I am an encyclopedia reader, a person who likes to "gossip", the content of gossip is not vertical and not focused, cross-field and cross-category, you just listen, meaninglessly true or false.
Today we will talk about a rumor that has been circulating in the folk for a long time.
We have a long-standing culture, which has a lot of cultural treasures, but there are also some crap, such as Zhou Gong's dream interpretation.
Why is it said that Zhou Gong's dream interpretation is a mess? Because many of its contents belong to the category of rumors.
But some people are convinced of Zhou Gong's dream, so I will break this rumor for everyone.
First, let's talk about the book "Zhou Gong Interpreting Dreams".
Everyone thinks that "Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation" is from Zhou Gong's hand, so who is Zhou Gong?
The Duke of Zhou was surnamed Ji Mingdan, and his name was Ji Dan, and he had assisted his brother Ji Chang in his crusade against the King of Sui.
So why did he call Him Duke Zhou instead of Duke Ji?
Because Ji Dan's fief was in Zhou, and his title was in the position of duke, Ji Dan was honored as the Duke of Zhou.
So does the Zhou Guild interpret dreams?
Zhou Gong does not interpret dreams, in fact, Zhou Gong is busy dealing with state affairs all day, where is the time to interpret dreams? Haven't you heard of "Zhou Gong spits and feeds, the world returns to the heart"? Handling government affairs is Zhou Gong's daily work, and he has no time to interpret dreams for others.
Since Zhou Gong can't interpret dreams, who is the hand of "Zhou Gong Dream Interpretation"?
The author of Zhou Gong's dream interpretation is actually a large number of nameless people from the people, because no one believes what these people say, so they borrow the name of Zhou Gong. From the author's point of view, "Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation" is not true.
Aside from the fact that the author is not real, is the logic of the content real? The logic of the content is also not real.
Many of the explanations in Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation are more far-fetched, such as dreaming of and urine. "Zhou Gong Dream Interpretation" said that this means that he will get rich, and what is the logic behind it?
Because China used to be an agricultural country, relying on the sky to eat, the fertility of the crops represents the harvest, and the crops must rely on fertilizer to be fertile, there was no fertilizer in ancient times, so feces and urine is the best nutrient to make the crops fertile, so Zhou Gong Xie Dream dreams of urine as a symbol of wealth.
This explanation seems very logical, but in fact this logic is false.
In the "Introduction to Chinese Culture" clearly stated that our ancient understanding of things is mainly imaginary thinking, overall thinking and comparative thinking, we are actually very weak in logical thinking, and do not have a strong logical thinking ability, in this regard I will not extend the development, and I will have the opportunity to talk to you in detail later.
In order to break the rumors for everyone, here is a special way to crack the rumors in "Zhou Gong Dream Interpretation" that the loss of teeth represents the death of the family.
"Zhou Gong Dream Interpretation" believes that teeth grow in the gums, the ancients regarded the teeth as bone, the gums as meat, teeth falling from the gums is like the separation of flesh and bone, especially the elderly dream of losing teeth is usually not a good situation, indicating that the flesh and bones are separated, so someone in the family may die.
This explanation is actually a rumor, here to crack it for you.
We use the logic advocated by "Zhou Gong's Interpretation of Dreams", which is actually not logical at all, and treats his body in the way of a human being.
If it is said that if you dream of losing your teeth, the people in the family are going to die, then does losing a tooth mean that you have to die?
If this is the case, then a person has a total of 28-32 teeth in one mouth, and if he dreams that all his teeth have fallen out, does it mean that his family is facing the disaster of extinction?
And now the family is less than 10 people, full of teeth are lost, if it means that the family is going to die, then there are at least 18 people, where do these 18 people come from to make up for the difference? Does it mean to harm the three tribes?
If a person dreams that his teeth are missing, does it mean that there is nothing but a disaster? What about the three tribes?
But in fact, people who have dreamed of having lost their teeth have really experienced the disaster of extinction? Not really.
Even those who dream of losing their teeth have never had their families die in a short period of time.
Some of the levers have happened, and their so-called occurrences have not occurred in a short period of time, but over a long period of time. If you calculate it this way, anyone will die, as long as you dream of losing your teeth, your family will always die, because no one can live forever.
Therefore, people who hold the view that losing their teeth means that their family members are going to die are often self-deceitful.
So what is the true meaning of dreaming of losing teeth?
The meaning of dreaming of tooth loss is generally as follows.
The first indicates that growth becomes mature
At this stage of growing from a child to a teenager, we have experienced an important growth in life, and in this process, changing teeth is the most obvious sign.
Because people only change their teeth once in their lives, so losing teeth means growing, everyone has experienced this process, so losing teeth is universal, and its most basic meaning is to symbolize that they have become mature.
The second indicates that the inherent concept has been shaken
Teeth are the hardest part of the human body, and if humans had not evolved to where they are today, they would have used their teeth to catch prey like other animals. Therefore, the tooth has become our weapon to protect ourselves, it is also a tool for us to prey on growth, and it is also a bone.
The teeth in the dream represent what is deeply rooted in our body, which may be the conceptual consciousness that goes deep into the bone marrow, and the loss of the teeth means that our conceptual consciousness has been shaken and the self is changing.
The third is that one's own expression is misunderstood by others
When our teeth fall out, our speech and spit will be inaccurate because the teeth and tongue are not in place, and the result of inaccurate pronunciation is that others cannot understand our words, which is easy to misunderstand.
That is to say, there is a deviation in meaning between saying and listening, and the loss of teeth at this time symbolizes that the meaning you want to express is different from the content of the other party's understanding.
The fourth is the fear that one's image will be destroyed
When our teeth fall out, we will change our image, obviously not looking elegant enough, and will greatly reduce our image.
Therefore, the loss of teeth at this time represents the fear that their image in the eyes of others has changed, not perfect, flawed and "defective", for people who are very concerned about the appearance of others, it is easy to dream of tooth loss.
The fifth is to start aging yourself
Contrary to the first meaning of growth, it means aging, because tooth loss is not only the growth process that occurs, when a certain age, there will also be a loss of teeth, at this time the loss of teeth means aging.
Seven out of ten people have had dreams of tooth loss, but did the real situation like the death of their family members mentioned in "Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation" really happen? If you insist that it happened, you can only tell that everyone will die, and no one can live forever.
Therefore, "Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation" is not credible, it can be regarded as a rumor, and whoever believes in it will be psychologically hinted at, but will find trouble for themselves.
