Golden Ring Fortune Slip

Forty-sixth Song: "Earth-Wind Ascending, Huang Feihu Revolts and Leaves the Five Passes"

With a life of hardship, the ancestors' worries are passed down through generations.

Who knew the pathless realm harbored such a hero.

The carp has escaped the golden hook,

A leap over the dragon's gate in an instant.

  • Household fortune: Gradually rises to prosperity, accumulating small gains to achieve great auspiciousness.
  • Pregnancy: Do not move around violently, or you will surely harm the mother.
  • Children: Your children show signs of success.
  • Turnover: Don't be too hasty, it can be achieved.
  • Buying and selling: most advantageous, should be on亥卯 days.
  • Diseases: Abdominal, gallbladder, or lower abdominal diseases.
  • Looking for something: Can be found, but it will be late.
  • Legal matters: It is better to advance than retreat. Persistence will lead to success, while delay will bring no great fortune.
  • Business: Favorable.
  • Academics: Progress. Taking initiative is beneficial.
Hexagram interpretation:
"Sheng" means to advance. The Kun hexagram represents "earth"; the Xun hexagram represents "wind." In terms of the relationship between the upper and lower trigrams of this hexagram: the earth is above, and the wind sinks into the earth. Originally, the wind blows on the surface of the earth. Therefore, it is bound to rise from underground to the surface. This is the meaning of "sheng." On one hand, the Xun hexagram represents trees; the Kun hexagram still represents the earth. This means that trees underground will eventually sprout and grow out of the ground, becoming taller and larger. This is also the meaning of "sheng." On the other hand, the Xun hexagram represents undertaking, and the Kun hexagram represents "harmonious and virtuous." Taken together, it means that by undertaking matters harmoniously and virtuously, one will surely grasp the essentials and advance.

Interpretation of fortune stick person

Huang Feihu is a character in the Chinese novel *Investiture of the Gods*. Because his wife was harassed by King Zhou of Shang and forced to commit suicide, Huang Feihu led his troops in rebellion against the Yin Shang, escaped from Chaoge, and defected to King Wu of Zhou in Xiqi. In the campaign against Zhou led by Jiang Ziya, Huang Feihu and his sons Huang Tianjue, Huang Tianxiang, Huang Tianlu, and Huang Tianhua successively died in battle.

Annotation

Loyalty to the court, a lifelong burden, seeking to repay the realm through generations of righteous service, yet in chaotic times, one becomes a formidable warlord. Like a carp escaping a golden hook, it breaks free from harm's way. With a single leap, it passes the dragon gate, transforming in but a moment.

Vernacular

Huang Feihu wished to repay the imperial court wholeheartedly in this era of chaos, to uphold the reputation of his loyal ancestors. Who would have thought that due to the circumstances, he would instead become a formidable figure of his time? It's like a carp encountering a calamity, wounded by a golden hook, but ultimately escaping. Once this trial is overcome, leaping over the dragon's gate and transforming into a dragon would only be a moment's affair.

Fortune telling by lot

Huang Feihu, loyal for seven generations, fought for the country north and south for two hundred years, yet met such an end. Therefore, he rebelled and returned to Chaoge, passing through Chuyun Pass, Jiepai Pass, and Sishui Pass, only to suffer defeat at each pass on his way to Xiqi City. Finally, rescued by the Third Prince Nezha, he was escorted all the way to Xiqi. Huang Feihu broke out of the five passes. Though he suffered defeat at each pass, he overcame them and rose higher with each step. Agriculture: Good evening. Marriage: Can be successful, do not rush. Lost items: Moonlight is present. Seeking fame: Success will come late. Seeking offspring: A son will be born. Seeking lawsuits: Reconciliation is advisable. Seeking a career: The "Gua Shen" encountered the official ghost, indicating ambiguity in matters. Two "Gua Shen" above and below suggest you are two-timing. The "Shi Wei" has wealth, and the "Ying Wei" has wealth, indicating a trap when discussing money.

Divination Meaning

This hexagram's name is "Sheng," meaning to rise. When advancing upwards, one should follow their true nature and uphold integrity and righteousness to achieve development. Sheng signifies a situation like riding the wind and soaring, which will become increasingly prosperous. It is a situational hexagram, with fortune and misfortune undecided, leaning towards slightly auspicious. This will be particularly evident during times of changing luck. One can make plans now, but they are not yet ready for execution. The image of Xun wood growing upwards from the earth extends to the concept of promotion, thus this hexagram indicates gradual progress in luck that can lead to achieving one's goals. However, climbing high must start from low, and traveling far must begin nearby. One should not go too far or act too soon, nor should one be hesitant and fall behind. One must wait patiently and advance gradually. Furthermore, the earth in Kun represents gentleness and compliance, and the wind in Xun represents obedience. Therefore, this hexagram extends to the meaning of gentle compliance with human affairs, a humble attitude of not contending with others, keeping one's talents to oneself without seeking self-promotion, and not fighting for profit, but focusing on learning and morality.
