Classical Records

  1. "Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation"

    梦冲突者主怨生,化解纷争福运增;和平收场万事吉,打斗受伤祸难成;轻微吵架及时止,争吵不休运难升。

    Interpretation: Dreaming of conflict, arguments, or fighting foretells the breeding of contradiction and harbored hostility. Resolving disputes and living in peace will increase one's fortune.
