Zhuangzi Tests His Wife莊子試妻
For the sake of fame, virtue is lost — what kind of thing is that?
Fear that good fortune may turn to harm.
Drunk, not knowing where you are going,
in the shadow of green pines, dreaming in a haze.
English rendering: our editorial version.
Guard your integrity. Ambition without virtue turns fortune upside down.
詩意:此卦寒魚離水之象。凡事不可移動也。(另作:此卦敗德招凶之象。凡事腳踏實地也。)。
解曰:寒魚離水。美中不足。若問營謀。不如莫起
另本 Variant:因名喪德不和同,切忌忙中變作凶,醉後不知何處去,青松影裡睡矇矓。
Zhuangzi Tests His Wife
Zhuangzi pretended to die to test his wife. A handsome young prince came to mourn, and she soon agreed to marry him. When the prince fell ill and needed a dead man's brain as medicine, she took an axe to Zhuangzi's coffin. He sat up. She hanged herself in shame.
Watch for outside influences and questions of loyalty.
Avoid job changes. If ambition has made you careless, correct it now.
This lot invites care with money: unstable money, big swings. Protect what you have.
This lot invites gentle attention to wellbeing: ups and downs; moderate drinking and rich food. For anything lasting, see a qualified practitioner — this is reflection, not a diagnosis.
Generally safe, but watch rivalries over status.
Not arriving soon. Avoid rash journeys.
Lost, and unlikely to be found.
Sudden twists in the case. Settle rather than fight. A qualified adviser beats any oracle for binding matters.
