Chapter 42: The Great Dream

The Tang Dynasty ranger Chun Yu Di, lives in the east of Guangling County, there is a big ancient acacia in the south of the house, and often drinks under the acacia with his peers. One day he was drunk, and he was helped home by two friends and fell asleep. Suddenly, I saw two purple-clothed messengers, saying that they were invited by the order of King Huai'an. Then he went out to board the car and went to the ancient Huai Cave. And gallop into the cave, see the mountains and rivers road, there is no world. Entered the country of Dahuai, met the king, was recruited as a concubine, and was favored. Later, he worshiped Nanke County Taishou, guarded the county for 20 years, and had great political achievements and was greatly favored. Later, the Tanluo army invaded, and Chun Yu sent the generals to meet the enemy and was defeated. Soon the princess fell ill and died, and she was escorted back to the capital. Because of the wide range of friends, the prosperity of the blessing, the king was quite suspicious, took away his guards, and forbade him to travel. He was depressed, and the king immediately ordered the purple-clothed messenger to send him back to his hometown. When I entered the house, I dreamed that the two friends were still there, and the sun had not yet set. Then he and his two friends searched for the cave under Huai, but saw a group of ants hidden in it, and the soil was the shape of the city hall and the same as what he saw in the dream. So I felt the illusion of life, and then inhabited the door.

This is the "Nanke Dream".

A hundred years later, there is Lu Sheng's name and English, and the words are extracted. At the Handan Inn, I met the immortal Weng Lu Dongbin. Lu Sheng sighed to himself that he was poor, and Lu Xian took the pillow in his bag to him: "You pillow my immortal pillow, when Ling Zirong is suitable!" At this time, the innkeeper steamed Huangliang rice, the head of the house, dreamed of pillows, and then went to his home, and for a few months, he married the daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe, and the richer his wealth became, and he was born with great joy! When I woke up, the sorghum steamed by the innkeeper was just half-ripe. Lu Sheng said in surprise: "Is this really a dream?" Lu Xian told him with a smile: "The circumstances of life are nothing more than that!" After this dream, Lu Sheng realized that he did not think of going to Beijing to take the exam, but went to the mountain to cultivate.

This is the "Huangliang Dream".

One day, Nanhua Lao Xianzhuang Zhou dreamed that he had become a butterfly, fluttering, very relaxed and comfortable, and then completely forgot that he was Zhuang Zhou. When I woke up after a while, I was very surprised and confused about myself or Zhuang Zhou. Think about it seriously, I don't know if Zhuang Zhou dreamed of becoming a butterfly, or did a butterfly dream of becoming Zhuang Zhou?

In the eyes of ordinary people, what a person sees and feels when he wakes up is real, and dreams are hallucinations and are unreal. Zhuangzi thought otherwise. Although waking up is one realm, dreaming is another, the two are not the same, Zhuang Zhou is Zhuang Zhou, and butterflies are butterflies, and the two are also different. But in Zhuang Zhou's view, they are just a phenomenon, a form and a stage in the Dao movement. This incident is not only a kind of life attitude of life like a dream, but also reveals the metaphysical "Tao" and the metaphysical relationship between Zhuang Zhou and butterflies. Everything under the metaphysics, though ever-changing, is only the materialization of the Tao. Whether it is Zhuang Zhou or a butterfly, it is essentially just a void Tao, and there is no difference. This is called "Qi Thing".

There are dreams in life, and dreams accompany everyone for life.

There is always something to look forward to in the life of a dream, and living in the world with a hope will naturally hold a kind of longing, longing for the dream to come unexpectedly, suddenly presented in front of you.

In fact, we often have a deep regret wandering in the bottom of our hearts. If you put the state of mind at this time into the painting, the performance will achieve an immortal masterpiece.

You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people who watch the scenery look at you from the bridge.

The bright moon decorates your window, but you decorate other people's dreams.

Perhaps, you have not noticed, at some point, unconsciously you have become a landscape in the eyes of others, and have fulfilled other people's dreams.

There will always be many, many dreams in a person's life, some of which may not be realized in a lifetime, and some of which can be achieved without effort. Don't be discouraged when you can't get it, and don't sigh when you can't achieve it, everything comes naturally, everything goes naturally.

Perhaps, life is not beautiful because of what you get. I think that sometimes it is precisely because of the lack of access that there is a kind of longing, longing for the dream to suddenly come true.

Don't be afraid to miss the era of dreams, don't be afraid to miss the flowers blooming, because dreams have always existed.

Life cannot be without dreams, whether it is realistic or not, with a beauty, longing for a hope, life will be vivid and gorgeous.

It's better to dream of this thing, but what if it comes true?

Zhou Gong's surname is Ji Mingdan, is the fourth son of King Wen of Zhou, the younger brother of King Wu, a famous politician in ancient China, has twice assisted King Wu of Zhou to fight the king of Zhou, and made ceremonial music, the world is under great rule. Because its mining is in Zhou, the lord is the prince, so it is called the Duke of Zhou. When he was King Wen of Zhou, he was very filial and benevolent, assisted King Wu to fight and was sealed in Lu. The Duke of Zhou did not go to the feudal kingdom but stayed in the dynasty, assisted King Wu, stabilized the society for Zhou, and established a system. King Wu collapsed, and became the regent of King Zuocheng.

At this time, the Zhou Dynasty was facing serious difficulties, the old nobles of the Shang Dynasty were preparing to restore, and the auxiliary government of the Zhou Dynasty violated the principle of succession between father and son in the hereditary system of the throne, causing contradictions within the Zhou group. As a result, the remnants of the forces colluded with the rebel forces within the Zhou family, and their representatives were Wu Geng, the prince of Zhou, and Uncle Guan, Uncle Cai, and others, who were responsible for monitoring Wu Geng. As a result, the Duke of Zhou went east to quell the rebellion of the three uncles, destroyed the fifty countries, laid the southeast, and returned to make ceremonies and music. Once, King Cheng was very ill, and Zhou Gong was very anxious, so he cut his nails and sank into the river, praying to the river god: "King Cheng is not sensible, and any fault is mine." If I'm going to die, let me die. Later, King Cheng really got better. Confucius could often dream of the Duke of Zhou, which can also corroborate that the interpretation of dreams by the Duke of Zhou is a very important part of the content of Chinese culture.

Dream is a hidden mirror to peek into the heart, and it is another illusory but real life experience. Just like Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly, we are often shocked and confused by bizarre and grotesque dreams. What does it mean? What does it imply? Dreams are an opportunity to eavesdrop on one's subconscious and conscious minds to communicate with each other, and they open the door to self-integration. Dreams are a strange phenomenon, and the experience of dreaming is also shared by all people.

But in human culture, the understanding of dreams has always been a mystery, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign. In ancient times, dreams were often seen as instructions from the gods or the work of the devil. Even in modern civilized society, there are still many superstitions about dreams. In our culture, there are many stories about dreams. Such as: Zhuang Sheng Dream Butterfly, Huangliang One Dream, Dream Pen Shenghua, Nan Ke One Dream, etc., are all dream stories that have always been talked about.

Zhou Gong said that there are six kinds of dreams:

Positive dream: This refers to the natural dream without distractions and carefree without the stimulation of internal and external factors;

Fear of dreams: Fear of dreams, also known as nightmares, arises from fright, and there is an inexplicable fear.

Joyful dreams: Dreams caused by likes or pleasures. When there is joy in the heart, there is a happy dream, and some people even laugh in the dream and wake up laughing.

Dreams: Dreams caused by longing, reminiscence. Sometimes it refers not only to thinking and dreaming, but also to thinking and thinking in dreams.

Sleeping: refers to dreams caused by what is said, seen, and done when awakening, and also refers to daydreams;

Elephant dream: does not directly express the dream, but takes the symbolic meaning of something or something, such as dreaming of a snake, which can be taken as "the human heart is not enough and the snake swallows the elephant".

I believe that every Chinese will have consulted "Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation" more than once in the process of growing up.

Dreams are formless, qualitative, elusive and rich in connotation. Later, under the enlightenment of a master, he devoted himself to the study of the dream technique, and spent a hundred years of work, and finally cultivated it into a great dream method, which can be described as ancient and unparalleled.

People who have dreams will fall into it without realizing it, and will be happy and happy, and finally be controlled by it and let it be slaughtered. It can be said that it is invincible, and today's debut on such a major occasion still has an immediate effect.

Hei Tianjun's laughter came from far and near:

"Kongtong visited Xianghu Lake, and thousands of poems and books turned foolish. There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. I don't look down on you guys in my life the most in my life. ”
