Fortune No.69

Poem (The Oracle's Verse)

冬來嶺上一枝梅,葉落枯枝總不摧,探得陽春訊息近,依然還我作花魁
When winter comes, there is a plum tree on the peak, and even though its leaves fall and it becomes a withered branch, it will never be broken. If I can see that the spring is near, I will return home as a flower girl.

程嬰匿孤存趙

Interpretation (Meaning of the Oracle)

一箭落空,非空不空,看非景致,訊息在中。此籤梅花占魁之象,凡事宜早吉利。
This lot is an elephant that "the plum blossom divines the first omen," and it is good to get a good omen quickly. It is a plum tree with a single branch on a peak at the time of the winter solstice. Even though the leaves have fallen and the roots seem to wither, it is still fighting against the frost and snow, and the sangso shadow slants sideways and releases a fragrance. The sound of footsteps of spring is coming soon. Your many years of hardship will surely be rewarded, and the time will come when the clouds will clear and you will be able to rise. I say to you, your luck will be as follows: "An arrow will fall from the sky, but the sky will not be empty. Your luck will be as if an arrow falls in the sky. In other words, an arrow may seem to fall in the sky, but it is not in the sky, and although you may see different scenery, there are signs within.

Explanation

[Summary] Do not be pessimistic and believe in innocence. If you live honestly, misunderstandings will be cleared up and your honor will be restored.
This lot means "the false accusation will snowball". It is an indication to those involved not to be overly pessimistic. When time is not on one's side, one's mind is often negative, and if one is misunderstood by others, it is just as painful and unspeakable as "appalling banquet eats the yellow lotus. Look at the story of Cheng Sharp's hiding orphans and surviving Zhao. For more than ten years, Cheng Sharp was a man of perseverance and disgrace, and even bore the infamy of wrongdoing without saying a word. How many people in the world today possess that kind of spiritual sentiment? Compared to this, my misfortune was only temporary. Why should I feel ashamed of myself? If you keep your mind right and do things without feeling ashamed of heaven and earth, there will surely come a day when time will come and you will be restored to your innocence.

Practical Advice for Modern Life

Cheng Ying hiding the orphan speaks of protecting what must be protected amid misunderstanding and loneliness. Even without quick recognition, quietly keep evidence, promises, and beliefs. Records that let you explain later protect honor.

Recommended Deity & Prayer Advice

Pray to Guanyin Bodhisattva for patience to keep righteousness amid misunderstanding. For now, hold the person or promise you must protect rather than making loud appeals.
