GUANYIN ORACLE LOT 77
Returning the Jade Intact to Zhao
Do not be lost in empty reputation or appearances. Ordinary eyes can mistake illusion for a great mountain.
ORACLE VERSE
Translated verse
In a dream it is said that great wealth is gained.
Reputation beyond the clouds still comes empty.
Distant waters and far mountains are hard to trust as real.
With a noble person's guidance, the face opens in a smile.
Original Chinese verse
梦中说得是多财，声名云外总虚来； 水远山遥难信实，贵人指点笑颜开。
ALLUSION
Story allusion
Qin was strong and Zhao was weak. The Qin king offered fifteen cities for the famous He jade disc, but intended to seize it without exchange. Lin Xiangru carried the jade to Qin, saw the deception, threatened to smash it, and finally returned it intact to Zhao. The story praises seeing through appearance and protecting what is real.
Poem meaning
This lot shows finding treasure in a dream. In all matters, there is much emptiness and little reality.
Original reading
Speaking of dreams within dreams, do not hope for reputation. Wait for a good time and noble guidance.
READING
Overall reading
What you see and seek now is illusory. Reputation is also empty.
It is hard to believe this is real. Noble help can point out the truth.
BY QUESTION
Question-based reading
General Matters
The thing being pursued is empty, like fame, title, or honor. Do not let vanity become the basis of action.
Love and Marriage
Do not choose a lifelong partner for status, wealth, appearance, or vanity. Choose character, compatibility, and practical goodness. If a breakup happened because of poor judgment, change the standard before seeking again.
Work, Job Search, and Business
Choose work you can do well or that truly supports you, not just a famous name. Business should be practical rather than built on face.
Exams, Competition, and Promotion
Ask why you want the title. If it is only for empty name or vanity, it is not worth the effort.
Investment and Money
Do not assume money is easy because others profit. This desire is like dreaming of wealth.
Business Trade
Operate practically, not for appearance.
Property
Buy only if there is a real need. Do not follow blindly.
Health
Seeing through vanity itself can heal. Rejoice in others' success with a calm heart rather than comparing.
Change and Transfer
Change for a real problem is valid. Change for face is unnecessary.
Pregnancy and Children
Do not force childbirth for pride or social pressure when the body is not ready.
Legal Matters
Litigating only to save face is not worth the cost.
Finding People or Things
If the lost item is not truly necessary, let it go.
Travel and Going Abroad
Going abroad for face or dignity alone is not worth the expense and effort.
