above K’an The Abysmal, Water
below Li The Clinging, Flame
The Judgement
-
After Completion. Success in small matters.
Perseverance furthers.
At the beginning good fortune,
At the end disorder.
The Image
-
Water over fire: the image of the condition
In After Completion.
Thus the superior man
Takes thoughts of misfortune
And arms himself against it in advance.
The Lines
Nine at the beginning means:
He brakes his wheels.
He gets his tail in the water.
No blame.
Six in the second place means:
The woman loses the curtain of her carriage.
Do not run after it;
On the seventh day you will get it.
-
Nine in the third place means:
The Illustrious Ancestor
Disciplines the Devil’s Country.
After three years he conquers it.
Inferior people must not be employed.
-
Six in the fourth place means:
The finest clothes turn to rags.
Be careful all day long.
-
Nine in the fifth place means:
The neighbor in the east who slaughters an ox
Does not attain as much real happiness
As the neighbor in the west
With his small offering.
-
Six at the top means:
He gets his head in the water. Danger.
