WONG TAI SIN · 100 LOTS
Lot 40伯牙碎琴
下下人世知音能有几
碎琴都为子期亡
坟前洒尽千行泪
隔别阴阳各一方
Basic reading
AI-assisted readingThe poem in plain language
Rare understanding is lost with Ziqi's death, and Boya breaks his instrument in grief. Tears at the grave and separation across life and death make this a lament for a listener whose understanding cannot simply be replaced.
The central idea
This lot mourns rare companionship; it does not foretell the loss of someone in your life. Grief may have no ready answer, while remembering a bond can coexist with preserving what matters and allowing present companionship.
