Dreaming of Striking a Wooden Fish and Reciting Scriptures

Dreaming of striking a wooden fish and reciting scriptures indicates that some unresolved issues that have been bothering you lately will be resolved.

Modern psychology explains the meaning of dreaming of striking a wooden fish and reciting scriptures.

The wooden fish is a percussion instrument that was originally used in Taoism and Buddhism to gather worshippers and recite scriptures during rituals.

According to the records in the Chongdaoji (Records of Veneration of the Dao) from various dynasties, the wooden fish originated in the Tang Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Minghuang. It was used in Taoist rituals to gather worshippers and recite scriptures. Its origin can be traced back to Taoism.

The Chongdaoji also records that in Quzhou, there was a fish that pierced through the ground, measuring three feet long. Its appearance resembled iron, with a faint purple and blue color, similar to bluestone, and it was exquisitely carved and shiny, beyond the skills of human craftsmanship. When struck, it produced a loud sound. The fish did not have a name, so it was sent as a tribute. Emperor Minghuang ordered it to be displayed to the officials, but they couldn't identify it. The emperor then named it "Ruìyú Qìng" (Auspicious Fish Chime) and hung it in the Taiwei Palace, where it could only be struck during scripture recitations and rituals.

As a result, various palaces and temples imitated it with wooden or stone replicas to gather worshippers.

Dreaming of striking a wooden fish and reciting scriptures indicates that some unresolved issues that have been bothering you lately will be resolved.
