Mirages and sea markets are boundless illusions,
rising ten thousand feet to touch the sky.
Sometimes scattered by a sudden gust of wind,
they still gather and form into green smoke.

ALLUSION
Allusion

The clam in the sea exhales air like a tower, reaching high into the sky. When a wind comes, it is blown away. Though it may scatter and gather again, it is like floating smoke and cannot last long. This is a scene of complete emptiness and illusion. Though the present may seem good, there is no real substance or conclusion.
Those who draw this lot often encounter the illusion of a mirage, thinking they will gain something, but in reality, they gain nothing. Therefore, it is best to abide by one's proper duty and not be lured by false appearances. One should take good deeds as their foundation. Then they can be stable and lasting, and nothing will be blown away by others. This lot is more ominous than auspicious; one must guard against the slander of petty people. It is auspicious to perform virtuous deeds on the same day.
The great Tang dynasty poet Li Bai, who called himself a banished immortal and was known as the 'Poetry Immortal', found no joy without wine. Frustrated in his official career, he often turned to poetry and wine as companions. Once, in a drunken stupor, he went to a lakeside and saw the reflection of the moon half-floating, half-sinking in the water. In a state of ecstasy, he reached out to embrace the moon in the water and drowned.
