- Mansion verse
- Building under Winnowing Basket brings strength and great prosperity year after year. Burial and grave repairs are highly favorable, with fields, silkworms, cattle and horses covering the hills. Opening a door or releasing water attracts fields and homes; chests fill with silver and gold and granaries with grain. Blessings shelter high officials and increase their ranks and salaries; the whole family enjoys abundance and peace.
