- Mansion verse
- Extended Net is favorable for building fine halls, with estates and fields increasing year after year. Burial is soon followed by promotion, and generations serve as officials before the emperor. Opening a door or releasing water attracts wealth; harmonious marriages bring enduring blessings. Fields, silkworms and household members prosper, storehouses fill, and every matter proceeds smoothly and peacefully.
