ALLUSION
Allusion
Master Zhang Qian, on a moonlit night, sailed his boat to the Milky Way. He saw a fairy maiden weaving at her loom, so he took a stone from the loom's head and returned with it. Few people in the world could recognize this treasure, not knowing it came from beyond the clouds. This lot indicates that one possesses a treasure but fails to recognize it oneself, a scene signifying difficulty in encountering noble assistance.
Those who draw this lot should actively practice kindness and share goodness with others, and then noble people will naturally come to appreciate them. A rare treasure, obtained by oneself alone, is auspicious. This lot indicates that all matters are auspicious, with no misfortune or hindrance; there is no need for worry or doubt.
This lot is also known as: Zhang Qian Obtains the Precious Stone. During the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian, a native of Chenggu, was ordered by Emperor Wu to serve as an envoy to the Yuezhi and open up the southwestern regions. He once rode a raft straight up to the Milky Way, entering the palace of the Dipper and Ox constellations. There he saw a maiden playing with a golden shuttle, with a stone beside her. When asked, she did not answer, only saying he could ask Yan Junping to find out. Yan Junping, a man from Shu, was skilled in astronomy and divination. When Zhang Qian went to inquire, Yan said this was the Weaving Maiden, the Celestial Granddaughter, and the stone was named the Loomstone.
