Cao Cao had a dream at night. The fortune teller only said eight words, and Cao Cao dared not proclaim himself emperor until he died.

In the long history of China for thousands of years, the ancients have always been superstitious. They think that they dream at night, which is a reflection of reality. What they dreamed in their dreams may come true in reality, so the ancients attached great importance to dreams. So later, someone specially came to interpret dreams, making dream interpretation a profession and a culture.

In the field of dream interpretation, I'm afraid the most powerful dream interpretation belongs to Duke Zhou. He also published a book called Duke Zhou, which contains all kinds of dreams. In ancient times, emperors and princes and ordinary people were superstitious, such as Qin Shihuang and Liang Wudi, who paid a huge price to live forever and get the elixir.

The Three Kingdoms is another period of great division in China's history. From the beginning, Liu Bei and Sun Quan became emperors, but why didn't Cao Cao, the most powerful, become emperors? Why? It is said to have something to do with a dream that Cao Cao had. One night, Cao Cao had a very strange dream. I didn't know what it meant, so I invited a fortune teller.

A fortune teller was invited, and Cao Cao asked the fortune teller to analyze his dreams. After hearing this, the fortune teller told Cao Cao eight words, which made Cao Cao not proclaimed himself until he died. So what did Cao Cao dream? Cao Cao told the fortune teller that I dreamed of a dragon and a dumpling python. Dragons fly in the sky and pythons swim in the water.

The fortune teller listened to Cao Cao's words and said eight words to Cao Cao, "The dragon is still there, but the dumpling python can't." Gu Long represents the emperor, and Jiao Python represents the powerful minister. It is also telling Cao Cao that you can't be an emperor. Now that the son of heaven is still here, even if the dumpling python is no better, you can't become a climate.

At that time, Cao Cao held the military and political power in the Han Dynasty and dominated one side. At that time, Emperor Xian was still there, and the luck of the Han Dynasty was not over yet. At that time, the world was not unified. If Cao Cao rashly proclaimed himself emperor, it would inevitably arouse the public opinion of political opponents and those who supported the Han Dynasty, and put him in a passive position. Maybe he will end up like Yuan Shu and Dong Zhuo, and he will be charged with treason.

After listening to the fortune teller, Cao Cao gave up the idea of being an emperor, so that he never became an emperor all his life. Cao Cao didn't claim to be the emperor, but his son Cao Pi helped Cao Cao realize his dream. After xelloss proclaimed himself emperor, Cao Cao was named Wei Mingdi.
