The Story Behind the Lot
Han Xiangzi meets Lu Dongbin
According to legend, Han Xiangzi was the grandnephew of Han Yu, the great Tang dynasty writer. He was once an ordinary person, but after receiving guidance from Lü Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals, he saw through the vanity of worldly wealth and status. He abandoned his pursuit of official rank and the hardships of worldly life, devoted himself to Taoist cultivation, and eventually attained immortality, joining the Eight Immortals and living freely, unbound by convention. This story in the oracle signifies release from worldly constraints and turning adversity into peace. If illness, a lawsuit, or everyday troubles are weighing on you, an opportunity for relief is at hand. Let go of fixed attachments and go with the flow, and the troubles and misfortunes that cling to you will gradually fade. Signs of a benefactor's guidance and a turn in fortune are already appearing. Keep a calm heart, uphold what is right, and let events unfold naturally; you will break free of constraints and find lasting peace and ease.

Liu Bei Enters Jianmeng Pass
At the invitation of Liu Zhang, governor of Yi Province, Liu Bei entered the region to assist him and stationed his troops at Jianmeng Pass. There he settled the people and showed generosity to win their support. The pass was a strategic stronghold on the route into Shu and a key position for advancing into the region. Liu Bei used the time there to build his strength and forge ties with worthy men. When the moment was right, he led his troops south, eventually taking Chengdu and securing Yi Province, laying the foundations for the state of Shu Han. This story in the oracle signifies escaping danger, holding your ground, and gradually entering a better phase. The crisis has passed; now is the time to establish yourself and strengthen your foundations. Build steadily and win people's support. There is no need to rush ahead: if you proceed carefully and secure an advantageous position, your efforts to earn wealth and achieve your aims will go smoothly, and your foundations will bring future blessings.
