Stick #58
Duke Mu of Qin's Great Defeat
CautionPoem
Qin's army met disaster at Mount Yao,
Three generals captured, yet all set free;
Jian Shu's warnings went unheeded,
Now weapons dropped in hasty retreat.
秦師大敗在殽山
三帥皆擒盡放還
蹇叔諫言因不聽
倒戈捨甲返秦間
Interpretation
Duke Mu of Qin ignored his minister Jian Shu's advice and attacked Zheng, leading to a catastrophic defeat against Jin at Mount Yao. Though the three captured generals were later released through the intercession of Duke Mu's daughter (who was Jin's queen mother), this omen signifies extreme danger. Those who draw this sign face grave misfortune unless they actively cultivate virtue to transform calamity into blessing.
