Fortune No.13
Poem (The Oracle's Verse)
自小生身富貴家,眼前萬事總奢華,要君賜受金魚袋,四海傳名足可夸
Born into a wealthy family from childhood, everything he saw was glamorous. Even though he received the gift of a seal, he did not boast of his merits, and his attitude of humility was enough to make his name known throughout the four seas.

Interpretation (Meaning of the Oracle)
囚徒得赦,病遇良醫,龍門得過,名顯皇都之象。凡事變化則吉。
This lot shows that the elephant is blessed by birth and is prone to fulfilling wishes smoothly, but that true success can only be achieved with the help of a nobleman. If you accept change and remain humble, your fame will be widely known.

Explanation
[Summary] Do good deeds without seeking reward. Doing good has its own value, and it will lead to true happiness.
This lot means "謙讓未遑" (讓未遑). When you give to others, you should not ask for anything in return. True good deeds should be done without thought, and you should not keep joy in your heart after you have helped them. On the contrary, when we receive help, we should not forget even the smallest favor and repay it when the opportunity arises. This teaches us that giving is valuable in itself, and that it is the giver who is truly blessed.
Practical Advice for Modern Life
Lord Xinling refusing a reward teaches the strength to choose duty over honor. Even where recognition is invisible, help those who should be helped. Yet do not indulge in self-sacrifice; keeping boundaries lets goodwill continue.
Recommended Deity & Prayer Advice
Pray to Guanyin Bodhisattva for compassion without expectation and healthy distance. Prepare a heart that supports others quietly without boasting.
Put your wish into words
In Taiwanese temples, worshippers traditionally introduce themselves and express their wishes clearly when praying. Use your fortune slip as a moment to put your own wish into words.
