ALLUSION
Allusion
Fine jade stored in a cabinet must wait for someone to inquire about it. Only if a high price is offered should it be sold. One must not lower one's own value by desperately seeking a buyer and selling it cheaply.
Those who draw this lot should not be impatient in all matters. They must wait for the right opportunity before taking action. If one degrades oneself, seeking compromise through improper means, it is ultimately not as good as maintaining one's integrity. All matters will be stable, without significant obstacles, and gradually become brighter.
This lot can also be interpreted as: Confucius Upholding the Way, or refers to Confucius's hardship in Chen and Cai. Confucius was a sage. In terms of learning, morality, and thought, he is a teacher for all ages. However, his official career and luck were not good; he devoted his entire life to teaching students and scholarly work. A person's talent and learning, like a piece of fine jade, should be cherished and stored in a cabinet, not necessarily waiting for a good price to sell. Rather, one should wait for the right opportunity. If one encounters a discerning person who truly appreciates one's worth, that is another matter. Why should those with unrecognized talent constantly pity themselves?
