The 37th Oracle Lot: Dongpo's Excursion to the Red Cliffs
Traditional fortune label: Very Auspicious
Lot poem
On a moonlit night, casting a line for a giant sea turtle in the autumn river, the fish caught looks just like a four-gilled bass. At home, the stored aged wine is enough to fill bushels; passing wine cups with friends, we empty the jugs completely.
Story and textual notes
Although Su Dongpo did not have great luck in his political career, he was a refined and romantic scholar with a wide circle of friends. He found solace in mountains and rivers, enjoying beautiful times and scenery, exchanging poems and wine with close friends, which was also a great joy in life. During his excursion to the Red Cliffs, he wrote the famous poem 'The Great River Flows East', which has been passed down through the ages.
Interpretation
This oracle lot records the pleasant excursion of Su Dongpo at the Red Cliffs. Under the autumn moon shining on the river, boating and fishing with good friends, he surprisingly caught a premium four-gilled bass.

Having a bushel of stored aged wine to pour and drink together with close friends is a scene of happy and carefree leisure. For those who obtain this oracle lot, their plans will succeed, all matters will go smoothly, and everything will be favorable.
