English term or phrase: mutual forgetfulness
Chinese philosophers, especially Confucianists, assign all the virtues of man to nature. With both man and nature sharing the same virtues, it naturally follows that man breathes and feels with nature and its beautiful objects, his soul makes happy excursions with them, he emphasizes with them, he is totally identified with them, he and the beautiful things he is viewing reach the state of "mutual forgetfulness". In the case of Zhuangzi, he and the butterfly were totally identified so that he could not tell whether he was a butterfly turned into a human or a human turned into a butterfly.
