Guan Di lot 47 of 100
Settle it quietly
Lowest (下下, 戊庚). Grades differ between editions, and many Taiwanese temples print none. Shown as Wikisource gives it. Wikisource prints no stem pair for this lot, so 戊庚 is from manekineko.com.tw.
與君萬語復千言
祗欲平和雪爾冤
訟則終凶君記取
試於清夜把心捫
I have said ten thousand words and a thousand more to you.
I only want peace, to clear your grievance.
A lawsuit ends in harm, so remember this:
try pressing your hand to your heart on a clear night.
What this lot says
This is a lot about a grievance and a lawsuit. The verse says peace is the goal and litigation ends badly, and it suggests checking your own conscience in quiet.
For a real legal matter, speak to a qualified lawyer. The verse is about attitude, not strategy, and it forecasts no case.
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
Chu and Han contend (楚漢爭鋒)
According to the account on Wikisource, Xiang Ji overthrew Qin and made himself Hegemon-King of Western Chu, while Liu Bang, king of Han, raised troops with Han Xin as commander. After five years of fighting, Chu was isolated and destroyed.

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.
