    Hexagram interpretation:<\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \"Xu\" means to wait. The lower trigram is \"Qian\": representing strength, activity, and progress; the upper trigram is \"Kan\": representing danger, thus blocking the activity and effect of Qian. Therefore, the combined meaning of this hexagram is a warning to avoid falling into danger due to excessive haste. You must be patient and self-restrained, waiting for a favorable opportunity before moving forward. Meaning, focus on \"waiting.\" On one hand, \"Kan\" represents clouds; \"Qian\" represents the sky. Together, they represent a sky full of dense clouds, not yet raining, symbolizing the image of thousands of people waiting for the descending rain. Based on the above symbolism, this hexagram is named \"Xu\" - because \"Xu\" means to wait.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Interpretation of fortune stick person<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    Liu Wenliang, whose life story is unknown, is possibly a fictional character from \"Shuang Feng Qi Yuan\" (A Double Phoenix's Fortuitous Encounter). Records state that Wang Long (Liu Wenliang) was sent on a mission to foreign lands to accompany Zhaojun only three days after his wedding. After sixteen years, he has now returned to the imperial court, filled with mixed emotions.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Annotation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    The diligent sincerity leads to religious reverence in the Brahma Palace: The Brahma Palace refers to the palace of Brahma, and it is now used as a name for Buddhist temples. With a sincere heart and true intention, one repents and reforms, cleanses oneself, and starts anew, confessing and paying homage to the deities in the Buddhist temple. Incense smoke curls into the eyes: Smoke curls refer to winding incense smoke that resembles seal script characters, hence the name \"smoke curls.\" As the spiritual beings respond, the sandalwood incense burned for the deities swirls and enters the view, with a fragrance filling the air. A righteous and innocent heart can bring about change: For past words and deeds, even those that gravely offend the heavens, if one can thoroughly change, one can achieve a righteous and innocent heart. Calamities scatter like clouds and rain in the sky: Even if calamities are as numerous as clouds and rain, with sincere repentance, the gods and spirits will surely wash away all past sins for you.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Vernacular<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    If a person makes a mistake, they should sincerely repent to the gods and immediately correct their ways. The sandalwood incense burned for the gods will meander and catch the eye, filling the air with fragrance. The gods will surely cleanse you of past impurities. As long as your heart is just and free from evil, and you strive to improve, even if calamities be as numerous as clouds and rain, Bodhisattvas will wash them all away for you.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Fortune telling by lot<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    Although the story of this lot is about Liu Wenlong parting with his wife, the protagonist is Wang Zhaojun. Liu Wenlong escorted Wang Zhaojun to marry a foreign land. How could a subordinate stand idly by when his master is in distress? This lot suggests that if you sincerely reform and maintain a righteous and innocent heart, you will surely turn misfortune into good fortune. This hexagram indicates that the key to success or failure is timing, and you must wait for the right moment to achieve it. For wealth: Be patient and don't rush; profits will be apparent. Moonlight is beneficial. Fortune: \"Fusin\" (God of Fortune) is with you, bringing a year of joy and contentment. With descendants in the \"leading position,\" there are no worries. For fame: Fame is attainable.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
