ALLUSION
Allusion

Once, Confucius and his disciple Zilu were traveling and passed by a bridge. They saw a female pheasant on the mountain, very alert and eye-catching, flying up and down among the leaves, happily chirping, truly enjoying its time. As Confucius was revered as the 'Supreme Sage,' this female pheasant seemed to be dancing and singing before him, its movements unusually resembling a performance for this 'Supreme Sage.' When the pheasant sensed some unusual movement around it, it saw someone intending to harm it because of its appearance. It immediately flew high and far away. After carefully surveying its surroundings to ensure safety, it flew back. As it flew away, it called three times before disappearing into the mountain wilderness. The meaning of the fortune stick is that while there may be good prospects before you, hidden dangers may lurk; one must know how to avoid them. This implies a sense of danger. Even a bird is so aware of opportunities.
Those who obtain this fortune stick should reflect on people through objects and understand the times. They must be aware of the underlying mechanisms. When encountering unfavorable situations or a change in the atmosphere, one should immediately change course and retreat. Only after thoroughly investigating and ensuring a stable, risk-free position can one proceed. Fear of others harming you and entrapping you without your knowledge requires vigilance against petty people and disputes. For this fortune stick, avoiding all gossip and slander is auspicious.
This fortune stick is also known as: Zilu Admires the Pheasant.
