Lot poem
In Kongtong City, affairs are as tangled as hemp, How many households are as free from trouble as yours? I advise you not to constantly pray, For you will only make trouble in vain and sigh in bitterness.
Story and textual notes
In Kongtong City refers generally to where you live. Affairs as tangled as hemp means everyone is busy and restless. Free of trouble as you means you alone enjoy the pleasure of leisure. How many households is something others can only dream of. Constantly praying refers to greedy and wishful thinking, praying for divine protection. I advise you not to is warning you and stopping you. In vain creating trouble means having no trouble but looking for trouble, which will surely bring much worry and labor. Sighing in bitterness means sighing deeply. By then, repentance is too late. It is better to wake up early.
Interpretation
There are very few people who can live as peacefully and free of trouble as you. Your current leisure is derived from the accumulated virtues and good deeds of your ancestors, which cannot be forced. If you are unsatisfied with the current situation and are still eagerly pursuing wealth and honor, begging heaven and gods, you will only add to your troubles. This greed will cause much toil, and it will be too late for regrets. You must see through this point and awaken early to live in peace; otherwise, it will be in vain and you may even toil for a lifetime.
Traditional summary
Lawsuits resolved are auspicious; no wealth to seek; marriage not yet completed; illness is of no worry; news has not arrived; do not plot other things; no need to pray; just dwell in peace.
