The
Warring States of Ancient China had just been united by the Jade Emperor, and
once again there was peace and prosperity. There were opportunities for each
and all to make their fortune and to create for oneself the good life.
But how does one achieve the good life?
How does one gain prosperity and fortune?
How does one achieve it without compromising truth and honesty?
The Children of the Imperial Court of Fortune and Prosperity wondered about
this and decided to hear it from the two most prosperous and most honoured citizens
of the capital city.
The Children of the Imperial Court of Fortune and Prosperity thus invited
Master Yuan and his sister Lady Lin to their gardens.
They were eager to learn from the two siblings who had made themselves wealthy
even in difficult times. And they were well-respected and honoured by all,
for they were caring, honest and truthful.
