「昔者庄周梦为胡蝶，栩栩然胡蝶也，自喻适志与，不知周也。俄然觉，则蘧蘧然周也。不知周之梦为胡蝶与，胡蝶之梦为周与？」 ——《庄子·齐物论》

📖 释义 Annotation
「蝴蝶之梦」是庄子齐物论中最著名的寓言。庄周梦见自己变成蝴蝶，翩翩飞舞，快乐自在，完全忘记了自己是庄周。醒来后又分明是庄周。于是产生了困惑：究竟是庄周梦见了蝴蝶，还是蝴蝶梦见了庄周？这个寓言打破了「真实」与「虚幻」的界限。
Zhuang Zhou dreamed he was a butterfly, fluttering happily, forgetting he was Zhou. Waking, he was Zhou again. Was it Zhou dreaming of a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming of Zhou? This parable dissolves the boundary between reality and illusion.
💡 当代启示 Modern Application
我们所认为的「现实」，是否也只是某种形式的「梦」？虚拟现实、元宇宙正在模糊真实与虚幻的边界。庄子两千多年前的困惑，比以往任何时候都更具现实意义。
Is our 'reality' just another form of 'dream'? Virtual reality blurs the line between real and illusory. Zhuangzi's confusion from two thousand years ago is more relevant than ever.
