Han Yu's Crocodile Sacrifice

Good

Poem

Ten years of loyal service as an official

Bountiful years bring joy people still recall

Even the crocodile's venom was pacified

Through prayers to the River and Sea Gods

忠義存心官十載

年豐民樂惠難忘

鱷魚毒害都能息

禱告長江北海王

Interpretation

Han Yu served as governor of Chaozhou with loyalty and righteousness, bringing prosperity and happiness to the people. When man-eating crocodiles plagued the coastal waters, he performed rituals to appease them, and the threat ceased. Those who draw this sign should maintain a kind heart and perform good deeds. Positive energy will turn misfortune into blessing and dissolve all calamities. This sign indicates general stability without major obstacles—more auspicious than harmful—but beware of petty individuals.
