Card meaning

Upright - what happened in the shop leaves the shop. What you say today is heard outside the door.

Reversed - stand where the rumour is and the song gets made about you.

The card meanings are a game.

The tale

Ssanghwajeom is a song of the Goryeo period.

Its words survive in the Akjang Gasa collection.

It runs through four scenes: a dumpling shop, a temple, a well and a tavern.

Each scene repeats the same frame of a rumour spreading.

The Goryeosa describes the song as a song of love between man and woman.
