  • Love: This hexagram is uninitiated. The falling flowers are willing, but the flowing water is uncaring. The main issue is a lack of courage and determination.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Family fortune: There is a lack of communication between superiors and subordinates, but if you treat each other with sincerity, there will surely be a time of good fortune.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Pregnancy: Pregnancy is without issue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Children: Pay attention to child-rearing, and you will have a happy future.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Disease: Etiology unknown. Acute treatment ineffective, long-term management required.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Lost item: Hard to find.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Lawsuit: Caused by an outsider, impossible to untangle, long-lasting and unsuccessful.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Business: Unsuccessful as desired, wait for the right time. Not suitable for new business owners. Wait a while longer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Academics: Not ideal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Hexagram interpretation:<\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \"Meng\" signifies a lack of wisdom. The upper trigram is Gen, representing a mountain. The lower trigram is Kan, representing water. Interpreting the entire hexagram, it signifies that after water evaporates, it turns into fog, obscuring the mountain and making its true form unclear, thus embodying the image of \"Meng.\" The \"Meng\" here refers to ignorance, not stubbornness. It's like a child who initially doesn't know north or south but becomes wise and knowledgeable after being taught and enlightened. Preceding this hexagram is \"Zun.\" Zun signifies the beginning of all things, representing chaos, disorder, and a lack of order. Therefore, this \"Mountain over Water\" hexagram elucidates the ways of teaching, establishing order, and ensuring peace. Based on this symbolic meaning, the hexagram is named \"Meng.\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Interpretation of fortune stick person<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    Prince Ci Yun was Emperor Huizong of Song, Zhao Ji, the eleventh son of Emperor Shenzong of Song. He was the eighth emperor of the Song Dynasty in China and also possessed considerable artistic achievements. His elder brother, Emperor Zhezong of Song, had no son and passed the throne to him upon his death. He reigned for 25 years. He created a style of calligraphy which was later called \"Slender Gold Script.\" Additionally, his monogram in painting and calligraphy was a character resembling a stretched-out \"Tian\" (\u5929), said to symbolize \"One person under Heaven.\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Annotation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    A thousand miles of mountains and passes, a long journey: Prince Ciyun, from birth, bore the burden of royal disputes and had to flee to a foreign land. The future is bleak and worrying: How to spend the days ahead is truly a cause for concern. Cultivate diligently within, and bring forth blessings: Prepare diligently at home and pray for divine help. When will the pursuit of wealth and prosperity in life cease?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Vernacular<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    From the moment Prince Ciyun was born, he carried the burden of royal disputes and was forced to leave his homeland. How he will spend his days ahead is truly worrying. He can only pray for his own good fortune and for divine help. When will the struggle for glory, wealth, power, and profit in life ever cease!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Fortune telling by lot<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    Generations of royal families have vied for power and profit, and Prince Ciyun is no exception. To survive, he must flee to a distant land and make long-term plans. Therefore, drawing this lot signifies that he must rely on his own efforts for blessings, pray for divine protection, and simultaneously be prepared for a protracted struggle. If this lot is drawn for one's fortune, it can be said to be \"when adversity turns into prosperity.\" The dark clouds of the past have dispersed, and things are now gradually moving towards a favorable situation.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Divination Meaning<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    \"Meng\" signifies ignorance and immaturity, enlightenment, and haziness. Its main theme is how to eliminate ignorance and lack of knowledge through education and learning. The lower trigram is Kan (water), and the upper trigram is Gen (mountain). It is like pure spring water emerging from beneath a mountain, pure like a child, but still requiring education and guidance. The Gen mountain obstructs on the outside, and the Kan water is on the inside, representing a state of confusion and ignorance when dealing with matters, similar to a child who doesn't know how to respond.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"featured_media":6761,"menu_order":4,"template":"","class_list":["post-6758","fortune-sticks","type-fortune-sticks","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/goldenballboy.wp-mak.ing\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fortune-sticks\/6758","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/goldenballboy.wp-mak.ing\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fortune-sticks"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/goldenballboy.wp-mak.ing\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/fortune-sticks"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goldenballboy.wp-mak.ing\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6761"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/goldenballboy.wp-mak.ing\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6758"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
