The young man in white smiled and said, "Hehe, Princess Zichen, when will you wake up from your dream?" ”

Chu Chu said, "Huh? How do you know I've said that? ”

The young man in white smiled: "Hahaha, because we once said this together, and now you can say it, it's normal, this has a reflection in your heart......"

Chu Chu said, "Oh, so that's ......"

The fairy in red said: "The butterfly dream not far after the Great Sage Dream continues the topic of dream fans and enlightenment. The butterfly dream is one of the most famous dreams in the Zhuangzi, and it is also a beautiful and profound dream. ”

Xuan Chu said happily: "Ah! Zhuang Zhou Mengdie: I know, but, uh, what is the specific situation? It's just that everyone knows, but they don't know what exactly this dream is about? ”

The fairy in red said: "The former Zhuang Zhou Dream is a butterfly, a lifelike butterfly, and he is self-proclaimed and ambitious, but he doesn't know Zhou." Oh Ran Jue, then Yu Ran Zhou also. I don't know that Zhou's dream is a butterfly? Butterfly Dream for Zhou Zhen? Zhou and butterflies must be separated, which is called materialization. ”

Chu said, "What does this mean? ”

The young man in white smiled: "When Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly, he thought he was a butterfly, and he didn't know that this was a person named Zhuang Zhou dreaming. When he woke up in a daze, at that moment, he was confused, he didn't know if Zhuang Zhou dreamed of butterflies, and at this moment Zhuang Zhou woke up, no longer a butterfly, or a butterfly was dreaming that the person named Zhuang Zhou was sleeping on the bed. Zhuangzi said that it can be asserted that Zhuang Zhou and butterflies are different existences, but it is difficult to determine whether Zhuang Zhou dreams of butterflies or butterflies and Zhuang Zhou, and it is very difficult to determine which is true. ”

The fairy in red said: "Contact the Great Sage Dream to see the butterfly dream, it can be said that the butterfly dream is a poetic commentary and pessimistic doubt of the Great Sage Dream, when Zhuang Zhoumeng is a butterfly and enjoys the freedom of butterflies fluttering, he is in the state of the so-called "Fang Qi Dream, I don't know its dream" in the Great Sage Dream, however, the Great Sage Dream seems to be more optimistic, and I believe that there can be a great awakening to realize the confusion of the big dream, and the butterfly dream made him fall into confusion again when Zhuang Zhou woke up: I don't know if Zhuang Zhou, who woke up on the couch, was a butterfly dream. The beautiful butterfly dream points out the difficulty of not being able to get out of the dream, and the meaning is extremely rich, as far as the "Zhuangzi" uses the metaphor of dream to refer to the confusion of life, it points out the difficulty of ultimate enlightenment: if life is like a dream, who can get out of life and out of the dream? ”

Xuan Chu said: "If life is like a dream, who can get out of life and out of dreams? ”

The fairy in red said: "Hehe, princess, people's life and meaning are constructed by people themselves, and people use ideological concepts and practical activities to turn themselves into "themselves", who can not be themselves? Although there will be differences between the meaning of life constructed by different people, the construction of being a human being is exactly the same. Therefore, Changwuzi will say that Qu Quezi and Confucius are in a dream, and his own comment is nothing more than a dream, that is, a dream in a dream. Although Nagagoko looks forward to "knowing the solution of the great sage after ten thousand lifetimes" and having "great enlightenment" to realize the "great dream", the butterfly dream points out the difficulties of "great enlightenment".

The young man in white said with a smile: "So far, the records of "dreams" in the pre-Qin classics before "Zhuangzi" have been simply cleaned up, from which it can be clearly seen that although the degree of superstition in dream-telling is gradually decreasing, and the rational use of dreams is gradually strengthening, in general, the dream before "Zhuangzi" basically does not have the form of dream-telling and dream-holding, and there are no other ways of dream-telling other than dream-telling and dream-holding. ”

Xuan Chu said: "This is the dream and enlightenment ......"

The fairy in red said: "The theory of all things is the most important chapter of Zhuangzi, and the great sage dream and butterfly dream of the theory of all things are also the key to Zhuangzi's dreaming, which opened Zhuangzi's dream telling method of using dream awareness as a metaphor for delusion. This method is repeated in other passages and becomes a basic way for Zhuangzi to tell dreams. For example, there is a dialogue between Yan Hui and Confucius in which the great master also uses dreams as a counterpoint, using dreams in the sense of delusion and enlightenment. This dialogue said that Yan Hui did not understand why the Lu people commented on Meng Suncai's "good mourning", because Meng Suncai "cried without tears, the center was not relative, and the mourning was not mourning" during his mother's funeral, how can this be called "good mourning"? Yan Hui felt very incomprehensible. Confucius explained that what Meng Sun knew was far beyond the specific regulations on funerals, and he had a thorough understanding of life and death, because he was "special conscious", so he was able to "cry and cry", echoing people's emotions rather than drowning in blind sorrow, so he was evaluated by the Lu people as "good at mourning". After explaining to Yan Hui, Confucius said:

You and you, the one whose dreams have not yet been awakened! …… And your dream is as powerful as a bird, and your dream is a fish and is not in the abyss, and those who do not know the words of the present are the ones who are awakened? What is its dream? ”

The young man in white said with a smile: "Confucius thinks that Meng Sun has only penetrated life and death, surpassed the specific norms of funerals, and is a person of "special awakening", while he and Yan Hui have become "unenlightened people" because they adhere to the norms of etiquette and music order and care about the details of funerals. Although this is only a funeral, it can also be regarded as a general attitude towards the whole system of etiquette. According to Confucius, those who are obsessed with the norms of etiquette are those who are obsessed with dreams, and those who truly understand the spiritual essence of these norms and go beyond the specific details are the enlightened. We know that the image of Confucius in the Zhuangzi is multiple, sometimes the object of Zhuangzi's criticism, and sometimes the spokesperson of Zhuangzi. Confucius in this dialogue is basically the spokesman for Zhuangzi. Confucius, as the spokesman of Zhuangzi, did not stop there, and as Zhuangzi always did, he used questions to lead his thinking to depth, saying, "Those who do not know the words of the present are those who are enlightened." What is its dream? He further questioned whether his words were themselves enlightened or dream-obsessed. This kind of questioning meaning is the same as the "Qiu and the female are both dreams, and the female dream is also the dream", which is the same as the butterfly dream's "Zhou Zhimeng is the butterfly? The dream of the butterfly is Zhou", which is also the same, it points to the "Great Awakening", but it is full of doubts about the ultimate enlightenment. ”

The fairy in red said: "The outer chapter of "Heavenly Fortune" once again uses dreams in the sense of dreams and enlightenment. This time, Confucius became the object of Zhuangzi's criticism, and was considered obsessed, so this passage particularly shows the meaning of dreaming, and enlightenment is hidden. This text is also a dialogue, a passage that Yan Hui asked Shi Jin how to evaluate Confucius's behavior, and Shi Jin said to Yan Hui. Shi Jin said:

The master also took the first king to Chen and the dog, and gathered the disciples to live and lie under it, so he cut down the tree in the Song Dynasty, cut the traces in the Wei, and was poor in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Surrounded by Chen Cai, he didn't eat for seven days, and he lived and died next to each other, right and wrong? ”
