Stick #32
Su Wu Tending Sheep
FairPoem
Nineteen bitter years by the northern sea,
His envoy's staff worn by desert winds.
Who pities one who chews wool and swallows snow?
Only his flock of sheep as companions true.
十九年前海上辛
節旄彫敗逐沙塵
餐毛嚼雪誰憐我
惟有羊兒作伴群
Interpretation
This sign tells of Su Wu, who endured 19 years of exile among barbarians, tending sheep by the frozen sea. He survived by wrapping himself in felt and eating snow, with only sheep for company. The lesson is this: maintain loyalty and integrity through hardship. Though your situation seems bleak now, perseverance will bring divine aid to turn misfortune into blessing - just as Su Wu's faithfulness eventually brought him home to honor. This sign indicates extreme difficulties ahead, but righteousness will prevail.
