塵網 [chén wǎng] [chen wang]—
In this world, people's bodies and minds are often constrained and bound, as if trapped in a net, making it difficult to attain freedom. Therefore, "尘网 [chen wang]" (chén wǎng, the net of dust) is used as a metaphor for the mortal world. Han Dynasty, Dongfang Shuo, "Letter to a Friend": "不可使尘网名缰拘锁 [bu ke shi chen wang ming jiang ju suo]，怡然长笑 [yi ran zhang xiao]，脱去十洲三岛 [tuo qu shi zhou san dao] (Bùkě shǐ chén wǎng míng jiāng jūsuǒ, yírán chángxiào, tuō qù shí zhōu sān dǎo, Do not let the net of dust and the reins of fame bind and shackle you, laugh heartily and freely, escape from the ten continents and three islands)." Jin Dynasty, Tao Yuanming, "Returning to the Garden and Dwelling" poem, one of five: "误落尘网中 [wu luo chen wang zhong]，一去三十年 [yi qu san shi nian] (Wù luò chén wǎng zhōng, yī qù sānshí nián, Mistakenly fell into the net of dust, thirty years have passed)."
塵網：人在世間，身心常受拘牽束縛，如陷網中，難得自由，故塵網比喻人世。漢．東方朔〈與友人書〉：「不可使塵網名韁拘鎖，怡然長笑，脫去十洲三島。」晉．陶淵明〈歸園田居〉詩五首之一：「誤落塵網中，一去三十年。」
chén wǎng: rén zài shì jiān, shēn xīn cháng shòu jū qiān shù fù, rú xiàn wǎng zhōng, nán dé zì yóu, gù chén wǎng bǐ yù rén shì. hàn． dōng fāng shuò 〈yǔ yǒu rén shū〉: “bù kě shǐ chén wǎng míng jiāng jū suǒ, yí rán zhǎng xiào, tuō qù shí zhōu sān dǎo.” jìn． táo yuān míng 〈guī yuán tián jū〉 shī wǔ shǒu zhī yī: “wù luò chén wǎng zhōng, yī qù sān shí nián.”
