Original text

Original Chinese verse

梦中得宝醒来无

自谓南山只是锄

若问婚姻并问病

别寻条路为相扶

Allusion

In the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao killed Ma Chao's father, and Ma Chao attacked him in revenge. Cao Cao suffered defeat, discarded his brocade robe, cut his beard short, and fled on horseback. Cao Hong rescued him, allowing Cao Cao to survive.

Translated verse

This lot shows gaining treasure in a dream. In all matters, effort is wasted.

Explanation

The thing is in water, like a reflection with its own length and form. Destiny already has its portion; there is no use bargaining.

Reading the sign

What seems gained is empty. The third line advises seeking another path for the plan.

By question

General Matters

The situation is like finding treasure in a dream. It looks present but cannot be obtained, so another road should be chosen.

Love and Marriage

This relationship is like morning dew. Turn elsewhere and wait for truer feeling.

Work, Job Search, and Business

This direction will not yield work. Change direction and seek another livelihood. Business ownership may not suit you now; employment may be more fitting.

Exams, Competition, and Promotion

Fame is empty and promotion is unlikely. Do not chase it at the cost of peace.

Investment and Money

A sudden dream of wealth can vanish like a cloud. Giving and practical use of money are wiser.

Business Trade

This business has little life. A change of trade is more practical.

Property

A property purchase may not bring profit. Put the money toward another achievement.

Health

Change the treatment quickly, or treat from the heart. Improvement is still possible through another method.

Change and Transfer

There is a chance to change. Development elsewhere may improve the situation.

Pregnancy and Children

If pregnant, be cautious; there is risk of loss. Keep calm and seek protection.

Legal Matters

Avoid litigation if possible. It harms harmony and should be weighed carefully.

Finding People or Things

Finding the treasure in the dream brings empty joy. Let this search go and choose a new concern.

Travel and Going Abroad

Distant profit and status look attractive, but taking them leaves emptiness.
