◎庄周梦蝶图

Zhuang Zhou's butterfly dream

天地与我并生，而万物与我为一。(《庄子齐物论》)

战国时期，群雄争霸，诸子百家各创新说。庄子却如同一位遗世而独立的隐者，沉浸在自己的翩翩蝴蝶梦中。他忽而在梦中无拘无束地飞舞，忽而又醒来，分不清究竟是庄子做梦变成了蝴蝶，还是蝴蝶此刻化作了庄子。

The Warring States Period witnessed a great number of states competing for hegemony, and hundreds of schools of thoughts contending for attention. However, Zhuangzi, like a recluse, had always kept himself aloof from the competition,and indulged himself in his butterfly dream. He once dreamed that he became a butterfly, fluttering here and there. Suddenly he woke up; but he did not know now whether he was Zhuangzi who dreamed of transforming into a butterfly, or a butterfly that

dreamed of transforming into Zhuangzi.
