Classical Texts
《周公解梦》 (Duke of Zhou Dream Interpretation)
梦遗嘱者主传承，公允立嘱家宅宁；安分继承福运旺，争嘱结怨祸难平；亲留遗命多荫庇，伪造虚言运势倾。
Interpretation: Dreaming of a will signifies the inheritance of family fortune. Establishing a fair and reasonable will brings peace and harmony to the household with no disputes. Inheriting the estate rightfully and without greed leads to increasing prosperity. Fighting over the will breeds resentment and invites insurmountable troubles. A will left by relatives or friends often brings the protective blessings of elders. Forging a will driven by greed will ultimately cause one's own fortune to collapse and decline.
《梦林玄解》 (Dream Forest, Profound Interpretation)
遗嘱者，身后之托、家业之传也；心正则嘱正，家和则福绵；争业者损德，造假者折福；安分承继，则天佑家昌；贪妄强求，则人怨运衰。
Interpretation: A will is the final entrustment of matters and the transmission of family wealth. Righteous intentions create a fair will, family harmony ensures continuous blessings. Those who fight for the estate damage their virtue, those who forge a will diminish their own good fortune. Peacefully inheriting one's rightful share invites divine protection and family prosperity. Greedy, deluded attempts to grasp what is not rightfully yours will stir resentment from others and lead to declining fortune.
