1 The gate of the Heavenly Palace

Be like heaven with its timing and do what you need to do before the end of this period.

2 Earth has spirits

Trust the earth, both around and inside yourself. It is the wisdom of your heart.

3 The flowers of Chang'an

Life can be beautiful, but it will need you to live it.

4 Autumn Chrysanthemum

Some make life beautiful, others make it last.

5 Dragon and tiger

When new opportunities open up, the 'dragons and tigers' seize them.

6 The one wonderful road
Most people don't understand how simple it is. Find out what you really really like, deep down inside.

7 Change with changes

Move along with every change, so you make the best of it.

8 Everything has its time.

Everything connects with everything, all influence each other. Nothing in universe is on its own.

(Chinese history is not cause-effect in a sequence, but in time units.)

9 A Phoenix appears

Act, stop, clear up or hold fast, all at your own right time. Dare to be drastic.

10 Good omens

Individual initiative and also harmony, they make good things happen.

11 No tracks or traces

It is difficult to find the cause of what happens, and it makes you desperate. Don't let it get at you - keep trying.

12 No fish to catch

Don't go on when things don't look right and when your own mind is gloomy. First make yourself feel better.

13 Your aims achieved.

Solidify what you made. It is not enough to make a child, you also have to give it a home and raise it. Apply this to anything you do.

14 A waste of time

Focus on the whole, which means accomplishing things instead of fighting for every step.

15 Some color returning

When something beyond your control can drain the color from your life, then examine the power of your own heart.

16 Harmony and concord

Harmony makes everything go better.

17 Jade and pearls

Your wishes can only become true if you trust yourself and start making them happen.

18 The single thought

Thoughts have a huge power. You should be in charge or else they will be.

19 Smiling down from the clouds

Down there you get lost among the trees, better get an overview of the whole wood.

20 No footing

Without a solid footing nothing beautiful can happen, and what there is, will wither.

21 Challenge after challenge

Fame and wealth are the result of very ard work.

22 Mutual help

Help doesn't need to finish the job. Just where it is needed for the next step.

23 The moon is bright

Enjoy what you have and what happens to be there.

24 Restlessness

The way to get somewhere is to take step after step. Bother with the right direction, not with reaching the goal itself.
