Stick #48
Wenjun Sells Wine - The story of Zhuo Wenjun, a widow who eloped with poet Sima Xiangru and later ran a wine shop together in poverty before his rise to fame.
FairPoem
In silk pavilion, stirred by zither's plea,
At midnight's hour she fled joyfully.
Poor yet proud, they poured wine in town,
Scholar and beauty both cooking down.
繡閣聽琴自起思
改粧寅夜最歡時
可憐沽酒臨邛市
才子佳人兩下廚
Interpretation
This sign tells of Zhuo Wenjun, a widow who eloped with poet Sima Xiangru after hearing his zither. They endured poverty running a wine shop together before his eventual success. Those drawing this sign should prepare for initial hardships requiring patience - difficulties will ease with time. Neither strictly lucky nor unlucky, it signifies ordinary struggles preceding better days.
