Chisongzi's Call to Seclusion

Average

How long can one find leisure in this mortal world?

Worldly affairs are like layers upon layers of mountains.

Even in wealth, one still worries about lacking a noble heir,

unaware that flowers bloom and then wither.

不知花放又花残

Chisongzi's Call to Seclusion allusion illustration

In the mortal world, people rarely have moments of leisure. Taking a cold look, worldly affairs are numerous, piled up like mountains. Even after attaining wealth and money, one still worries about lacking noble sons, gaining one thing and wanting another. One must know that in this fleeting world, flowers bloom and then wither. The fortune stick mentions the immortal Chisongzi advising people to retreat from the world. The meaning of the stick is to call for being content with one's lot, seeing through worldly affairs, and knowing contentment brings constant happiness, rather than endlessly chasing fame and fortune.

The meaning of this fortune stick is that the ways of the world cycle; there is no lasting wealth and honor. All achievements, fame, money, and wives: first, one must know contentment; second, one must see through things. Be content with one's lot and not burdened by worldly affairs, so that this body may have days of leisure. The world is vast, like flowers blooming and withering, awakening the dreamer.

This fortune stick is also known as: Fan Dan Inquires about Divination.
