Chapter 5: The Legend of Birth and Dreams
[14 months pregnant, an unusual character born from grandma's dream, the legend of the Chinese dream in the history books is wonderful; 】
My hometown of Yuyao is already prosperous, and what myths, legends and other rural legends are spread to be gods. Originally, there were enough legends of my father, but I didn't expect that when I came to them, they became more and more irreproducible.
The locals relished my legend, and there were three great things in the legend.
One is that my mother, Zheng, gave birth to me in 14 months of pregnancy, and legend has it that the longer the pregnancy, the more amazing it becomes.
According to legend, Yao's mother was pregnant for 14 months before giving birth to him, and the legend is the most bullish is the Taoist Taishang Laojun, according to the Taoist scriptures, "to the 18th Shang Wang Yangjia 17th year, Laojun to the Taiqing realm distracted deification, conceived in the Xuanmiao princess, after 81 years, born on February 15 in the ninth year of Wuding."
According to my grandmother, the Buddhist arhat was 14 years pregnant. In this way, my fourteen months are also normal.
The second strange thing was the dream of my grandmother, Cen. It is said that at that time, my grandmother dreamed that the sky was bright and bright, auspicious clouds were swirling, many immortals were dressed in crimson clothes, beating drums and blowing flutes, and the music was melodious, and one of the immortals held a baby in his arms, stepped on auspicious clouds, and slowly descended from the air, and came straight to the old Wang's mansion and sent the baby into his grandmother's arms.
The immortal said, "This son bestows you."
The grandmother said, "I already have a son, and my daughter-in-law respects her in-laws all day long, please grant this son."
The immortal replied, "Yes."
Grandma suddenly heard the sound of the dragon and the tiger roaring, she woke up and went to the atrium, the sound of the golden drum in her ears had not stopped, and the vocal music gradually faded and then disappeared for a long time.
She immediately told my grandfather about the dream, and as soon as the dream was finished, I was born.
My grandfather was amazed, so the earliest name he gave me was Wang Yun.
With my birth, my grandmother's fairy dream spread among the neighbors, and everyone was very surprised, so they named the house where I was born "Ruiyun Building".
I have heard a lot about fairy dreams, and then I carefully combed through them, and found that there are really many articles in them, and I will share my research results.
In ancient times, there were fairy dreams to seek talents, such as the dream of King Wen seeking Jiang Ziya, which was called the dream of flying bears, as early as in "Zhuangzi. Tian Zifang" and Jin "Taigong Lu Wangbiao" are mentioned.
According to folklore, King Wen of Zhou, with the assistance of Sanyisheng and other virtuous ministers, governed the country and won the love and support of the people.
One day, King Wen and the ministers of civil and military affairs inspected the Lingtai, did not feel that the sky was getting late, then set up embroidery on the platform and went to bed, strange things happened, in the sleep, King Wen suddenly saw a white-fronted tiger in the southeast, wings, to the tent pounced, King Wen screamed left and right, only to hear a loud noise, but saw the fire rushing to the sky, King Wen woke up in shock.
The next day, King Wen asked the master of Yixue to interpret the dream, and when he heard it, he congratulated: "This dream is a great omen for the king, and the Lord has the talent of the pillars of the country." ”
Wen Wangqi said: "How can you see it? ”
San Yisheng talked eloquently: "The one who dreamed of the tiger giving birth to two wings on the Lord today is the legendary emperor Shi Feixiong, and he can be found." ”
Later, Wen Wangguo met Jiang Taigong who was fishing with a straight hook in Weishui, which is the story of King Wen's dream of finding Jiang Taigong.
Earlier, in the "Historical Records", it was said that the Shang king Wuding dreamed of looking for the name of the Shang Dynasty. Even Wang Fu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who did not believe in gods and ghosts, mentioned this matter in his famous "Treatise on Hidden Husbands". "Wu Ding ascended the throne, silently, thinking for three years, and dreaming of a sage as a teacher. It is to make the four sides of the dream seeking, and Fu said. Fang Yixu built in Fu Yan, promoted to the prince, and made the day and night rule...... Therefore, it can be Zhongxing, and the title is Gaozong".
In addition, there is a famous "Nan Ke A Dream" among the people, which is sourced from Li Gongzuo's "Nan Ke Taishou Biography" in the Tang Dynasty.
Legend has it that there was a man surnamed Chunyu Ming棼 (fén) in the Tang Dynasty, who was addicted to alcohol and was willful and informal.
One day, on his birthday, he held a banquet under the big locust tree in front of the door and drank with his friends, but he was drunk and was helped by his friends to take a nap under the porch. In a daze, it seemed that two purple-clothed messengers invited him to get into the carriage, and the carriage galloped towards a tree hole under the big locust tree.
The myth begins here, but there is a sunny day in the cave, and there is another heaven and earth. The car travels for dozens of miles, the pedestrians are endless, and the scenery is prosperous. In front of the Zhumen hanging gold plaque, on the book "Dahuai Anguo", there is a prime minister out to greet each other, telling that the monarch is willing to marry the princess, recruit him as a concubine, Chun Yudi is very frightened, unconsciously has become a wedding, married with the princess of the golden branch, and was appointed Nanke County Taishou.
After Chun Yudi arrived, it can be said that he was diligent and loved the people, and governed this Nanke County in an orderly manner, before and after 20 years, he was really valued by the king, and was supported by the people, at this time he had five sons and two daughters, at this time his official position was prominent, the family was extremely happy, and the career was also in full swing.
But unexpectedly, Taiji did not come, first the Tanluo country suddenly invaded, Chun Yudi led the troops to resist the enemy, but he was repeatedly defeated, and then the princess of Jinzhi unfortunately died, Chun Yudi suffered an accident, did not feel discouraged, so he resigned from the position of Taishou, and returned to Beijing with the coffin.
Since then, he has lost the favor of the king, he is depressed and unhappy in his heart, the king took pity on him, so he allowed him to go back to his hometown to visit relatives, and there were still two purple-clothed messengers to see him off.
The car out of the cave, strange things came, only to see the mountains and rivers of his hometown are still the same, he returned home, only to see his body sleeping under the porch, couldn't help but be startled, woke up at the moment, Chun Yu told everyone about the dream, everyone was surprised to the big locust tree, sure enough, dug a big ant hole, there is a hole next to the south branch, and a small anthill, the dream of "Nanke County", "Huai Anguo" is actually so.
There is also the legend of "a dream of yellow sorghum" among the folk, which comes from Shen Jiji's "Pillow Notes" in the Tang Dynasty, which is to say that a scholar named Lu Sheng stayed in the Handan Hotel, and he fell asleep and had a good dream of enjoying the glory and wealth of his life, and when he woke up, the rice was not cooked, because he had an understanding.
The "Huangliang Dream" or "Handan Dream" that later generations said came out of this.
Also, the well-known story of "Zhuang Zhou Dream Butterfly" is from "Zhuangzi. "The Theory of Things" is to say, "In the past, Zhuang Zhou dreamed that he became a butterfly, it was really a very vivid and vivid butterfly, I felt how happy and comfortable, at this moment I no longer knew that I was originally Zhuang Zhou." When I woke up suddenly, I was frightened and knew that I was Zhuang Zhou, but to be honest, I really didn't know if Zhuang Zhou turned into a butterfly in his dream? Or did the butterfly become Zhuang Zhou in his dream? There must be a difference between Zhuang Zhou and butterflies, this is called the realm of materialization."
There are many other dream legends. Dream is really strange, let's talk about the dream stream of Shen Kuo's "Dream Creek Writings" in the Song Dynasty, according to Wang Xiangzhi's "Ji Shengqi of the Earth" in the Song Dynasty. Zhenjiang Mansion records that "including a dream, the heart is happy." Later, he got the land in Jingkou, like an old tour in a dream, because of the name Dream Creek".
It is said that Shen Kuo once dreamed of a beautiful valley, and later bought a piece of land in Jingkou, and looked like the place in his previous dream, because it was named "Dream Creek".
