Het Oordeel
Hăng duidt succesvolle vooruitgang aan en geen fout (in wat het aanduidt). Maar het voordeel zal komen van juist en standvastig te zijn; en beweging in welke richting dan ook zal voordelig zijn.
De zes lijnen
Lijn 1
The first SIX, divided, shows its subject deeply (desirous) of long continuance. Even with firm correctness there will be evil; there will be no advantage in any way.
Lijn 2
The second NINE, undivided, shows all occasion for repentance disappearing.
Lijn 3
The third NINE, undivided, shows one who does not continuously maintain his virtue. There are those who will impute this to him as a disgrace. However firm he may be, there will be ground for regret.
Lijn 4
The fourth NINE, undivided, shows a field where there is no game.
Lijn 5
The fifth SIX, divided, shows its subject continuously maintaining the virtue indicated by it. In a wife this will be fortunate; in a husband, evil.
Lijn 6
The topmost SIX, divided, shows its subject exciting himself to long continuance. There will be evil.
