Fifteenth Fortune Stick

Medium

A gentleman considers propriety,

Not falsely accused of deceit and trickery.

Reading the Fortune Stick Poem

A gentleman must pay attention to propriety. Knowing that words and actions can lose propriety, he stays upright and does not take an improper path. His thoughts are noble, and his demeanor high. As pure as ice and jade, he is well-liked, and others have no grounds to slander him.

Note: Gentlemen should conduct themselves with propriety, and ladies should maintain chastity. Impropriety and frivolity lead to slander.
