Divined on Bing: In five days our lords eye(s) will finish being sick. 1 tive meaning. Reading as something ominous makes sense here but elsewhere in the HYZ OBI is used in its original sense. Divination (8) below in the sequence says in the preface that the bulls stomach will be contributed to the king. This suggests that participants took parts of the sacrifice and contributed other parts to the king. For this reason, I read this divina- tion as proposing that the protagonist gets the heart when sacrificing a bull to Ancestress Geng on the following day. 547 For the reading of this word, see Sun Yabing 2014: 109-112. HYZ 113, 237, 401 and 490 record divinations about whether or not to contribute meat to the king. 548 is the result of a previous divination. The test divination that follows it is trying to determine whether adding meat along with the sacrificed bulls stomach is the right course of action. HYZ 446 | 357
