From Yuan Dynasty, Guan Hanqing's "The Injustice to Dou E," Act II: "Child, have you ever calculated our eight characters, when will the Hongluan and Tianxi arrive in our fate?" From Yuan Dynasty, Liu Tingxin's "Duanzhenghao · Jin Qian Wen Bu" suite: "The useful god has Tianxi arriving, indicating prosperity in wealth and officialdom."

Verse: "Tianxi and Peach Blossom are most joyful to see, bringing joyous unions from heaven. When it appears in one's fate, it leads to romantic paths. A life with Tianxi brings happiness to the bridal sedan. In the years of Zi and Chou, look for Rooster and Monkey; in Yin and Mao years, seek Sheep and Horse; if in Chen and Si, observe Snake and Dragon; in Wu and Wei years, find Rabbit and Tiger; in the years of Shen and You, seek Ox and Rat; in Xu and Hai years, look for Pig and Dog. This is the true Peach Blossom of Tianxi, bringing great joy to one's life."
