The Hegemon-King Besieged霸王被困
The road is steep, the horse weak, the rider in haste;
the troops scattered and trapped together.
High rapids, rough waves, the oars broken;
at dusk the flowers fade and frost falls.
English rendering: our editorial version.
A difficult, exhausting stretch. Slow down and protect your resources.
詩意：此卦船破下灘之象。凡事險阻提防也。
解曰：守舊守舊。安靜無咎。不用求謀。自在優游。
另本 Variant：路險馬行人去遠，失群羊困虎相當，危灘船過風翻浪，春暮花殘天降霜。
The Hegemon-King Besieged
Surrounded at Gaixia, Xiang Yu broke out with eight hundred riders. Lost near Yinling, he asked a farmer the way, was sent into a swamp, and was caught. Ashamed to face his homeland, he took his own life by the Wu River.
The bond is thin and pressures pull it apart.
Isolated; plans may fail. Hold your current position.
This lot invites caution with money. Keep finances conservative.
Low energy; old issues may return. Keep warm and seek care. This is reflection, not a diagnosis.
Anxiety and gossip at home; live quietly.
Held up. Take extra care on the road.
Lost or damaged. Let it go.
This lot invites patience with disputes: the other side is strong; concede or settle. A qualified adviser beats any oracle for binding matters.
