Guan Di lot 80 of 100
A sudden summons
Middling (中平, 辛癸). Grades differ between editions, and many Taiwanese temples print none. Shown as Wikisource gives it. Wikisource prints no stem pair for this lot, so 辛癸 is from manekineko.com.tw.
一朝無事忽遭官
也是門衰墳未安
改換陰陽移禍福
勸君莫作等閒看
With nothing wrong, you are suddenly caught up with the officials.
It is also a sign the family's fortunes have thinned and the graves are unsettled.
Change the yin and yang, move the bad luck and the good.
I urge you not to treat this as a light matter.
What this lot says
This is a lot about a sudden legal or official difficulty. The verse says it came out of nowhere and tells you to take it seriously.
The verse links it to the family graves, which is a traditional view and not one we can support. For a real legal matter, speak to a qualified lawyer.
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
Tao Kan finds the place where the ox lies (陶侃卜牛眠)
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.
