Wong Tai Sin No. 5 Fortune Stick
Lady Han Cherishes Flowers
A fierce gale swept through the eastern garden last night,
All the brilliant colors and blooms were laid low.
Fortunately, a flower-lover rose early at dawn,
To nurture the roots and replant them for growth anew.

ALLUSION
Allusion

The flowers in the eastern garden are struck by violent wind and all are thrown askew. Yet someone who truly cherishes flowers rises early, labors patiently, and tends the roots until life returns. The danger passes and the blossoms revive. This points to the aid of a benefactor. That flower-cherishing figure may be another person, or it may be oneself acting in time.
This lot suggests a year of real turbulence. Timing is somewhat unfavorable, circumstances may easily shift against you, and the one thing most worth relying on is human support. If help from a noble person appears, the crisis can be crossed and vitality restored. The omen is not free of hardship, but it does contain rescue. To receive that help, one should immediately correct conduct, cultivate goodness, and win trust through character.
Another version of the verse says: when peach and plum blossoms fill the garden, pale and deep colors are both lovely. Why should the east wind envy them so bitterly that by dawn it snaps the highest branch? The image again is one of sudden damage striking what is beautiful.
Lady Han is commonly identified as the wife of the Song general Han Shizhong, often associated with Liang Hongyu, though some traditions instead describe her as a consort of Emperor Yang of Sui. In either telling, she is remembered here as one who treasured flowers and restored what had nearly been ruined.
