Guan Di lot 62 of 100
Tigers and wolves in human faces
Middling (中平, 庚乙). Grades differ between editions, and many Taiwanese temples print none. Shown as Wikisource gives it. Wikisource prints no stem pair for this lot, so 庚乙 is from manekineko.com.tw.
百千人面虎狼心
賴汝干戈用力深
得勝回時秋漸老
虎頭城裏喜相尋
Hundreds of faces, and the hearts of tigers and wolves.
It is on your weapons that you rely, and your effort runs deep.
When you return in victory, autumn is growing old.
In the tiger-head city, you are happily sought out.
What this lot says
This is a lot about a hard contest. The verse says you are surrounded by people you cannot trust and that you must rely on your own effort.
It pictures a good result at the end of the season. The lot suggests that you stay alert and finish what you have started.
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
Han Xin fights the Hegemon-King (韓信戰霸王)
According to the account on Wikisource, Han Xin led the allied forces against the king of Chu and surrounded him at Gaixia. The defeated Xiang Ji refused a boat offered at the Wu river, saying he could not face the elders of his home region, and took his own life.

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.
