Duke of Zhou, also known as Zhou Gongdan, was the uncle of King Cheng of Zhou. He made great contributions to the establishment and improvement of the feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty. The Duke of Zhou enjoys a lofty status in Confucian culture. Confucius' words "I will no longer dream of seeing the Duke of Zhou" are a metaphor for the loss of etiquette culture in the Zhou Dynasty.
The Duke of Zhou is a character who frequently appears in Confucius' dreams. In China, where Confucianism has long dominated culture, the Duke of Zhou is inevitably directly linked to dreams. Dreams are often called "Dream of Duke Zhou" or "Dream of Duke Zhou". Therefore, the Duke of Zhou in the dream is the Duke of Zhou.
Dream culture is an indispensable and important part of ancient Chinese culture. Although it is difficult to reach the level of elegance, it is widely spread among the people. "Dream Interpretation by Zhou Gong" is a dream interpretation book spread among the people. It was written in the name of Zhou Gong Ji Dan for future generations. The book lists various dreams and predicts good or bad dreams.
