The ten Plum Blossom poems attributed to Shao Yong (邵雍/邵康節, 1011–1077) — the fifth text on the verbatim prophecy shelf, and a familiar author: the catalogue already computes his 皇極經世 cosmic cycles (huangji) and the 河洛理數 tradition that transmits through him. Ten quatrains of seven-character lines — 280 characters from 蕩蕩天門萬古開 to 四海為家孰主賓, the tenth naming the work with 數點梅花天地春 — each carrying the received tradition's dynasty readings (poem 2 the Southern Song, 飛來燕子 the Yongle usurpation) as history, never as endorsement. FORM LAWS at load: exactly 10 poems × 4 lines × 7 characters, byte-exact reconstruction checksum, ordinal sequence, and the opening/title/closing anchors corroborated across recensions — with the wikisource witness's own orthography (几人, 胡儿, 剝复) kept VERBATIM and the popular recension's normalization named, not silently applied. Query all ten or any one. A classical prophecy cycle for literary and historical study — NO claim any line predicts modern events.

Cost: 2 TIAN Points per call. tRPC procedure `meihuashi.read`.
