allusion

Once upon a time, someone in the state of Cao dreamed that a group of people were standing in the social palace offering sacrifices to the God of earth, discussing the destruction of the state of Cao. Cao shuzhenduo, the founding monarch of the state of Cao, stopped them in his dream and asked them to wait for a man named Gongsun Qiang to show up. So all the gentlemen agreed. After daybreak, the dreamer tried to find the man named Gongsun Qiang in the state of Cao, but failed to find him. So when the man was dying, he warned his son, "after my death, you heard that Gongsun Qiang was in power. He must leave the state of Cao and not suffer the disaster of the destruction of the state of Cao." Later, Cao Boyang became the king of the country. As expected, he promoted a man named Gongsun Qiang to power, and the dreamer's son fled from the state of Cao. In 487 BC, Song Dynasty destroyed Cao and killed Cao Boyang and Gongsun Qiang. This dream came true. Later, it quoted allusions as omens of national subjugation.
