The Story Behind the Lot
King Wu of Zhou enthroned
King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, was the son of King Wen of Zhou. He inherited the accumulated legacy of virtue built over generations, beginning with his ancestors Hou Ji and Gong Liu. He appointed worthy ministers such as Jiang Shang (also known as Jiang Taigong), allied with the regional lords, and raised an army against King Zhou of Shang. At the Battle of Muye, he decisively defeated the Shang forces. King Zhou burned himself to death, and the Shang dynasty fell. King Wu then founded the Zhou dynasty, established its capital at Haojing, and began the Zhou house’s eight-hundred-year reign, with a long-lasting state and generations of descendants. King Wu’s rise was no stroke of luck; it was the fulfillment of destiny, built on the past and carried forward in its proper time. This lot signifies deep foundations and a rising tide of fortune. Matters will go smoothly, and blessings will extend to future generations. It is a sign of great good fortune and wealth ordained by Heaven.
The Story Behind the Lot (alternate version)Another traditional version, for reference
Guo Ai Marries a Princess
Guo Ai was the son of the Tang general Guo Ziyi. He married Princess Shengping, daughter of Emperor Daizong of Tang, and became an imperial son-in-law. Guo Ziyi had suppressed the An Lushan Rebellion and restored the Tang dynasty, earning unmatched distinction and bringing honor to his entire family. According to legend, Guo Ai once quarreled with the princess and angrily remarked that even if her father were the emperor, his own father would not care to be emperor. When Daizong heard of this, he instead reassured Guo Ziyi that he need not take offense, giving rise to a well-known story of harmony between sovereign, subject, and their families. The Guo family reached the highest ranks, enjoying prosperity for generations, flourishing descendants, and lasting good fortune. This lot signifies a family with strong support and stable blessings, able to enjoy peace and prosperity across generations. It is a highly auspicious sign.
