The Battle of Red Cliffs赤壁鏖兵
Carrying firewood to fight a fire, everything burns;
even after spreading three thousand miles, it continues.
If you ask about honour, or coming and going,
better to stop and not exhaust your heart.
English rendering: our editorial version.
The chosen method makes things worse. Stop and rethink before continuing.
詩意：此卦抱薪救火之象。凡事亦自謹防也。
解曰：有千般計。一旦相惹。不如莫動。恐惹禍身。
另本 Variant：抱薪救火火增烟，燒卻三千及大千，若問營謀併出入，不如收拾莫憂燃。
The Battle of Red Cliffs
At the Red Cliffs, Cao Cao chained his ships together to steady them. When Huang Gai sailed in with fire ships on an east wind, the chained fleet could not separate and burned. A method meant to help made the disaster worse.
Too much heat. Small sparks become big fights; cool down.
The old method has stopped working. Pause and review before continuing.
Effort may outpace reward; Avoid starting new ventures. Treat money moves as personal judgement, not a prediction.
This lot invites gentle attention to wellbeing: watch fever, inflammation and burns. Get seen early. For anything lasting, see a qualified practitioner — this is reflection, not a diagnosis.
Check fire and electrical safety at home.
Delayed. Postpone non-essential trips.
Perhaps westward; the odds are modest.
This lot invites patience with disputes: the more you say, the worse it gets. Settle. A qualified adviser beats any oracle for binding matters.
