Bo Ya Visits His Friend伯牙訪友
A noble person should not act like the petty;
a small slip stirs up trouble.
The music of the qin needs a listener who understands;
keep steady and calm, and you will find your way.
English rendering: our editorial version.
Hold to your character and seek those who truly understand you.

另本 Variant:小人君子別賢愚,事有差訛合是非,琴遇知音當鼓操,爭如定靜得便宜。
Bo Ya Visits His Friend
The musician Bo Ya played by the river, and the woodcutter Zhong Ziqi heard high mountains and flowing water in his music. They became soulmates. When Bo Ya returned the next year, Ziqi had died. Bo Ya broke his zither and never played again.
Take time; you may not be fully understood yet.
Office rivalry; stay out of it and do the work.
This lot invites care with money: wait. This is not a time to invest; keep your money safe. Treat money moves as personal judgement, not a prediction.
Results may be unclear or an old issue may return. Stay calm. For anything lasting, see a qualified practitioner — this is reflection, not a diagnosis.
Watch words and conduct away from home.
On the move. Mind your words and conduct while away.
Look quickly, near places you visit.
Lack of evidence or a slippery opponent may cost you. Settle. A qualified adviser beats any oracle for binding matters.
