     63.  Chi Chi - After Completion

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 thought of misfortune
          And arms himself against it in advance.

          Does not attain as much real happiness

          He gets his head in the water. Danger.
