- Mansion verse
- Under Chariot, build a dragon palace by the water: generations become officials and receive imperial titles. Wealth, glory, longevity and official income increase, and full storehouses and granaries bring prosperity. Burial gains the help of Wenchang, the star of learning; the home remains peaceful and free of misfortune. Officials also receive imperial favor, while marriage is likened to a dragon child entering the dragon palace.
