Features: These rather absurd stories show that in the vast natural world, humans are not alone. They play hide-and-seek with all things, as if trying to hide themselves through mutual transformation. These stories, like fluttering butterflies, fly chaotically in the entire spiritual wilderness of human evolution, both before and after the life of Master Zhuang. After weaving straw sandals for a long time, he saw that his wife had not returned from borrowing grain from the neighbor's house, so he got up and went outside to bask in the sun. Although their life was poor, the scenery of spring still brought him joy. He turned his gaze to the wildflowers and grasses, only to see a few colorful butterflies rising and falling freely, carefree, completely unaware of the worries of the world. Unable to resist the beauty of spring, he lay down on the bed to rest for a while. In a blink of an eye, he suddenly felt himself transform into a butterfly and fly into a flower field, feeling so free and pleasant. When he suddenly came to his senses, he found that he was still himself.
