- Mansion verse
- Building under Ghost brings sudden death, leaving the household without its master. Burial on this day, however, brings rank and official income, with descendants close to the ruler for generations. Opening a door or releasing water brings injury and death; marriage does not endure. Earthwork and wall building harm women in childbirth, leaving two girls held by the hand amid tears.
