Wong Tai Sin No. 60 Fortune Stick
Li Bai Drunk and the Foreign Document
Drunk and writing for the foreign envoy, his brushwork is like mist and smoke,
Day after day sleeping in the taverns of Chang'an.
Should he encounter the Tang Emperor's summoning decree,
He would loudly refuse to board the Magnolia boat.

ALLUSION
Allusion
The ancient figure Li Bai (Li Taibai) had a fondness for wine. He slept daily at a wine shop in the market of Chang'an. When Emperor Xuanzong of Tang issued an edict summoning him, even after repeated calls, he would not disembark from the boat. This was because that place was a good, carefree, and joyful location, and moreover, he did not covet wealth and status.
Those who obtain this lot should regard all matters with indifference. One must not be greedy or contend with others over superiority. Furthermore, form is emptiness, emptiness is form; do not be burdened by material desires. Take a step back and think, and natural happiness will follow. Judging by the lot, all matters are also stable and unhindered.
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang received a state letter from a foreign envoy. Emperor Xuanzong ordered the Hanlin Academicians to open and read it. Because no one understood the foreign script, Emperor Xuanzong was furious. He Zhizhang recommended the scholar Li Bai. The emperor summoned Li Bai, but Li Bai refused the summons. He Zhizhang reported, 'Last year during the examination, his paper was unfairly criticized by the examiner.' Emperor Xuanzong then conferred upon Li Bai the title of Jinshi (Advanced Scholar). Li Bai translated and read the state letter, greatly pleasing the Son of Heaven. That evening, a banquet was set. The next morning, Li Bai appeared at court still intoxicated. Emperor Xuanzong ordered Li Bai to draft an edict. Li Bai requested that Yang Guozhong (the Grand Tutor) hold the inkstone and Gao Lishi (the Grand Commandant) remove his boots. Emperor Xuanzong approved the request. The foreign envoy took the edict back to his country. The foreign king was greatly astonished that the Heavenly Dynasty had the assistance of an immortal and wrote a letter of surrender, vowing to pay tribute annually and come to court every year. Because Li Bai humiliated the powerful (which would surely have consequences later), this lot is not considered a top-grade, supremely auspicious lot.
