Pang Hong Fears Judge Bao龐洪畏包公
In the wood a tiger stands at the gate;
it has power but does not harm.
Clearly it is said there is nothing to fear,
yet worry and hesitation still startle the heart.
English rendering: our editorial version.
Alarm is greater than the real danger. Calm your fears and look at the facts.
詩意：此卦林木虎有威之象。凡事虛驚少實也。
解曰：爐頭點雪。似耳邊風。可宜作福。後吉前凶。
另本 Variant：木雕一虎在山林，遠望威容意不禁，縱說不妨終可畏，此身如入大江心。
Pang Hong Fears Judge Bao
Grand Tutor Pang Hong, father-in-law of the emperor, framed the general Di Qing. Judge Bao insisted on reopening the case, and Pang Hong grew terrified as the truth came out. The tiger he feared was carved of wood: Bao's stern face did more than any weapon.
Friction from misunderstanding or a domineering manner; talk, avoid fighting.
A stern boss is less hostile than they seem; avoid provoking.
This lot invites care with money: watch for someone stirring trouble; avoid trading on rumours. Treat money moves as personal judgement, not a prediction.
This lot invites gentle attention to wellbeing: often more stress than illness. Relaxing helps more than worrying. For anything lasting, see a qualified practitioner — this is reflection, not a diagnosis.
Quarrels or an elder's minor ill health need gentle attention.
Held up. Try not to let worry about the journey grow out of proportion.
Hard to find, but news will come.
This lot invites patience with disputes: the other side is loud but not necessarily strong; weigh the cost of fighting on. For binding disputes, a qualified adviser is wiser than any oracle.
