籤詩 The poem

勸君切莫向他求 似鶴飛來暗箭投 若去採薪蛇伏草 不如安分得無憂
01

I advise you absolutely not to seek things from others

02

Like a flying crane throwing itself into a hidden arrow

03

Or like going to gather firewood where a snake hides in the grass

04

It is better to stay content with your lot to remain free of worry

籤意 The image

此卦似鶴投暗箭之象。凡事守舊則吉也。

This lot symbolizes a crane flying into a hidden arrow. It warns of unseen dangers and advises strict maintenance of the status quo to stay safe.

解曰 The reading

暗箭傷人,蛇伏草中。妄動生災,安分保身。

Danger lurks everywhere, like snakes in the grass or hidden arrows in the sky. Do not make external requests or venture into new territory; stay where you are to survive.

楚霸王項羽兵敗垓下,逃亡時迷路,被一農夫故意指錯方向,陷入沼澤,最終烏江自刎。

Xiang Yu, the mighty Overlord of Western Chu, was pursued by Han troops. He asked an old farmer for directions, but the farmer purposefully misled him into a swamp, trapping him and leading to his final, tragic defeat. It is a severe warning against trusting strangers and moving blindly.
