Dommen
Shăng antyder, at der (under dets betingelser) vil komme stor fremgang og succes. Ved at søge (gennem de egenskaber, det antyder) at møde den store mand, behøver dets subjekt ikke have angst. Fremrykning mod syd vil være lykkebringende.

The first SIX, divided, shows its subject advancing upwards with the welcome (of those above him). There will be great good fortune.

Linje 3
The third NINE, undivided, shows its subject ascending upwards (as into) an empty city.
Linje 4
The fourth SIX, divided, shows its subject employed by the king to present his offerings on mount Khî. There will be good fortune; there will be no mistake.
Linje 5

Linje 6
