The Story Behind the Lot
Li Dan's auspicious match
During the Tang dynasty, Li Dan drifted among the common people and married Hu Fengjiao. They were a dragon and a phoenix: though they came from very different backgrounds, they were a match made in heaven. They endured upheaval together, sharing hardship and danger. Later, Li Dan’s fortunes turned; he regained his esteemed position, and the couple reunited, bringing prosperity to their household. Their marriage seemed accidental, yet was in truth ordained by fate and could not be forced by human effort. The poem uses this story to suggest that a good marriage has its own destined timing. Even if there are setbacks now, by following the right moment and remaining true to yourself, you can ultimately find harmony and prosperity. This is a highly auspicious sign.
The Story Behind the Lot (alternate version)Another traditional version, for reference
Shao Kangjie Determines Yin and Yang
Shao Kangjie was the great Song dynasty scholar Shao Yong. He studied the principles, images, and numbers of the Book of Changes, developed Plum Blossom Numerology, and was skilled at using the waxing and waning of yin and yang to interpret the affairs of heaven, earth, and humanity. He understood that all things follow the balance of yin and yang and have their seasons of flourishing and decline; marriage, childbirth, success, and failure all unfold in their proper time. This story is included to emphasize that things require harmony between yin and yang and the right timing, and should not be forced through impatient action. If you act in season and wait calmly for the right moment, marriage can be harmonious, children may be expected, and your wishes can come to fulfillment in due course.
