Mansion verse
Building under Encampment brings fields and cattle, and descendants remain close to princes and nobles for generations. Wealth and glory descend from heaven, with a life as long as Pengzu’s legendary eight thousand autumns. Opening a door or releasing water attracts riches; harmonious marriages bring distinguished children. Burial on this day prospers the family and brings unending blessings.
