Liu Bei Seeks a Sage劉備求賢
The road home is far, but there is no doubt;
who knows the jade hidden inside the stone?
One day a skilled craftsman cuts it open,
and you see the season of green jade has come.
English rendering: our editorial version.
Hidden value will be revealed with effort and skill. Keep going; recognition comes.
詩意:此卦剖石見玉之象。凡事著力成功也。
解曰:寶在石中。異人少知。直待分明。盡可施為。
另本 Variant:渺渺前途事可疑,石中藏玉有誰知,一朝良臣分明剖,始覺其中碧玉奇。
Liu Bei Seeks a Sage
Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage three times before he was received. When they met, Zhuge laid out the plan that would divide the empire into three. A great talent had been hidden in a hut.
Get to know each other properly; the match is better than it seems.
Your talent has not been noticed. Show your work to someone who can see it.
This lot invites care with money: earned through effort; look again at old resources. Treat money moves as personal judgement, not a prediction.
This lot invites gentle attention to wellbeing: get a thorough check-up for hidden issues. This is reflection, not a diagnosis.
Keep things as they are; avoid big renovations.
No news yet. A message will come once things settle.
Look to the west, somewhere hidden or tucked away.
This lot invites patience with disputes: alarming at first, favourable once the truth is clear. For binding disputes, a qualified adviser is wiser than any oracle.
