Qian (Heaven) · Gen (Mountain)
Dommen
Thun antyder vellykket fremgang (i dets omstændigheder). I ringe grad vil det (dog stadig) være fordelagtigt at være fast og ret.
De seks linjer
Linje 1
The first SIX, divided, shows a retiring tail. The position is perilous. No movement in any direction should be made.
Linje 2
The second SIX, divided, shows its subject holding (his purpose) fast as if by a (thong made from the) hide of a yellow ox, which cannot be broken.
Linje 3
The third NINE, undivided, shows one retiring but bound,—to his distress and peril. (If he were to deal with his binders as in) nourishing a servant or concubine, it would be fortunate for him.
Linje 4
The fourth NINE, undivided, shows its subject retiring notwithstanding his likings. In a superior man this will lead to good fortune; a small man cannot attain to this.
Linje 5
The fifth NINE, undivided, shows its subject retiring in an admirable way. With firm correctness there will be good fortune.
Linje 6
The sixth NINE, undivided, shows its subject retiring in a noble way. It will be advantageous in every respect.
