Classical Texts
《周公解梦》 / Duke of Zhou's Dream Book
梦租金者主正财，顺收足额福运来；租银丰厚家业旺，安分纳租口碑佳；欠租争执多口舌，讨要无收获财差。
Interpretation: Dreaming of rent primarily portends stable (Earner/Direct Wealth) resources arriving at your door. Collecting the full amount of rent smoothly and successfully means good fortune naturally arrives. Abundant and surplus rental income signifies family enterprises gradually becoming prosperous and developed. Paying rent on time, abiding by the rules, indicates excellent personal reputation and popularity. Tenants being in arrears and constant disputes easily attract arguments and trouble over money matters. Chasing after rent payments everywhere with no harvest signifies weak (Earner/Direct Wealth) fortune and difficulty in acquiring wealth.
《梦林玄解》 / Dream Forest's Profound Explanation
租金者，不动产之利、安稳之财也；收之顺则财库充盈，得之厚则家运兴隆；欠租争利者招非，讨租无获者运滞；守信纳租者人助，贪利赖租者福衰。
Interpretation: Rent represents the benefit from immovable property and a stable, long-term financial fortune. Collecting rent smoothly fills the treasury with abundance and wealth. Receiving rich and surplus income makes the household luck flourish and prosper. Defaulting on rent and fighting over profit easily invites disputes and trouble. Failing to gain anything from chasing rent payments stagnates one's fortune in seeking wealth. Being trustworthy and paying rent on time makes it easy to receive help from others, a Nobleman (貴人). Being greedy for profit, refusing to honor the agreement, certainly leads to a decline in one's own good fortune.
