500        |a The print shows an episode from the Yuan dynasty play entitled Shen Wansan. Shen, a native from Suzhou, was betrothed as a child to a daughter of the Liu family, called Weiwen. Because Shen was addicted to gambling the family would soon be living in poverty if Shen were not to mend his ways. The Liu patriarch had already pleaded with Shen but to no avail. Therefore he buried what remained of his family’s wealth and only told his wife about it. She in turn persuaded her daughter Weiwen to disguise herself as a man in order to dissuade her husband from getting into further debts. She follows him to a gambling den and challenges him to a game of dice. Weiwen wins the bargain and thus saves Shen Wansan from ruin. When she reveals herself to him he is filled with remorse and vows never to gamble again. Other characters from the play are also depicted as well as deities associated with wealth. As if to emphasise the bets at stake, the gambling table is literally filled with gold ingots. Symbols of luck, prosperity and wealth are scattered throughout the print.
