籤意 The image

此卦逢場作戲之象。凡事守舊則吉也。

This lot symbolizes keeping up appearances. It indicates that while things look pleasant and easy on the outside, there is hidden effort, sorrow, or a lack of real substance underneath.

解曰 The reading

佳景雖好,暗藏隱憂。逢場作戲,不可當真。

Do not be fooled by superficial harmony or temporary joy. Keep your guard up, stay grounded, and do not get swept away by illusions or empty socializing.

典故 The episode this lot is named after

戰國蘇秦發憤苦讀,錐刺股以防瞌睡,終佩六國相印,喻成功背後有隱忍的辛酸。

Su Qin, a famous political strategist of the Warring States period, failed his initial pursuits and was mocked by his family. To force himself to study through the night, he pierced his own thigh with an awl to stay awake. It signifies grueling, hidden effort behind eventual success, rather than relying on superficial joy.
