is the so-called "a lot of affection, a lot of dreams". As the common wealth of the human spirit, the image of dreams has brought us the yearning for beautiful scenery, love, life and even all good things, and has also produced countless excellent literary works with dreams as images in the long history.
The Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi once wrote a poem "Flowers Are Not Flowers". This poem expresses the emotion of life like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, and shows a kind of remembrance and regret for the beautiful people and things that have existed and disappeared in life. This obscurity is not ambiguous, but an artistic subtlety and profoundness. In this way, he conveys a philosophy of life - life is like a dream, all the good and painful will eventually pass, leaving only faint memories.
Flowers are not flowers. 
Tang] Bai Juyi.
Flowers are not flowers, fog is not fog.
In the middle of the night, the morning goes.
How long has it been like a spring dream?
It seems that there is nowhere to find the clouds.
Bai Juyi's miscellaneous ancient poem uses all metaphors, but the things it is metaphorical have never been explicitly stated. The poem takes the first three words as the title, which is almost "untitled". The first half of the poem "Flowers are not flowers, fog is not fog." In the middle of the night, the morning goes. Meaning: like a flower and not a flower, like a fog but not a fog. It comes in the middle of the night and leaves at dawn.
How long has it been like a spring dream?It seems that there is nowhere to find the clouds. "Chaoyun" borrowed the allusions of the meeting between the king of Chu and the goddess of Wushan in Song Yu's "Gao Tang Fu" and "The Goddess Fu" to compare the date between lovers. When it comes, how much time can that beautiful dream have?When he departed, he was like a morning cloud that had gone away and was nowhere to be found. The poem is composed of a series of metaphors, which are intertwined, like clouds flowing through water, and are naturally written. Repeatedly highlight an unexplained metaphor with a vivid image.

With its unique artistic style and philosophical reflections, this poem is unique in the history of classical Chinese literature and is still widely praised and studied. The theme of the poem is the emotion of the impermanence of life and the beautiful moments, and Bai Juyi expresses his philosophical thoughts on the inability to grasp life, time and beautiful things through the imagery of flowers and fog.
