I have a friend who is quite good at measuring the dream of measuring characters, and he is also full of books, he said that in the Northern Wei Dynasty, there was a dreamer named Yang Yuanshen, according to the "Luoyang Jialan Record", he was good at dream interpretation, "righteousness out of all ways, random meetings, all have divine experience." Here's an example of what he's in.
Jing Zhaoxu Chao once had a dream, dreaming that the sheep were in prison, and he was puzzled, so he asked Yang Shishen to give him a chance. When Yang Shishen heard about this dream, he immediately said, "This is an auspicious dream, you should become Yangcheng Ling." ”
After Xu Chao listened, he was overjoyed and asked what this was. Yang Shishen explained: "'Theft' can be harmonic", "sheep" can be harmonic "yang", as for the "prison" of imprisonment, in ancient times, it was called round earth, which is the image of the city, so the imprisonment of the sheep robbery is also a sign that you will go to Yangcheng to take up a post. ”
Later, Xu Chao was given the title of Yangcheng Hou because of his merits, and the superstitious people believed that he had fulfilled the dream sign.
Emperor Wen of Sui dreamed of the river at night
Tang Zhang's "Du Yi Zhi" records an incident by Emperor Wen of Sui. Before The Sui Emperor Yang Jian became emperor, he used to take a boat and travel in the river late at night, watching songs and dances, and falling asleep. He had a dream in the boat, in which he said that his left hand had been cut off, and when he woke up, he was scared out of a lot of sweat, and when he was sending out the army, he had this kind of dream, and anyone would be frightened.
With an uneasy mood, Yang Jian stepped onto the shore, and there was a grass nunnery between the cliffs on the shore, and he saw an old monk in the nunnery. Yang Jian saw that this person had a childlike appearance, and wanted to come to the Tao, that is, he went forward to talk with him, and talked about last night's dream in the conversation, and asked the old monk to fulfill the dream on his behalf. When the old monk heard this, he said, "Zenza! Good riddance! Your Excellency, be the Son of Heaven. Cut off the left hand, that is, one hand left, one hand, one fist also. That is, monopoly of power. The old monk used the harmonic sounds of "fist" and "power."
Yang Jian later became emperor, that is, he built a temple for the old monk, named Jixiang Temple.
