  The slip from the book

诗曰 [ 詩曰 ] The poem into Chinese

眼前欢喜未为欢　亦不危时亦不安
割肉补疮为甚事　不如守旧待时光

The global interpretation for this lot

Bad

1. Translation from the ancient Chinese text

Be not content with the present joy. Thins as they stand are neither bad nor good. To cut the flesh to patch your wound, what foolishness. Your wisest course is to make no change. A man of prudence knows when and where to stop. He will take measures both to retreat and to proceed. Cutting a piece of flesh to patch the wound. Relieves no pain but brings himself to ruin.

2. The Meaning

In this scene, a foolish man cuts his own flesh to patch his wound. As a result, he only inflicts more pain upon himself. Your family is not safe. Beware of your tongue because any verbal indiscretion may involve you in endless trouble. Money making is not promising and your business will be ruined by rascals and villains. Marriage will not last long. The pregnant will have pain and danger when giving birth. Travelers will be delayed and attempts to find the missing will bring trouble. You will lose money at farming and rearing silkworms and livestock. In lawsuits you will lose. Moving will gain you nothing so stay in your original place. To look for things lost, you will encounter difficulties. Sickness cannot be completely cured.
