Lu Gong for extinguishing his desire to pursue wealth and nobility after the dream, and without the desire to seek outside, the distress of life was dissolved. The sense of time, the sense of dreams, and the sense of transcendence and liberation after realizing that dreams are unreal, indeed inherit the meaning of dreams in "Zhuangzi". ”

Chu Chu said: "Don't you pursue excessive wealth? That proves that we still have to pursue food, drink, housing and transportation. ”

Fairy in Red: "If Huangliang Dream mainly talks about dreams in the long-term period of time, then Nanke Dream talks about dreams in terms of the size of space. Nan Ke Meng, also known as "The Biography of Nan Ke Taishou", is the work of Li Gongzuo in the Tang Dynasty, let's take a look at this story first:

Chun Yu Di, home Guangling, there is ancient acacia in the south of the house. Drinking heavily under it, due to drunkenness, the two friends helped the life to return, and lay in the east.

Dream Er's purple-clothed messenger said: "King Huai'an is invited. "Born with the second envoy on the car, referring to the ancient acacia, into a hole. The inscription of the Zhumen of the city is "Dahuai Anguo". There is a ride paging and saying "the horse descends", leading the birth to ascend to the palace, see a person dressed in plain clothes, wear hairpins and beads, and make the life worship the king. He said: "Before the supreme order, Xu Lingnu Yaofang served the gentleman. "There are dozens of fairy girls, candle guidance, golden green step barriers, exquisite constantly. To one door, the number of Xiuyi Palace, a female princess of the Golden Branch, like a fairy, a gift, love and righteousness.

Wang said: "Wunanke County ignores the political affairs, and Qu Qing guards it." "There is a division out of the gold and jade splendor, the concubine chariot and horse, Shi Cai Guangqu, the princess line, the lady of the ring said: "Chun Yu Lang is just good wine, the way of a woman, the most important thing is to be supple, and you are good at doing good deeds." "Born in Rida County, there are officials and monks who come to music. Get off the car, provincial customs, check the suffering, Dali in the county, where twenty years. The people set up a shrine, the king gave the lord a tin land, ranked in Taifu, gave birth to five boys and two girls, and was prosperous. The princess died of illness, and asked for the funeral to go to the country, and the king and his wife were dressed and wept in the suburbs. Prepare a guard of honor to blow the feather and bury the princess in Panlonggang. Born with noble relatives, Weifu is flourishing. Someone on the table, Yun "Xuanxiang sees, the country is afraid, the capital is migrated, the temple collapses, and the matter is in the Xiao Wall." "The time is to discuss the extravagance. Wang was born because of his fate: "Riqing can temporarily return to the book, and when he sees his relatives, his grandchildren stay here, and he can't think of it." "The second messenger sent a hole.

Then, seeing the housekeeper was born in the court, the two guests were satisfied with the couch, the sun was not hidden in the west, and the wall was in the east. Because of the search with the two guests, see the hole under the hole and shine brightly, can accommodate a couch, there is an earthen ring for the shape of the city Guo Taidian, there are a number of ants, two big ants are winged Zhu Guan, it is the king of Huai'an. Another poor hole, straight up to the south branch, a swarm of ants gathered in it, that is, Nanke County. Another hole is bent like a dragon snake, and there is a small tomb with more than a foot, that is, Panlonggang also.

Life reminisces and sighs, and buries it. It is the evening storm, but when you look at its hole, you lose a group of ants, and you know what to do. "The country has great fear, and the capital has migrated." "It's a testament.

The fairy in red smiled: "Hahaha, Huai'an Guo in Chun Yu's dream is just a big locust tree at the door of his house, Nanke County, where he serves as the county guard, is just an anthill under the south branch of the locust tree, and others such as Xiuyi Palace and Panlonggang are nothing more than small places in the cave, but in the dream, the joys and sorrows of Chun Yudi's life happened in Huai'an Kingdom, it happened in Nanke County, he enjoyed the night of candles in the cave room of the princess in Xiuyi Palace, and buried his beloved wife in Panlonggang, and was loved by the people in Nanke County, He was also criticized by the current discussion in the court. When he awoke, the big world of the dream suddenly revealed its actual smallness: the locust tree and the anthill under the tree. ”

The young man in white said with a smile: "Moreover, this anthill that served as Nanke County in a dream is so vulnerable, and it disappeared after a storm." These depictions all have a metaphorical elongation: a person's life seems to be the whole of man, but in the larger context, it is small and insignificant; Moreover, human life and life are like ant colonies in Nanke's dream, which are fragile and indestructible. Sima Qian once lamented that human life is "like a white horse passing through a gap", "how different from ants", Nan Ke Dream allows the dreamer to start his life in the anthill, and the sense of life here is the same as Sima Qian's emotion, and the sense of life in "Zhuangzi" is also the same. ”

Hui Chu said: "Huangliang Dream and Nanke Dream are very famous, many poems are used to express the dream sense of life, such as the Song Dynasty Zhang Lei's poem "The ancient times disturbed the present, and the dream of Huangliang has returned", and the Song Dynasty Huangshang's poem "Don't make Nanke dream, Furong sleeps and rests", etc., express the sense of life of "life is like a dream", and this way of saying dreams and the feeling of life obviously come from the influence of "Zhuangzi". Other famous dreams, such as Dream of the Red Chamber, are imbued with Zhuangzi's sense of life, whether it is the way in which the true story (Zhen Shiyin) is concealed and the village dialect (Jia Yucun) is hypothetically spoken, or the specific plots in it. ”
