- Mansion verse
- Building under Neck burdens the eldest branch of the family; calamity is foretold within ten days. Fields diminish and officials lose their posts; a turn of fortune brings injury from tigers and wolves. Marriage on this day leaves descendants and the new bride in an empty chamber. Burial on this day brings severe harm and disaster.
