Tao Kan's Mother - A Legacy for Eternity

Good

Poem

She cut her hair to welcome guests in need,

What greater virtue could a poor wife heed?

Through all of time, none could compare,

To Tao Kan's mother, beyond compare.

截髮迎賓否也貧

貧中賢婦更何人

古今只有陶侃母

所以名留萬代聞

Interpretation

In ancient times, Tao Kan's mother was poor. When guests visited, she cut off her own hair to sell and buy wine to entertain them. Her name is remembered for eternity as a virtuous woman. Those who draw this sign will find peace and good fortune in all matters.
