Original text

Original Chinese verse

直到终时亦是虚

书中许我功名遂

天边接得一封书

上下传来事转虚

Allusion

Zhong Kui, styled Zhengnan, was from Zhongnan Mountain in the Tang era. He came first in the examinations, but because his face was fierce and ugly, Emperor Dezong feared him and wanted to cancel the honor. Zhong Kui struck the minister Lu Qi, seized a sword, and killed himself. Lu Zhi later advised honoring him as a great deity who drives away demons. Zhong Kui realized that the divide between ghost and human lies in the heart, then returned to the human realm to subdue evil.

Translated verse

This lot shows empty fame. Matters contain more emptiness than substance, so keeping to the old is best.

Explanation

Above and below are troubled. Seeking leisure brings no leisure. If you desire rank and fame, staying with the old brings peace.

Reading the sign

Messages from above may sound promising, but they are empty. A letter may promise rank or success, yet the result can still vanish.

The lot warns of joy that proves hollow, gain that is lost again, and fame that has no real substance.
