Stick #14: Academic Success (Favorable)
萤窗雪案苦钻研，笔底春风化雨绵。金榜题名应有日，龙门一跃在秋天。
Plain reading
This lot favors study. Long reading at the window becomes spring rain under the brush. The golden roll has its day; leaping the dragon gate is near — perhaps especially in autumn. Keep drilling without slack.
Interpretation
"Academic Success" is a favorable stick. Lamp-and-snow hardship turns to flowing words. The roll will be written; "dragon gate in autumn" hints autumn is especially strong.
Advice
Keep daily lessons. Fill gaps before exams. Drop restlessness — stability wins.
Drawn from the Book of Rites and tales of reading by firefly and snow light — Sun Kang and Che Yin — symbolizing bitter study rewarded.
