Lot 57 of 100

Hear of right and wrong as wind passing the ear

The poem

聞是聞非風過耳好衣好祿日當空君須記取他年事汝意還同我意同

In English

Hear of right and wrong as wind passing the ear.Good clothing and income are like the sun at noon.You should remember the matters of another year:your heart is the same as mine.

What it says

The poem says rumors of right and wrong are only wind past the ear, to be let go. Livelihood is described as steady as the noon sun. The last lines ask you to remember earlier days and say hearts are in tune. The theme is not being swayed by noise and valuing trust between people.

A thought to take with you

Let gossip pass, and treasure the people who share your heart.
