above
Sun The Gentle, Wind
below
Chên The Arousing, Thunder
The Judgement
Increase.
It furthers one
To undertake
something.
It furthers
one to cross the great water.
The Image
Wind and thunder:
the image of Increase.
Thus the
superior man:
If he sees
good, he imitates it;
If he has
faults, he rids himself of them.
The Lines
Nine at the
beginning means:
It furthers
one to accomplish great deeds.
Supreme good
fortune. No blame.
Six in the
second place means:
Someone does
indeed increase him;
Ten pairs
of tortoises cannot oppose it.
Constant
perseverance brings good fortune.
The king
presents him before God.
Good fortune.
Six in the
third place means:
One is enriched
through unfortunate events.
No blame,
if you are sincere
And walk
in the middle,
And report
with a seal to the prince.
Six in the
fourth place means:
If you walk
in the middle
And report
to the prince,
He will follow.
It furthers
one to be used
In the removal
of the capital.
Nine in the
fifth place means:
If in truth
you have a kind heart, ask not.
Supreme good
fortune.
Truly, kindness
will be recognized as your virtue.
Nine at the
top means:
He brings
increase to no one.
Indeed, someone
even strikes him.
He does not
keep his heart constantly steady.
Misfortune.
