Preponderance of the Small. Success.

Small things may be done; great things should not be done.
The flying bird brings the message:
It is not well to strive upward,
It is well to remain below.
Great good fortune.,
Thunder on the mountain:
The image of Preponderance of the Small.

In bereavement he gives preponderance to grief.
In his expenditures he gives preponderance to thrift.
