As a well-known dream story, "Meng Ying" is related to the sage Confucius, who is called "the teacher of a generation". The allusion of this dream is to the effect that:
One day, Confucius suddenly felt that his life was coming to an end. He first told the student Zi Gong the difference between various funerals, and then said, "Qiu, Yin people are also. In the past night, the dream sat between two trees. If you know that you are not prosperous, you will die if the world can give it. "
I had a dream, sitting between two pillars in a hall, and I thought I might die soon. Later, Confucius really fell ill for seven days and died. Traditional dream interpretation scholars believe that sitting between two trees and enjoying wine and food sacrifices is the position and appearance of the dead, and this situation in the dream is a sign of death. Later generations often use the allusion "Meng Ying" to express death.
