Chang Dazhong, a Jinshi (successful candidate in the highest imperial examination), hailed from Taiyuan and was currently waiting in the capital for an official post assignment.

The night before the appointment was handed down, Chang Dazhong had a dream in which he saw the Star of Literature descend, presenting him with a stitched notice. Upon opening it, he read four characters: "Zitong County Magistrate."

The next day, Chang Dazhong was indeed appointed County Magistrate and departed for Zitong to take up his post.

Later, Chang Dazhong's mother passed away. He returned home to observe the mourning period. Once the three years were complete, he traveled back to the capital to await reappointment.

That night, he had the exact same dream again, thinking to himself, "Could it be Zitong County Magistrate once more?" Before long, the imperial court issued the appointment letter, and indeed, it was just that.
