In the past, Zhuang Zhoumeng was Hu Die, a lifelike butterfly, which was a metaphor for Shi Zhi and I don't know Zhou Ye. If you suddenly feel it, you will suddenly feel it. I wonder if Zhou's dream is a dream or a dream is Zhou He? Zhou he, there are still points. This is called materialization.
Translation:
In the past, Zhuang Zhou dreamed that he had become a butterfly, a very vivid butterfly. How happy and comfortable he feels! I didn't know I was Zhuang Zhou. I suddenly woke up and realized that I was Zhuang Zhou. I wonder if Zhuang Zhou became a butterfly in his dream, or if the butterfly became Zhuang Zhou in his dream? There must be a difference between Zhuang Zhou and Butterfly. This can be called crop, my interaction and change.
Zhuangzi's dream turned into a vivid butterfly, forgetting that he was a person, and only when he woke up did he know that he was still Zhuangzi. It's really hard to tell whether Zhuangzi has become the butterfly in her dream or the Zhuangzi in her dream.

Zhuangzi explained this in the form of a story as follows: "The dream of Qianzhuang Zhou was a butterfly, which was vivid. Self-metaphor and ambition! I don't know, Zhou Ye. If you suddenly feel it, you will suddenly feel it. I wonder if Zhou Zhimeng is a butterfly and? What is the butterfly's dream? There must be differences between Zhou and Butterfly. This is called materialization. "
Zhuangzi dreamed that he became a butterfly one day. When he woke up, he found that he was still Zhuangzi, so he didn't know whether he dreamed of a butterfly in Zhuangzi or a butterfly in Zhuangzi. Here, Zhuangzi raised a philosophical question-how people know the truth. If dreams are real enough, people have no ability to know that they are dreaming.
In the eyes of ordinary people, what a person sees and feels when he is awake is real, and dreams are hallucinations 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. In Zhuang Zhou's view, they are just a phenomenon, a form and a stage in the Tao movement.
Zhuangzi is using a simplest fable to illustrate one of the heaviest problems of mankind, that is, the problem of life and death.
