Wong Tai Sin No. 30 Fortune Stick

The Strangling of Consort Yang at Mawei Slope

Very Bad

A peerless beauty with a hundred charms,

all other palace ladies lost their names.

Her soul flew away at the foot of Mawei Mountain,

leaving the Emperor with endless regret.

ALLUSION

Allusion

Historical allusion artwork for Wong Tai Sin Sign 30, The Strangling of Consort Yang at Mawei Slope

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang exclusively doted on Consort Yang. He took no interest in any of the six palace beauties. When An Lushan rebelled, he sent troops to suppress him. Upon reaching Mawei Slope, the three armies refused to advance, demanding that the Emperor execute Consort Yang before they would proceed. So, Consort Yang died at the foot of Mawei Slope, and her soul flew up to the heavens. Emperor Xuanzong regrets it endlessly to this day.

This stick has misfortune without good fortune. Those who draw this stick must be cautious in all matters, and should also guard against the gossip of petty people. Moreover, they must first reform their evil ways and turn to goodness to transform misfortune into good fortune. It is advisable to pray to Guanyin for blessings.

This stick is also interpreted as: Consort Yang Hanging Herself. Consort Yang was originally the daughter-in-law of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. The father took his son's wife. Emperor Xuanzong became infatuated with Consort Yang's beauty and neglected state affairs, concentrating all his favor on her. When An Lushan rebelled, the royal family fled to Mawei Post Station. The soldiers of the six armies blamed Consort Yang, forcing the Emperor to execute her at Guipo. This stick laments that even though Consort Yang had beauty that could topple kingdoms, her fate was tragic and she died a miserable death. After her death, she and Emperor Xuanzong were separated, one in heaven, one on earth. Those who draw this stick must take this as a warning.
