曹操話梅 / 畫餅充飢
中籤 · Neutral / Inauspicious📜 Divine Poem 籤詩
莫聽閑言說是非
Do not listen to idle gossip or speak of right and wrong
晨昏只好念阿彌
From morning to night, simply chant Amitabha (stay peaceful)
若將狂語為真實
If you take wild, empty words as the truth
畫餅如何能充飢

📖 Historical Story 典故
三國時曹操在行軍途中,為解士兵口渴,謊稱前方有梅林,以此望梅止渴的故事。
During a harsh march, Cao Cao's troops were exhausted and desperately thirsty. To keep them moving, he lied, saying there was a forest of sour plums ahead. The thought made their mouths water, temporarily relieving their thirst, but it was an illusion. It warns against relying on false hopes.
