The Judgement
-
Pushing upward has supreme success.
One must see the great man.
Fear not.
Departure toward the south
Brings good fortune.

Within the earth, wood grows:
The image of Pushing Upward.
Thus the superior man of devoted character
Heaps up small things
In order to achieve something high and great.

If one is sincere,
It furthers one to bring even a small offering.
No blame.

One pushes upward into an empty city.

Good fortune. No blame.
