The birds' speech was understood by Gongye Chang,

Historical allusion artwork for Wong Tai Sin Sign 77, Gongye Chang Imprisoned

Gongye Chang was an extraordinary person who could understand bird language. One day, just when his family was poor and had no rice to cook, he received a notification from a bird: 'On South Mountain, there is a tiger dragging a sheep.' The bird said to him: 'You eat the meat, I eat the entrails.' Gongye Chang then went to South Mountain. Indeed, he saw a sheep. He scared away the tiger, left the entrails for the bird to eat, and brought the mutton back home. The person who lost the sheep suspected Gongye Chang of stealing it. He reported it to the authorities, saying Gongye Chang had stolen the sheep. Gongye Chang was imprisoned. In the end, it was not his own crime. Later, he was rescued again by this bird. Gongye Chang was released from prison. Although ultimately innocent, he still suffered immediate loss. The meaning of the lot is: do not easily trust others' words, as it can invite disaster upon oneself. Better to keep to proper conduct than to provoke disputes.

Those who draw this lot must be cautious in all matters. They should not easily listen to others' words and should not meddle in others' affairs. They themselves should focus on cultivating goodness. There may be unexpected worries, and they may suffer unjust blame. They should not argue about right and wrong with others. Although in the end there will certainly be a rescuing star, they may still suffer immediate loss. This is difficulty first, then ease; there is alarm but no grave danger; misfortune can turn to blessing. One must guard against petty people.
