A dragon and tiger goes to the deep mountains together,

Why would they be looking back?

Know that they seemed amorous of each other,

Yet soon they will severe all ties.



Intepretation:

Two persons are as compatible as a dragon and a tiger, yet dwell in the same mountain without any cause for concern. Yet they do not know their so-called friendship is a mistake that will eventually lead to complete separation. This poem provides the advise that people who do not share common grounds yet are forced to work together will eventually separate. In marital matters, a couple will find it hard to maintain their marriage. For matters of business partnerships, a break up may be down the road complete with severe disagreements. For business undertakings, success may be difficult due to the number of competitors. For financial undertakings or for fame, difficulty is to be expected. Movers, travelers or people looking to change their jobs should know that such actions are not favored, and should remain in their position and wait for better opportunities.
