The Song of Pits and Hollows in the Eight Directions

Eight Directions, Eight Verdicts in Verse

This short song reads the ground defects of a site by direction: a hollow, a pool or a bend at each position has its own consequence, from conscription and crippling to eye disease, lawsuits, wasting illness, poverty and the loss of heirs. Every line is a direction paired with a verdict, and the last line claims the whole art lies in the palm of the hand.
