籤詩 The poem

木雕一虎在山林 遠望交加惹客心 及至眼前真箇看 依舊猶是一木禽
01

A carved wooden tiger sits deep in the mountain forest

02

Looking at it from afar causes anxiety and stirs the traveler's heart

03

But when you get right up close and take a true look at it

04

It is still nothing more than a bird or beast made of wood

籤意 The image

此卦木雕老虎之象。凡事虛驚無礙也。

This lot symbolizes a carved wooden tiger. It signifies false alarms, baseless fears, and illusions that look terrifying from a distance but are completely harmless up close.

解曰 The reading

木虎驚人,虛張聲勢。近看無礙,虛驚一場。

Do not let your imagination run wild. The problem you are terrified of is actually a paper tiger. Face your fears directly, and you will realize there is no real danger at all.

典故 The episode this lot is named after

遠看如同猛虎,實則只是木雕,喻事物表面看似可怕,實則毫無威脅,純屬自己嚇自己。

Just as a lifelike wooden tiger left in the woods will terrify travelers from a distance until they get close enough to see it is inanimate, this lot references situations like Pang Hong fearing Judge Bao Zheng's righteous aura, only to realize he must face the reality of the law without succumbing to paranoid panic.
