Chapter 757: One of the Beautiful Dreams

One of the beautiful dreams

April 8: One of the beautiful dreams

(One), two people who have beautiful dreams

1. One who became top scholar, married a princess, served as governor, and had five sons and two daughters

I remember Mr. Lu Xun saying: "Dreaming is freedom." So-called dreaming is freedom; I understand it as: in a dream, any good thing can be imagined, any place can be reached; ideals and wishes that cannot be realized in the world can be achieved in a dream.

For example, in the "Yellow Millet Dream", that Nanke Mr. who went to the capital to take the exam. On the way to the exam, he had a good dream. In the dream, he became top scholar, was selected by the emperor as a prince consort, and served as governor for twenty years. In times of prosperity and success, he remained loyal in serving the people; he withstood all temptations, never engaging in corruption or bribery, earning deep favor from the emperor and the populace. He had five sons and two daughters; the sons were all ambitious and of excellent character, earning their own living by hard work, never relying on their father's influence; the daughters were virtuous and wise, and the husbands they chose were also learned and courteous, outstanding.

In the dream, Nanke Mr. fulfilled his life's ideals and wishes.

2. One who traveled in space, saw wondrous sights, and feasted his eyes.

The Tang dynasty great poet loved to roam all his life, wandering freely. He had toured all the mountains and waters on earth, yet that was not enough; he also wanted to roam in the heavens. The Tang dynasty had no spaceships, so space travel could only be realized in dreams.

Once, this great poet Li Bai truly dreamed of traveling in space.

In the dream, Li Bai ascended the longed-for space city. In the space city, clouds rose and rosy glows shone; the clouds and glows brightened and faded. Amidst the clouds that were sometimes bright, sometimes dim, the poet saw a scenery rarely seen in the human world: on lofty peaks, blue clouds twined, green mountains reflected in the lake waters; on the mountains, trees were lush, mountain springs murmured, bears roared and dragons cried; by the lakeside, flora flourished, bees flew and butterflies danced among the flowers, birds sang in harmony; Between heaven and earth, boundless and endless, there were wondrous mountains and waters too many to behold, beautiful scenery. Like a fairyland paradise: there, fragrant breezes brought all kinds of beautiful sounds; no sorrowful clouds obscured the heavens, the scenery was most beautiful, and all kinds of flowers and fruits were present. There was no death or sorrow; the immortals stood in array like hemp; those heroines all performed gentle songs and graceful dances, their laughter and words full, fading with subtle fragrance. There, everyone was equal, wealth evenly distributed, no need for corruption or bribery, no worries or anxieties, furthermore no murder, **, illicit coupling, hooligans, theft, envy, and strife. In short, all the filth and ugliness of the human world cannot be seen there.

Just as the immortals stood in array like hemp, preparing to welcome the poet, the poet's beautiful dream suddenly woke up; in the dream, everything drifted away like clouds and mist. After waking, the poet felt that worldly affairs were also like a dream; thus Li Bai sighed: "Since ancient times, all things are like flowing water."......
