Cultural Explanation

This passage reflects traditional Chinese beliefs about the symbolism of various materials and items as omens for one’s future. It is a collection of sayings that associate these elements with predictions of good or bad fortune, often related to wealth, health, and social status.

  1. Precious Metals and Stones: Gold, silver, and jade are considered symbols of wealth and are associated with prosperity and honor. Different forms of these materials, such as rings or piles, carry specific meanings related to pregnancy, childbirth, or accumulation of wealth.
  2. Money and Wealth: Money is seen as a direct symbol of wealth, with its presence or acquisition foretelling good fortune, especially in spring and summer. However, there are also cautions about the potential for money to bring misfortune, particularly in the context of dividing family wealth or during certain seasons.
  3. Textiles and Clothing: Textiles like silk and brocade are associated with power and official status when bestowed by nobles. However, giving textiles to others or receiving linen clothes can have negative connotations, foretelling disputes or misfortune.
  4. Health and Healing: Certain materials and actions, such as inlaid lead utensils or returning money, are believed to be associated with the healing of illness.
  5. Daily Life and Work: Activities such as spinning and weaving are seen as positive, foretelling a long life, while others, like acupuncture, may have negative implications.
