ALLUSION
Allusion

During the Han Dynasty, the Zhuo family had a daughter named Wenjun, newly widowed. Hearing Sima Xiangru playing the qin, they found common ground, conceived mutual affection, and fell in love. She changed her clothes at night and fled to be with him, becoming his wife. But the family was poor. The couple opened a wine stall in Linqiong Market. One was a talented scholar, the other a beauty. Both had to tend the stove and sell wine. This also has an atmosphere of hardship. Sima Xiangru later achieved great nobility.
Those who draw this lot should endure humiliation and suffering in all matters; there will be difficulty first, then ease. This lot cannot be considered auspicious, nor can it be considered inauspicious—it is simply ordinary.
