- Mansion verse
- Building under Three Stars prospers the household, illuminated by the brilliant star of learning. Construction increases fields and wealth, but burial invites illness and mourning in the yellow earth. Opening a door or releasing water advances official rank, and every branch of the family gains land. Betrothal or marriage faces punishment and conflict; men and women are likened to flowers that open in the morning and fall by evening.
