Zhuge Oracle Lesson 326

Oracle Text

In books there is a maiden, her face like jade,
in books there is, of itself, a house of gold;
read your fill of five cartloads of books,
and your wishes are satisfied of their own—
why wear out your heart in fretting toil?

Interpretation

Those who draw this oracle should keep these words well in mind: cease your constant worry, and don't toil year-round without reading and study.
