Stick #43
Han Yu's Loyal Admonition
CautionPoem
His honest counsel angered the emperor's might,
Day and night he rides, no rest in sight.
Master and servant weary from the endless flight,
Snow piles high at Blue Pass, blocking their way outright.
只因直諫怒天顏
晝夜難離在馬鞍
主僕奔忙神亦倦
更加雪重擁藍關
Interpretation
Han Yu's straightforward advice angered the emperor, leading to his exile. Day and night, he rides without rest, exhausting both master and servant. Heavy snow further obstructs their path at Blue Pass, making progress impossible. This sign depicts hardship. Those who draw this should act cautiously, perform good deeds to potentially turn misfortune around. Overall, it suggests more bad than good—beware of petty people and gossip.
