如花如梦如幻影
[rú huā rú mèng rú huàn yĭng]
"Like Flower Like Dream Like Phantom" creates the illusionary, delicate beauty yet ephemeral feeling - as transient as flowers, dreams, and shadows. This metaphor commonly evokes the idea of fleetingness and transience associated with beautiful moments, relationships, or youth as seen in traditional Chinese poetry and philosophy.
