Emperor Shun Tills the Fields
GoodPoem
Though Shun did plow on Lishan's plain,
His filial love eased parents' disdain.
Elephants tilled where wild beasts once trod,
Here good and evil are judged by God.
大舜雖耕在歷山
心常孝順兩囂頑
田中之象同家象
善惡分明即此間
Interpretation
The ancient Emperor Shun farmed at Mount Li despite his cruel parents' lack of virtue. Through his extraordinary filial devotion, wild elephants miraculously plowed his fields while birds weeded - proving heaven rewards goodness. This sign indicates: Good deeds bring divine aid (like Shun's helper beasts), while wickedness forfeits such blessings. For the questioner, this is ultimately a favorable omen if one chooses virtue.
