The Tale of Chunhyang

There is no picture for this card yet.

Upright - a promise is judged by whether it holds when nobody is watching. Today you stand in that place.

Reversed - the secret inspector comes late. Holding out until then is your own share.

The card meanings are a game.

Chunhyang and Yi Mong-ryong meet in Namwon and promise to marry.

After he leaves for Hanyang, the new magistrate demands she serve him.

She refuses and is put in prison.

Yi Mong-ryong returns to Namwon as a secret royal inspector.

The tale survives as pansori and as a novel; Gwanghallu in Namwon is its setting.

We have not yet measured which places connect to this tale.
