Classical Texts
《周公解梦》 (The Duke of Zhou's Interpretation of Dreams)
梦买物称心愿可全，公道交易福运绵；售货兴隆财源旺，买卖公允百事安；购得假货遭人骗，滞销亏本运难攀。 Colloquial Explanation: Dreaming of buying a satisfactory item means the heartfelt wish can be completely fulfilled. Fair and honest trade brings lasting good fortune. A thriving sales business means financial sources and prosperity are increasingly vigorous. Fair transactions without loss or disadvantage mean all matters can proceed peacefully and smoothly. Buying counterfeit or inferior goods and being cheated means one is easily plotted against by petty people in reality. Goods that are unsellable, cause losses, or are hard to move indicate that one's own financial fortune and luck find it hard to climb upward.
《梦林玄解》 (Master Linxuan's Explanation of Dreams)
买者，求也，求机缘、遂心愿之象；卖者，兑也，变现才华、聚财禄之征也；买良物则所愿皆成，售通畅则财利自来；交易欺瞒则损福亏缘，滞销无市则怀才不遇。 Colloquial Explanation: The act of buying is a symbol of seeking—seeking opportunities and fulfilling one's wishes. The act of selling is a sign of exchanging—converting one's talents into value and gathering wealth and prosperity. Buying an excellent quality item means all desired outcomes can be realized. Having goods sell smoothly means profit and benefit will naturally arrive. A deceptive or fraudulent transaction will erode blessings and damage connections. Goods that stagnate and find no market represent that a person's talents go unrecognized and their worth remains unappreciated.
