What do you mean, the tables are turned? Can you express it in simple English?

To put it bluntly: now you are lucky and I am unlucky, but you will not be lucky forever, and I will not be unlucky forever. There will always be an upside down day. It's my turn to be lucky, but you're unlucky.

The tables have turned. Come to my house next year. This is not a poem. This sentence comes from the three yuan and nine fortunes of Feng Shui.

Moral: Good luck will not always follow you, and good things will not always accompany you. A person's life can't always be smooth sailing, and there can't be a time when drinking cold water will clog his teeth. This is the same as thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, which shows that a person's life is ups and downs and cannot be dull forever.

Three-Yuan Nine-Luck is a method of dividing time in China. The ancients divided 20 years into one fortune, and three 20 years were three fortunes, forming one yuan. The ternary games are Shangyuan, Zhongyuan and Xia Yuan, and each yuan has three games, which are collectively called "Sanyuan Nine Games".

Shangyuan is the first, second and third luck; The Central Plains is the fourth, fifth and sixth luck; The next yuan is the seventh, eighth and ninth luck. 60-year shipment per yuan, 3 yuan total 180 years. It has been recorded in the Yellow Calendar since ancient times and used in combination with the dry calendar, which is mostly used for geomantic omen.

The turn of feng shui comes from the three yuan and nine fortunes of feng shui. It is said that one flower is called one yuan in sixty years and three flowers are called three yuan in one hundred and eighty years. Every twenty years is a fortune, a total of nine fortunes. Ancient astrologers believe that every 20 years, there will be different stars that affect people in turn. So there is no eternal land of feng shui. So people often say: the wind and water turn, come to my house next year.
