Lot 35唐僧取经
中吉天将降任此其人
筋骨先劳苦彼身
莫谓景佳来可易
贫穷富贵有前因
Basic reading
AI-assisted readingThe poem in plain language
The poem imagines hardship preparing someone for a weighty calling, then reflects on the causes behind hardship and prosperity. Its journey-like mood is encouraging but strenuous; it does not establish why any particular person suffers.
The central idea
This lot offers encouragement for a long and demanding journey, where a meaningful wish may take time to take shape. Hardship neither defines the whole journey nor guarantees a reward, and needing help carries no shame.
