- Mansion verse
- Building under Tail brings heavenly favor, increasing wealth, glory, blessings and official income. Wealth and treasures strengthen the household; harmonious marriages bring distinguished descendants. Burial on this day brings upright men and women and thriving offspring. Opening a door or releasing water attracts fields and homes, with generations of nobles spreading the family name.
