The verse

青蚨盈萬積如邱收拾無從嘆不休好把一繩穿貫去教君怕足更何求

In English

Coins fill tens of thousands and pile like hills.Yet with no way to gather them, sighing does not stop.Better string them through with one cord.When you have enough, what more should you seek?

Looking up a number ≠ drawing for yourself

This page is for looking up a sign you already drew. If you have a question of your own, write it first — then draw once. One question, one stick; do not redraw for a luckier answer.

Textual notes

青蚨 means money. The term comes from a legend that coins marked with the blood of the qingfu insect would return after being spent.
