Wealth Hall · Lot 7Poor
贪多易把本钱包深水行船浪最高此际劝君收缆住留得青山有柴烧
What it means: Do not reach, and do not borrow. Guard the capital.
The verse is kept in Chinese. It is a four-line regulated poem — rhyme and metre are part of the thing itself, and they do not survive translation. The reading below is written in English.
The reading
Greed loses what patience keeps, and borrowing to double down is the worst move available. Pulling back is not defeat, it is protecting the base. Shrink the operation, keep some room to move, and plan again next year.
Wealth lots rarely promise a windfall. They talk about keeping, and about work.
How to read this grade
Poor describes the present, not your fate. Its use is to tell you to pull back a little, stop adding to the position, and move again when the conditions have changed.
All eighty lots are lines written for Hanlu Temple. They are here to help you put a question into words — no promise, and no medical, financial or legal advice.
Draw this lot in the hall
Walk to the Wealth Hall, sit down on a cushion and put your palms together. The tube of lots stands by the altar. A lot you drew in the same hall on the same day is remembered, so you can come back and read it again.
