ALLUSION
Allusion
Going into the mountains to plant jade: if the fields are narrow, the harvest will be small. Digging the earth to seek gold: if there are many people, the share will be thin. In reality, people need not toil and rush about like this. Because the words 'wealth and honor' have causes and effects from past lives. Heaven has already arranged and destined the distribution.
For one who draws this lot, in all matters, one should do what one can, cultivate good karma, and plant the foundation of blessings. Naturally, one can obtain good fortune. There is no need to force things. As the saying goes, 'Do not deliberately seek, and there will be a wondrous encounter.' This lot is stable and without obstacles; no need for worry or doubt.
Guan and Bao Dividing Gold. In the Spring and Autumn period, before Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya took office, they were merchants together. When dividing the gold, Guan Zhong took more for himself, and Bao Shuya, knowing he was poor, did not consider him greedy. Later, Bao Shuya became a high official under Duke Huan of Qi and recommended Guan Zhong to be the Qi chancellor. Assisting Duke Huan, he honored the Zhou court, repelled the barbarians, became hegemon among the lords, and unified the world. Guan Zhong once said, 'My parents gave me life, but Bao Shuya knows me.'
