《A Hazy Dream World from Ancient China》E13
Gonggong and Xiangliu·Floods and Wild Beasts
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Ping of Jin had a dream in which he saw a red bear peeking at him through a screen, which frightened him to death.So he asked Zichan what was going on, and Zichan said: "In the past, Gonggong had a minister named Fuyou who was defeated by Zhuanxu and sank into the abyss of the Huaihe River."This floating creature is red in color, seems to be smiling when it talks, and looks left and right when walking, often causing harm to the king of the world.
If the king saw it in the court, his life would be in danger.If you see it at the steps of the court, the world will be in turmoil.If you see him at the door, the minister of the Imperial Guard will cause trouble.If you see it in the hall, the harm is not great. Today it peeked at your screen. Fortunately, it didn't hurt you. For peace of mind, you might as well offer sacrifices to Zhuanxu and Gonggong%.
