Earth God Shrine · Lot 8Good
土地公公坐庙堂春祈秋报岁月长常把孝道放心上家门福泽自绵长
What it means: Look after your elders and the family fortune lasts.
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
Filial care comes first and the household follows it. Go back and see the old ones more, make one more phone call — the luck settles in exactly these small things.
The Earth God looks after one patch of ground. His lots always come back to harmony.
How to read this grade
Good sits one step below Excellent: the direction is right, but the work has to be carried with diligence and patience. If the verse talks about keeping, gathering or holding steady, that is the point of the lot.
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 Earth God Shrine, 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.
