Stick #40: Harmony Is Precious (Neutral)
和气生财亦生福，争执最损两家门。凡事留人三分面，和为贵处万事温。
Plain reading
This lot says harmony breeds wealth and peace. Quarrel harms both gates. Leave face for others — where harmony rules, all turns warm.
Interpretation
"Harmony Is Precious" is a neutral stick. Gentle air makes money and blessing; fight drains both houses. Save face — harmony warms all things.
Situation notes
- Career: Team harmony finishes work — lone wolf tires.
- Relationships: Couple peace — all affairs rise.
- Wealth: Harmony keeps clients — fight sends them away.
Common misread
Auspicious tiers (such as Neutral) are tone, not a verdict. Name one action you control before redrawing.
Advice
Before speaking ask: will this break peace? Soften when you can — harmony is road for self and other.
Drawn from Analects — "harmony is precious in ritual" — and Zhang Ying's six-foot lane — yield land, gain peace.
