Fortune No.6

Poem (The Oracle's Verse)

投身岩下飼於菟,須是還他大丈夫,舍己也應難再得,通行天下此人無
Even though he gave himself to the tiger at the bottom of a steep cliff, his moderation as an all righteous man remains unchanged. A person who can abandon himself and protect righteousness in such a manner is rare, and there are probably no two such people in all of heaven.

藺相如完璧歸趙

Interpretation (Meaning of the Oracle)

為使非常,身清豈貧,待他時至,詳與君知。此籤岩下飼菟之象,凡事宜順則吉。
This lot is likened to an elephant offering itself to a tiger under a rock, indicating that things will turn out well if one follows the flow of events in order and not against it. If we keep our sense of propriety, do not act rashly, and do not pursue greed or shortcuts beyond our means, we will eventually find peace when the time is right.

Explanation

[Summary] Remain calm in unreasonable situations. You must have the courage and wisdom to assess the situation and act decisively.
This lot has the meaning of a "chance to see an event. When people are under unreasonable pressure or provocation, they tend to get angry and make things worse, but courage and recklessness will not get things done. Rush Sang-nyu was able to bring perfection back to Zhao because he had the wisdom to immediately assess the situation and the courage to take a step back when necessary. In all matters, it is necessary not only to think deeply, but also to be based on reason, to say what needs to be said when it needs to be said, and to have the boldness to act decisively when it needs to be acted upon.

Practical Advice for Modern Life

As Lin Xiangru protected the jade intact, the key is not losing dignity under pressure from a stronger party. Gather evidence instead of shouting back, and make only your non-negotiable lines clear. Calm courage protects your value in work and love.

Recommended Deity & Prayer Advice

Pray to Guan Sheng Dijun for both righteousness and composure. Rather than asking to defeat an opponent, ask to resolve matters with integrity.
