Historical allusion artwork for Wong Tai Sin Sign 47, The Wu Lord Demands Jingzhou

Formerly, Liu Bei borrowed Jing Province from Wu. After Liu Bei obtained Shu, Eastern Wu sent an envoy to Western Shu to demand the return of Jing Province. Before Liu Bei could utter a word, he wept bitterly with tears. He pondered himself, having no strategy to resolve the situation. By this one bout of weeping, he managed to keep Jing Province—borrowing without returning. At the moment of his weeping, it was a scene of sorrow and worry.

Those who draw this lot should endure humiliation and suffering in all matters and perform many good deeds to turn misfortune into good fortune. Judging by this lot, misfortune outweighs good fortune.

This lot is also known as: Lu Su Demands Jing Province. In the early days of the Three Kingdoms standoff, Liu Bei once borrowed Jing Province from Sun Quan as a temporary place to stay. Later, Eastern Wu repeatedly sent Lu Su to demand its return from Liu Bei, but Liu Bei offered many excuses and even shed tears. Naturally, Jing Province 'left without looking back.' In this lot, what is given is not repaid, and there is also an image of weeping.
