Wang Yun Presents Diao Chan

Above Average

Strolling under the bright moon to the flower railings,

Without a strategy, how can one eliminate the treacherous?

Fortunately, Diao Chan thought of stabilizing the state,

Even heroes find it hard to pass the beauty's barrier.

Wang Yun Presents Diao Chan allusion illustration

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the treacherous minister Dong Zhuo held power. Minister of the Interior Wang Yun wanted to eliminate him but had no strategy. While strolling by the flower rail on a moonlit night, a maidservant named Diaochan offered a plan to stabilize the Han Dynasty. Wang Yun then used Diaochan to charm Dong Zhuo, marrying her to him. Dong Zhuo, a heroic figure, became infatuated with Diaochan. Conflict arose between him and his sworn son Lü Bu over the beautiful woman, leading to Dong Zhuo's execution. This is a case of a hero failing to pass the test of a beauty's charm. This lot describes Wang Yun pondering a strategy to eliminate Dong Zhuo by the flowers on a moonlit night. Fortunately, the maidservant Diaochan volunteered to serve her country with her body, fulfilling Wang Yun's beauty trap.

Those who draw this lot must establish a loyal, righteous, and upright heart in all matters, refusing to collude with improper people. Be diligent in work and do your best. With such a good heart, one can move others, encounter noble people, and receive their assistance. There will be difficulty first, then ease, and ultimately success. This lot has good fortune and no misfortune, but one must guard against the slander of petty people.
