Dream Butterfly in Zhuang and Zhou Dynasties is a new philosophical proposition put forward by Zhuangzi, the main representative of Taoist school in Warring States Period. In it, Zhuangzi described and discussed the event that a dream turned into a butterfly, and after waking up, the butterfly became itself, and put forward the viewpoint that it is impossible for people to accurately distinguish between reality and illusion and the materialization of life and death. Zhuang Zhou become a butterfly entered bliss, which is a great fortune in life; It is a misfortune of life that butterflies turn into Zhuang Zhou and step into the hustle and bustle! The surrounding butterflies are free from vulgarity, and the butterfly border continent is the fallen world of mortals.
Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly story is loved by later generations of scholars because of its profound meaning, romantic feelings and open aesthetic imagination space. At the same time, it has also become an important image for later poets to express their feelings and experiences in life, such as parting, sighing about life, homesickness and serving the country, and leisure.
