The verse

In plain words

This is a life built on fairness and good conduct, where fortune keeps flowing rather than arriving once and fading. The verse says every flavor of life has been tasted, sweet, sour, bitter, and sharp, and that experience becomes the foundation for steady, abundant gain. There is no sudden windfall here, just a dependable current of wealth that keeps growing because the person meets it with fairness, patience, and a wide-ranging understanding of how life actually works.

Career

Progress comes through fair dealing and a reputation for doing things properly rather than cutting corners. Having faced a full range of situations, easy and hard alike, gives this person unusual steadiness under pressure. Growth tends to be gradual rather than explosive, built on trust earned over time, with opportunities widening as that reputation for courtesy and reliability spreads.

Wealth

Money moves in steadily rather than in sudden bursts, described plainly as rolling in, secure and plentiful. The variety of experience behind this pattern means resources are managed with good sense rather than recklessness. There is little risk of fortune drying up; instead it tends to accumulate quietly, supported by fair conduct and a temperament that doesn't panic when circumstances shift.

Character

Courteous, principled, and unusually well-rounded, this is someone who treats people rightly because they understand, from firsthand experience, how differently life can turn out. Having weathered many kinds of moments, they carry a calm, seasoned confidence. One thing to watch: comfort earned through steady gain can tip into complacency, so it helps to keep engaging fully rather than coasting once things go smoothly.

Family and people

Courtesy learned through varied experience shows up warmly at home, with a natural instinct for fairness and consideration toward relatives. Relationships tend to be steady rather than dramatic, built on mutual respect. Because this person has known many sides of life, they tend to be understanding with family members going through their own difficult or uneven stretches.

Three stages of life

  1. Early years

    Early years bring a wide range of experiences, some sweet, some difficult, that shape good judgment early on rather than leaving lasting hardship.

  2. Middle years

    Middle years turn that accumulated experience into real advantage, with steady advancement in work and a widening, dependable flow of resources.

  3. Later years

    Later years settle into calm abundance, the fortune built earlier continuing on its own steady course, supported by the respect this person has earned.

Guanyitang's advice

The verse notes that sweet, sour, bitter, and hot have all been tasted, so treat each difficult stretch as part of the same steady path rather than a detour from it. Staying open to varied experience, instead of avoiding discomfort, is exactly what keeps the wealth described here flowing steadily and abundantly.
