What was the name of the official in charge of dream interpretation in ancient China?

Friend, my task, hope to adopt!

There was no special dream interpretation institution in ancient China. If you have to count, ancient wine festivals, or rites, may also be used as dream interpretation. Generally speaking, there is a saying of offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors, including officials of the Qing and Qin dynasties, who sometimes act as godsticks.

In addition, Zhou Gongdan, the Duke of Zhou, was Zhou Chengwang's uncle, who made great contributions to the establishment of the feudal system in the Zhou Dynasty. Duke Zhou enjoys a lofty position in Confucian culture. Confucius said, "I no longer dream of Duke Zhou", which is a metaphor for the loss of etiquette culture in the Zhou Dynasty.

Duke Zhou is a frequent figure in Confucius' dreams. In China, where Confucianism has dominated the culture for a long time, Duke Zhou is inevitably directly associated with dreams. Dreams are often called "dreams of Duke Zhou" or "dreams of Duke Zhou". The Duke of Zhou in The Duke of Zhou refers to Zhou Gongdan.
