Zhuge Oracle Lesson 256
Oracle Text
East, south, and north will all become old ruins,
the Yan-Ji land, its people with no relief;
if you would rouse a great and valiant heart—
where is the source of water? You do not know.
Interpretation
The environment is extremely dangerous, with both near worries and distant troubles. If you would survive in a desperate place, you must first seek out a life-giving source of water.
