Stick #95

Nüwa Mends the Heavens

Fair

Poem

One basket at a time builds the mountain high,

From small to great, endure—don't ask why.

If you shrink from toil and halt midway,

Even mending skies would seem too hard to try.

功勤一簣可成山

由少而多莫憚煩

作事畏辛今汝畫

補天煉石亦無難

Interpretation

Persistent effort, basket by basket, can move mountains. If you fear hardship and limit yourself now, even simple tasks seem impossible. But with steadfast determination, not even repairing the heavens with molten stone would be too difficult. This sign advises: embrace hard work without complaint, and success will follow. Laziness brings misfortune.
