Li The Clinging, Flame
The Judgement
The Clinging.
Perseverance furthers.
It brings
success.
Care of the
cow brings good fortune.
The Image
That which
is bright rises twice:
The image
of Fire.
Thus the
great man, by perpetuating this brightness,
Illumines
the four quarters of the world.
The Lines
Nine at the
beginning means:
The footprints
run crisscross.
If one is
seriously intent, no blame.
Six in the
second place means:
Yellow light.
Supreme good fortune.
Nine in the
third place means:
In the light
of the setting sun,
Men either
beat the pot and sing
Or loudly
bewail the approach of old age.
Misfortune.
Nine in the
fourth place means:
Its coming
is sudden;
It flames
up, dies down, is thrown away.
Six in the
fifth place means:
Tears in
floods, sighing and lamenting.
Good fortune.
Nine at the
top means:
The king
uses him to march forth and chastise.
Then it is
best to kill the leaders
And take
captive the followers. No blame.
