浮槎月夜到天河
曾見天姬織錦梭
石得支機人罕識
那知此寶出雲窩
Floating on a raft by moonlight, he reached the Heavenly River.
He had seen the heavenly maiden's weaving shuttle.
A stone that props up a loom: few people know it.
Who would guess this treasure came out of a nest in the clouds?
What this lot says
A strange journey to the sky, with a glimpse of a loom and a stone that few would recognise.
The verse is about unexpected discovery and the value of things that look ordinary. The grade is good, not highest.
A lot is a prompt for reflection. It cannot promise a result, and it is no substitute for medical, legal or financial advice.
