Original Chinese poem
田园价贯好商量，
事到公庭彼此伤；
纵使机关图得胜，
定为后世子孙殃。
Allusion
Allusion title: 虞芮争闲田.
Guan Di lots often use old stories as mirrors for judgment.
The traditional Chinese note follows.
虞芮争闲田 虞芮两国相邻，为田地发生争端，久不能息。两诸侯国主都认为西伯（即周文王）德高望重，就说“咱们找西伯去评个理吧”。西伯的周国，当时只是商的一个诸候国，虞芮也是诸候国。
他们西去周国，一入周境即见行者相让于路，耕者相让于界；到了周邑又见男女分道而行，长者行于路，年轻人争着为长者提携东西；到了朝堂又见士人礼让大夫，大夫礼让卿相，无不彬彬有礼。
虞芮国主见此深为感动，彼此说：“比起周人来，咱们都是小人，怎能争讼于这君子之庭呢！”彼此相让所争田地，结伴而归。这就是历史上有名的“虞芮争田”的故事。
石崇被难 晋·石崇，字季伦，为城阴太守，伐吴有功，封安阳乡侯。财业丰积，室宇宏丽，庖膳穷水陆之珍，与王恺以奢靡相尚。后为交趾采访使。有美女名绿珠，以珍珠十斛买之，藏于金谷，被赵王伦窥见，乃以计害崇，冀得绿珠。及崇被难，绿珠坠楼而死。

Recorded cases
一人卜米价，是年米不贵。
又桐城(泉州城，亦称刺桐城)内一士人，有螟蛉子，弗受驾驭。一日偶督责之，竟自逃去，莫知所之。其父百计图谋，终无影响。迨占此之后，乃于胜果铺(参见《泉州铺境》)寻得，带回家里。旋染怪病，破费许多，未及冠而殀亡。三四两句之验如此。
