诗曰 [ 詩曰 ] The poem into Chinese
上下传来事转虚 天边接得一封书
书中许我功名遂 直到终时亦是虚

The global interpretation for this lot.
Average

1. Translation from the ancient Chinese text
Rumor spreads among the court attendants. From heaven come special message. Offering rank and honor to your name. Alas! Totally, untrue and groundless it proves to be.

2. The Meaning
This lot describes the emptiness of name and title. Like pomp and human vanity, they are empty and worthless. So you should be more realistic and truer to your own nature. As man is concerned about his name and rank, they are nothing but sham. Why concern yourself with rank and title? Better stand by and attend to your own affairs. Safety and security are yours if you ask. But you will meet obstacles in making money. Business and marriage will not succeed. You will have a girl. Silkworms and grain will yield only half a crop but your herds will bring you better profit. There will be news from travelers and the missing will be found. Things list will never reappear. You will lose in the lawsuits. Migration or moving residence is not a good idea. The sick can be cured through the mercy of god so pray for them. No harm will come to your ancestral graves.
