欲攀仙桂蟾宮去
豈慮天門不放開

Classic commentary

此卦手扳仙桂之象。凡事必有貴人也。

商賈利益。行載無危。病安訟遂。盡可施為。

The story · Gao Huaide Marries a Princess

Gao Huaide, a founding general of the Song, helped Zhao Kuangyin take the throne at Chenqiao. He later married the emperor's sister, the Princess of Yan, became imperial son-in-law, and campaigned against Liao alongside the Yang generals. His rise rested on earlier merit and loyalty.
