Das Urteil
Hsiâo Kwo deutet an, dass es (in den Bedingungen, die es bedeutet) Fortschritt und Erlangen geben wird. Aber es wird vorteilhaft sein, fest und recht zu sein. (Was der Name bezeichnet) kann in kleinen Angelegenheiten getan werden, aber nicht in großen Angelegenheiten. (Es ist wie) die Töne, die von einem fliegenden Vogel herabkommen;—herabzusteigen ist besser als aufzusteigen. Es wird (auf diese Weise) großes gutes Glück geben.
Die sechs Linien
Linie 1
The first SIX, divided, suggests (the idea of) a bird flying, (and ascending) till the issue is evil.
Linie 2
The second SIX, divided, shows its subject passing by his grandfather, and meeting with his grandmother; not attempting anything against his ruler, but meeting him as his minister. There will be no error.
Linie 3
The third NINE, undivided, shows its subject taking no extraordinary precautions against danger; and some in consequence finding opportunity to assail and injure him. There will be evil.
Linie 4
The fourth NINE, undivided, shows its subject falling into no error, but meeting (the exigency of his situation), without exceeding (in his natural. course). If he go forward, there will be peril, and he must be cautious. There is no occasion to be using firmness perpetually.
Linie 5
The fifth SIX, divided, (suggests the idea) of dense clouds, but no rain, coming from our borders in the west. It also (shows) the prince shooting his arrow, and taking the bird in a cave.
Linie 6
The sixth SIX, divided, shows. its subject not meeting (the exigency of his situation), and exceeding (his proper course). (It suggests the idea of) a bird flying far aloft. There will be evil. The case is what is called one of calamity and self-produced injury.
