Fishing on the Wei River渭水釣魚
Patiently keep to your old way of life;
hold your heart steady and harbour no ill.
Wait until someone lends a little strength,
and the dry branch of an old tree will bloom again.
English rendering: our editorial version.
Patience and integrity will be rewarded. Something that seemed finished can flourish again.

另本 Variant：勸君耐守舊生涯，把定身心莫聽邪，直待有人輕著力，滿園枯木再開花。
Fishing on the Wei River
The aged Jiang Ziya fished by the Wei River for years with a straight, unbaited hook, waiting for a ruler worth serving. At eighty, King Wen found him, and the Zhou dynasty began. The withered garden flowered again.
If single, an introduction helps. If together, patience is better than pressure.
Stay where you are for now. Listen to an older colleague's hint.
This lot invites care with money: wait. New ventures are not favoured; hold what you have. Treat money moves as personal judgement, not a prediction.
Follow treatment steadily rather than seeking a fast result. For anything lasting, see a qualified practitioner — this is reflection, not a diagnosis.
Peaceful. Keep things as they are; no big upheavals are needed.
Those away are delayed. Waiting serves you better than going after them.
It may not come back. Avoid pouring much into the search.
Favourable; the other side may withdraw or settle. A qualified adviser beats any oracle for binding matters.
