籤意 The image

此卦寒魚脫水之象。凡事不可妄動也。

This lot symbolizes a cold fish out of water. It warns against chasing vanity, listening to rumors, or testing others' loyalty, which will inevitably lead to self-inflicted disaster and loss.

解曰 The reading

弄巧成拙,因名喪祿。莫惹虛言,安分守己。

Do not test the people around you or pursue vanity at the expense of reality. Suspicion and false pride will ruin everything you have. Trust in ordinary, sincere friendships and stay grounded.

典故 The episode this lot is named after

道家莊周假死試探妻子田氏的忠誠,結果田氏經不起考驗,最終羞愧自盡,喻不可用欺騙試探人心,徒惹災禍。

The Taoist philosopher Zhuangzi used his magic to fake his own death to test his wife's loyalty. She failed the test by falling for a disguised prince, leading to her suicide out of shame and a tragic end to their home. It is a harsh warning against testing human nature through deception.
