In the thousands of years of thinking of the chinese people, dreams are a strange and mysterious phenomenon, because of its illusory mysterious and unknowable, so it has derived from the science of dream interpretation, through the speculation and analysis of dreams to predict the auspiciousness. The ancients were obsessed with dream interpretation, and there are many successful cases in the history books of using dreams to avoid evil, but there are also many "models" of failure. For example, Zhang Jing'er, a famous general in Southern Qi, misinterpreted his wife's dream and mistakenly believed that the evil omen was an auspicious omen, and as a result, the family was destroyed.
Zhang Jing'er was a fierce general between the Song and Qi dynasties of the Southern Dynasty
Zhang Jing'er was a fierce general during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, whose original name was Zhang Gou'er, also known as a dog for false rumors, and Emperor Ming of Liu Song thought that his name was too vulgar, so he changed his name to Jing'er. Zhang Jing'er learned bow horses and had courage, and gradually rose to the rank of General of Xiao Qi, Nanyang Taishou, and Yongzhou Assassin with military merit, and became a feudal governor on the zhenshou side ("The real name is Gou'er, Emperor Ming of Song despised it by his name, changed to Yan... Jing'er bowed his horse when he was young, had courage, was good at shooting tigers, and shot everything. See Book of Southern Qi, vol. 25, Liechuan VI).
After the powerful minister Xiao Daocheng came to power, Zhang Jing'er "saw the wind and turned the rudder", changed from a powerful general of Liu Song to become the backbone of the Xiao Party, and was willing to fight for Xiao Daocheng's usurpation of power. After Xiao Daocheng's intention to usurp the throne was gradually revealed, Liu Xiufan, the king of Guiyang, and Shen Youzhi, the assassin of Jingzhou, successively raised troops to fight, but in the end they were all pacified by Zhang Jing'er's army. Zhang Jing'er made great contributions to Xiao Daocheng's control of the situation, so he won the trust of the latter.
Xiao Daocheng, the High Emperor of Southern Qi, valued Zhang Jing'er very much
After the founding of the State of Southern Qi, Zhang Jing'er, as a meritorious warrior of the Founding Fathers, was an official and a general of the Horse Riders, and was enthroned as a Kaifu Yi Tongsan Division, and was made a duke, and his fame, official position, and title all reached the extreme of human subjects. Xiao Daocheng not only valued Zhang Jing'er, but also entrusted him with the heavy responsibility of assisting the government before his death. However, Zhang Jing'er was rude and rude, and did not understand the way of getting along with kings and subjects ("Jing'er martial general, do not practice court etiquette." Ibid.), the newly enthroned Emperor Wu of Wu was very dissatisfied with him, and gradually became cold to him.
The emperor's cold attitude worried Zhang Jing'er, who was very worried that he would one day be liquidated. After the great general Yuan Chongzu, who was equally famous with him, was killed for being too small, Zhang Jing'er was even more unable to sleep and eat, sitting at home every day and sighing, and his mood was extremely bad. Zhang Jing'er's wife Shang Shi often dreamed of some strange phenomena, one day dreamed that her whole body was hot, and she did not know what it was foreshadowing, so she ran to discuss with Zhang Jing'er.
Mrs. Shang dreamed that she was hot, and Zhang Jing'er thought it was an auspicious omen
Shang Shi told her husband: "When the concubine dreamed that the palm of her hand was as hot as charcoal, the result was that soon the adult became the Taishou of Nanyang; during the Yuan Hui years, the concubine dreamed that half of her body was hot, and as a result, soon after the adult was promoted to the history of Jingzhou Thorn; now the concubine dreams that her body is hot, what does this omen?" Unexpectedly, Zhang Jing'er was overjoyed after hearing this, and said to his wife: "This is an auspicious omen of great wealth and nobility, and it seems that I still have to take a step higher." ”
Although Zhang Jing'er did not explicitly say it, the Shang clan knew that the title of husband had reached the extreme of the people's subjects, and this next step of ascension must be to run to the throne. Afterwards, Zhang Jing'er did send someone to secretly contact Shanman, and it seemed that there was a misdeed. Although the couple was whispering, and the contact with Shan Man was also carried out in a very secret way, but he could not resist the wall and had ears, all of which was still known to the emperor.
Zhang Jing'er secretly interacted with Nan Man, causing the emperor to be jealous
When Yuan Chongzu died, the more frightened he became, and his wife said to Jing'er: "In the past, my dream hands were as hot as fire, and jun had Nanyang County." In the Yuan Emblem, the dream is half hot, and the King has been in Honshu. This dream is hot. "There are eunuchs who hear what they say and say it. ShiDa Shizu. Jing'er also sent envoys to negotiate with barbarians, and Shizu suspected that he had different ambitions. See Book of Southern Qi, Vol. XXV, Liechuan NO. 6.
Xiao Zhao believed that Zhang Jing'er's disobedience had already been revealed, and if he did not stop it in time, he was afraid that there would be a big disturbance, so he took advantage of the opportunity of the courtiers to go to Hualin Garden to hold a fast, and sent someone to arrest Zhang Jing'er, who was still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Festival, on the spot. After Zhang Jing'er was caught, he knew that he had no reason to live, so he took off his official hat and threw it on the ground, and then said hatefully: "It was this play that hurt me!" Within a few days, Zhang Jing'er was killed in the first year of Yongming (483). It is really regrettable that a generation of famous people will be ridiculed by fate and eventually end up in a different place.
In order to eliminate hidden dangers, Emperor Wu of Southern Qi ordered Zhang Jing'er to be hunted down
In the first year of The Yongming Dynasty, the courtier Hualin Baguan Zhai (華林八關斋) sat down to receive Jing'er. Jing'er left and right Lei Zhong showed that there was a change, hugged Jing'er and wept. Jing'er stripped the crowned mink to the ground and said, "Mistaking me with this thing." ''Little day, curse.'' Ibid.
