ORACLE VERSE
Translated verse
The traveler resents the day and cannot swallow the anger.
If sudden trouble appears, do not go forward.
When the bird's forest nest is broken, it has nowhere to stay.
Seek a deeper, steadier place to shelter yourself.

Su Qin of Luoyang studied under Guiguzi. His first attempts to persuade the king of Qin failed, and he returned home poor and humiliated. He then studied fiercely, pricking his thigh with an awl when tired. Later he promoted the alliance of six states against Qin and came to wear the seals of six chancellorships.
