Fortune No.74
Poem (The Oracle's Verse)
慵飛野鶴自投籠,欲舉鵬霄落陷中,南北東西渾障礙,此身憔悴恨無窮
A lazy crane, flying in a basket, tries to soar to the sky like a peng, only to fall into the fall. From north to south, from east to west, all obstacles have been thrown in my way, and my body is exhausted, and my resentment is insatiable.

Interpretation (Meaning of the Oracle)
進身不得,退步而行,命運乖蹇,切勿交爭。此籤野鶴投籠之象,凡事守舊留心。
This lot is the elephant that "the wild crane casts into the basket," and all matters should be kept in the past and kept in mind. You cannot make your way forward; you must step back. Fortunes are lamely mismatched, and should never be crossed. To throw oneself into a cage means to lose one's freedom. Our lives are hindered in every direction, from east to west, north to south, and south to northwest. This is truly a time of unbearable circumstances. It is best to do all things by observing, refraining from, and thinking three thoughts before doing anything else. When you say "I am going to do the right thing," you are going to do the wrong thing. Do not lameness your destiny, and do not be lameness your destiny, and do not be lameness your destiny.

Explanation
[Summary] Don't flaunt your talents. Act with humility and be in harmony with your surroundings.
This lot has the meaning of "two tigers are unacceptable. It encourages the parties involved to be thoughtful and detailed. Confidence and a brilliant mind are good, but a sharp point of view and excessive self-confidence can make you a target for others and lead to a mindset that thinks it is better to leave you out of the picture. If you are moving into a new environment, don't be in a hurry to show off your abilities. If your abilities are clearly superior to those of others, especially when interests are directly at stake, you may invite jealousy and be falsely accused of wrongdoing. Instead, be modest, keep within yourself, be humble in some areas, keep your body soft and gentle, and be cautious in all matters. Furthermore, be careful in whom you cooperate with, and do not fall into a situation where water and fire are incompatible, and you will find yourself in a difficult position.
Practical Advice for Modern Life
