Poem (The Oracle's Verse)

冷水來澆白雪洋,不寒不熱自溫涼,要行天下無他事,惟有中藏一藝強
When cold water is poured into a field of white snow, it is neither cold nor hot, but warm and cool by itself. There is no other way to go under the sun, but only to possess one strong technique.

Interpretation (Meaning of the Oracle)

囚徒得赦,病遇良醫,求財謀望,貴人指迷。此籤平穩用事之象,凡事大吉利也。
This lot is an elephant that "uses things peacefully" and is a great blessing in disguise. Prisoners will be pardoned, the sick will see a good doctor, and the desire to seek wealth will point you in the right direction. This is a time when cold water is poured over the expanse of snow, when it is neither cold nor hot, and when it is naturally warm and cool. When you meet this time, there will be no other time for you to go to heaven. You must keep your art inside and maintain it for a long time. If you do so, you will not be deterred in your travels under heaven. In other words, "I say to you, pardon the prisoner, treat the sick well, seek wealth and hope, and let the nobleman lead the nobleman astray.

Explanation

[Summary] Be humble and ambitious. Know the wider world and keep improving yourself.
This lot has the meaning of "there is a person outside of the person". It is an admonition to those involved to be careful in what they say and what they do. The more one thinks one knows everything and is well versed in the current situation, the more one becomes complacent and complacent without knowing it, and the more arrogant and rude one's words and actions tend to be. However, "one mountain is higher than another. The world is as wide as an ox's hair and as dense as a river. Therefore, you must not be too quick to speak out of turn. The better your situation is, the more you should be aware of the fact that "there is a strong middle move in a strong situation. Do not relax excessively, but always keep yourself well rounded, and if you see a deficiency, try to compensate for it. In all matters, be humble and patient, and do not try to win a quarrel of the tongue with a fleeting fancy.
