Xuan Chu said, "Two immortals, how do you know my name?" ”

The two immortals looked at each other and smiled: "Hahaha, not only do you know your name, we have known each other for a long time, Her Royal Highness Princess Zichen, do you still remember us?" ”

Chu Chu said, "I don't remember, what kind of place do you live in?" ”

The young man in white smiled: "Hahaha, what we live here is ethereal, the princess has been here in the dream, why have you forgotten?" ”

Xuan Chu was puzzled: "Have I been here?" How did I not know? ”

If you think about it, I've never been to this place before.

The fairy in red smiled and said, "Hehe, Your Royal Highness Princess, now she is no longer a princess!" How can you remember us! ”

The young man in white smiled and said: "Hahaha, too, Princess Zichen, she has always been arrogant, how can I wait for Xiaoxian to get into her eyes......"

Xuan Chu said: "Actually, even if I don't know that you don't know you, you can introduce you to me, hey, don't you hear me?" ”

The young man in red smiled: "This story consists of three dreams. First, the Marquis of Jin dreamed that the ghost was looking for him to settle accounts, and asked Sangtian Wu, and Sangtian Wu's explanation was that this indicated the death of the Marquis of Jin, and the Marquis of Jin had no chance to eat the New Year's food. Subsequently, the Marquis of Jin learned in a dream that his illness was hidden in the terminal and could not be cured, and after the good doctor of the Qin State came, the symptoms he said were completely consistent with the dream of the Marquis of Jin. In June, Xinmai ended, Jin Hou used Xinmai for food, Sang Tian Wu predicted that Jin Hou could not eat new grain, and Xin Mai was already in front of Jin Hou, which seemed to mean that Sang Tian Wu Zhanmeng failed, so Jin Hou showed Sang Tian Wu the new grain, and killed him. However, the Marquis of Jin went to the toilet before tasting the new grain, and as a result, he fell into the latrine and died. As a result, as foreshadowed by Sangtian Wu Zhan's dream, the Marquis of Jin did not eat new food.

The reason for the death of the Marquis of Jin is a bit vague here, because this story talks about the recourse of the ghost, the illness of the Marquis of Jin, and the fall into the toilet, so the Marquis of Jin finally died in the latrine, is it the result of the recourse of the ghost? Or did you fall because you were seriously ill? Or was it just an accident? It's not clear here. But there is no doubt about one thing, that is, Sangtian Wu's dream of occupying the Marquis of Jin means that his quick death, he will not be able to eat new food, and this result is completely realized. The new grain had been placed in front of the Marquis of Jin, but he couldn't eat it, and he fell into the toilet before the meal and died, because his death had been foreshadowed in the dream, and had been "occupied" by Sangtian Wu. ”

The two fairies, as if they couldn't see Chu Chu at all, chatted to themselves.

The fairy in red said: "The funeral of the minister was also foreshadowed in a dream, the minister dreamed of carrying the Marquis of Jin to the sky, he said this dream, sure enough, the Marquis of Jin fell into the toilet, he carried the Marquis of Jin out, and finally was buried." The death of the minister, which the dream suggested, finally came true. ”

Chu said, "What are you talking about? ”

The young man in white said with a smile: "This is the basic characteristic of the dream: the dream is considered to be very meaningful, this meaning is the divine revelation, the dream is to reveal the divine will, and finally, the content of the dream becomes the reality later, and the divine will is fully realized."

Judging from the dreams contained in the Book of Poetry and the Zuo Chuan, the understanding of dreams at that time was completely in the form of "supporting dreams" and "dividing dreams", especially the content of dreams. Therefore, the dreams recorded in the left biography are usually in this style: dreams; the revelation of the meaning of dreams; The implication of the dream eventually becomes a reality. It is not possible or necessary to recount here all the dreams and the results of the dream divination recorded in the Zuo biography, and the above two examples can be used as typical examples of the dream and the dream divination, because there is no other form of dream telling outside of these two forms. ”

The fairy in red said: "The sons outside the Five Classics are obviously not very interested in talking about dreams, Lao Tzu does not have the word "dream", Mencius does not have the word "dream", and there is only one material in the Analects that talks about dreams, which is Confucius's emotion that he has not been able to dream of Zhou Gong for a long time: "Zi said, 'What! I'm declining too! It's been a long time! I no longer dream of Zhou Gong. 'Analects?? As far as this material is concerned, dreams no longer have any superstitious overtones in Confucius, who advocated reason. However, Confucius hoped to dream of Zhou Gong in the hope of comprehending the spirit of Zhou Gong in his dream, and this yearning made Confucius's dream still in the state of receiving divine revelations, that is, in the state of dividing dreams. ”

The white-clothed young man said with a smile: "The word "dream" appears five times in Mozi, and there is only one place that is really related to dreams, which is that King Wu dreamed that the three gods encouraged him to attack Shang, and he followed the divine instructions and won the victory. There is no plot of the dream in this story, because the divine revelation is clear, and it is not expressed in a vague way, but the victory of King Wu is foreshadowed in his dream, so the only dream in Mozi does not go out of the mode of dream divination. Although before Zhuangzi, it was said that dreams did not go out of the mode of divining dreams, the superstitious color of dreaming was decreasing, and examples of rational use of dreams in the way of dreaming gradually appeared, and the intention of using them became more and more obvious, which can be clearly seen from the dream theory of Yanzi Spring and Autumn and Warring States Policy. Yan Zi Chunqiu recorded three dreams, all of which were Qi Jinggong's dreams. Yan Zi Chunqiu's record of these three dreams is accompanied by the activity of occupying dreams or interpreting dreams, and at the same time revealing obvious traces of Yan Zi's use of dreams to influence Qi Jinggong. ”

The fairy in red said: "The first dream is related to Qi Jinggong's war against the Song Dynasty. Qi Jinggong passed by Mount Tai and "dreamed that his second husband was angry, and his anger was very strong", and Jinggong was frightened to wake up. Find a dream teller to interpret the dream, the dream teller's explanation is that Jing Highway passed Mount Tai, but did not sacrifice to the mountain god, the god of Mount Tai was angry, as long as Jing Gong sacrificed to the mountain god, he could calm the anger of the second husband in the dream. However, Yan Zi said that it was not the Taishan Mountain God who was angry in Jinggong's dream, but the ancestors of the Song State, Shang Tang and Yi Yin, and they were angry because Qi Jinggong had waged war against the Song State, and if they wanted to appease their anger, they had to stop the war against the Song State. Song Jinggong accepted Yan Zi's explanation and stopped the war against the Song Dynasty. ”

Chu said, "Hey, who are you?" What do you do with these dreams? ”

The young man in white smiled: "The second dream is that Jing Gong was hunting in Wuqiu, and he dreamed that five men said to him that he was not guilty. When Jing Gong inquired about Yan Zi, he learned that his grandfather, Ling Gong, had killed five people who had inadvertently hindered hunting, cut off their heads, and buried them near his tent. Jing Gong ordered the reburial of the five skulls. Therefore, the people praised Jing Gong for his kindness to the deceased, and believed that he must have more love and compassion for the people. The story ends with the words, "A gentleman is easy to do good." ”?? It settled on the position of moral exhortation. However, as far as the nature of this dream is concerned, it is a dream in the form of a dream, and the five unjustly killed people ask Dream Jing Gong to defend their grievances, and Jing Gong accepts their appeal and gives them a settlement. ”
