Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation Story

Dong Feng returned to China after studying abroad for three years, but his wife was killed that night, so his wife's brother thought it was Dong Feng, so he sent Dong Feng to the government for punishment. Dong Feng was very wronged, insisting that his wife was not his fault. But who is the murderer? This is a big case of life and death. If there is a slight mistake, not only will the deceased not be repented, but another life is likely to be hurt. Fu Rong, a guard of Beijing School, considered this matter carefully, and felt a little strange, so he asked Dong Feng if he had asked someone to read divination. Sure enough, Dong Feng said that before the incident, he dreamed that he rode across the river, first from the north bank to the south bank, then from the south bank to the north bank, and finally from the north bank to the south bank. At the right time, the horse stopped in the water and refused to go no matter how whipped. He looked down and soaked in the water for two days. On the first day, the horse was white and wet. The right side of the horse is black and looks dry. When he woke up, he clearly remembered the scene in his dream and was very scared. He thought it must be an ominous sign. Strangely, he had the same dream the night he came back. He found a dreamer for him, and the fortune teller told him that he was afraid of prison proceedings in the near future and warned him to "stay away from three pillows and avoid three baths." He remembered the words of the diviner. He refused to accept the bath and pillow that his wife prepared for him that night, but he woke up the next day and his wife was killed. After listening to Dong Feng's dream, Fu Rong deciphered it himself, and finally concluded that the murderer of Dong Feng's wife was a man named Feng Chang. He deciphered Dong Feng's dream image in this way: Fu Rong transformed Dong Feng's dream image into the divinatory image in Zhouyi: the symbol of water is "Kan" and the symbol of horse is "Li"; Because the horse walks from north to south and from south to north in the water, its route is tortuous; Therefore, Dong Feng's dream image can be transformed into "separation from the barrier". The shape of "Kan" is three, and after three changes, it becomes the shape of "Li". Li is a woman with two masculine bodies and one feminine body, and Kan is a man with two feminine bodies and one masculine body. Dong Feng saw "two days" in the water, symbolizing two men involved, one is Dong Feng and the other is still unclear. "Kan" is also a symbol of law enforcement and should be in the world. As a result, the top-down "Gigi" divination was formed. According to this divination precedent, "Wang Wen met it and the prisoner envied it." If the defendant is right, he will end up in prison. According to the dream of "wet horse on the left", the left side should be water and the right side should be horse, which together is the word "abundant". "Two days" is both important and "constant". Therefore, the real murderer who killed Dong Feng's wife should be another man, "Feng Chang". Although the process of deciphering was complicated, when the government arrested Chang Feng on this basis, Chang Feng really confessed. According to the murderer, the only object he wanted to kill was Dong Feng, who was scheduled to use a new pillow as a symbol, but he didn't know that Dong Feng didn't use a new pillow that night, so he killed his wife by mistake. The example of this dream is translated from the original text recorded in Jin Shu Rong Rong's biography. In the story, the analysis of Dong Mengmeng is used to break the prison and solve the case, which can be said to be painstaking. However, even from the professional perspective of dreams, there are many explanations that are too far-fetched.
