Guan Di lot 32 of 100
Too much scheming
Lowest (下下, 丁乙). Grades differ between editions, and many Taiwanese temples print none. Shown as Wikisource gives it. Wikisource prints no stem pair for this lot, so 丁乙 is from manekineko.com.tw.
勞心汨汨竟何歸
疾病兼多是與非
事到頭來渾似夢
何如休要用心機
You wear yourself out in a rush of worry. Where does it end?
There is illness, and also a lot of gossip and dispute.
In the end, it will all seem like a dream.
Better to stop using your cunning.
What this lot says
This is a lot about overthinking. The verse says that strain, illness and quarrels are all wearing you down, and that in hindsight they will feel unreal.
Its advice is to stop calculating. If your health is part of the picture, see a qualified professional, and treat the verse as permission to rest.
A lot is a prompt for reflection. It cannot promise a result, and it is no substitute for medical, legal or financial advice.
The story behind it
The Duke of Zhou interprets dreams (周公解夢)
Named for this lot in the Wikisource transcription.
Where this text comes from
This verse is a traditional temple text with no known author. We read it from two named web transcriptions, Chinese Wikisource (the base text) and manekineko.com.tw. Neither is a scan of a printing, the edition behind them is mixed, and we could not establish whether the two are independent of each other.
