above Sun The Gentle, Wind





below K’an The Abysmal, Water

The Judgement

Dispersion. Success.

The king approaches his temple.

It furthers one to cross the great water.

Perseverance furthers.

The Image

The wind drives over the water:

The image of Dispersion.

Thus the kings of old sacrificed to the Lord

And built temples.

The Lines

Six at the beginning means:

He brings help with the strength of a horse.

Good fortune.

Nine in the second place means:

At the dissolution

He hurries to that which supports him.

Remorse disappears.

Six in the third place means:

He dissolves his self. No remorse.

Six in the fourth place means:

He dissolves his bond with his group.

Supreme good fortune.

Dispersion leads in turn to accumulation.

This is something that ordinary men do not think of.

Nine in the fifth place means:

His loud cries are as dissolving as sweat.

Dissolution! A king abides without blame.

Nine at the top means:

He dissolves his blood.

Departing, keeping at a distance, going out,

Is without blame.
