  The slip from the book

诗曰 [ 詩曰 ] The poem into Chinese

抱薪救火大皆燃　烧遍三千亦复然
若问荣华并出入　不如收拾枉劳心

The global interpretation for this lot

Bad

1. Translation from the ancient Chinese text

As a fire is fed with added fuel so the flames spread far and wide leaving nothing unscorched. A fearful death awaits each one of us. Not rank nor riches can save us now. No matter how careful are your precautions. Someday you will inevitably get into trouble. Once you take the wrong decision, remorse will torture you forever.

2. The Meaning

This describes the scene of someone rushing to a burning house with firewood to put out the blaze. You must take precautions against the possibility of being involved in a dangerous situation. You must pray for the safety of your family as well as for yourself. Chances of making money are slight and business will be bad. Arrangements for marriage will not be concluded. Even if you get married, your wife’s pregnancy will meet with risk. A visitor will be delayed and you will not find trace of those who have disappeared. Farming and raising silkworm will both be unprofitable and livestock will be damaged. You will lose in lawsuits because your case is unjust. A change of residence is worth considering. Things lost can be found in the west. Danger threatens the sick. Ancestral graves are as usual.
