Re: 1.14 打馬賦 Rhapsody on Capture the Horse
Date:

From:

"A thousand gold is wagered on a single throw" is an idiom for extravagance, unclear if it comes from this or if it predates
Baike:
Baike's gloss on the black eyes is that it is the jackpot roll, so people would shout that.
Yellow leaves is glossed as money.
Interesting use of 谢 = 凋谢 (withered) to mean vanquish in line 60.
"Gags in their mouths" are soldiers who'd put pieces of bamboo in their mouths when the army taking covert actions.
The Baike has another bit after the ending of this poem.
