Heksagram 46 av 64
Å Skyve Oppover
升 · Shēng
Kun (Earth) · Xun (Wind)
Dommen
Shăng antyder at det (under dets betingelser) vil bli stor fremgang og suksess. Ved å søke (gjennom egenskapene det antyder) å møte den store mannen, trenger dets subjekt ikke ha noen angst. Fremrykning mot sør vil være lykkelig.
De seks linjene
Linje 1
The first SIX, divided, shows its subject advancing upwards with the welcome (of those above him). There will be great good fortune.
Linje 2
The second NINE, undivided, shows its subject with that sincerity which will make even the (small) offerings of the vernal sacrifice acceptable. There will be no error.
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
The fifth six, divided, shows its subject firmly correct, and therefore enjoying good fortune. He ascends the stairs (with all due ceremony).
Linje 6
The sixth six, divided, shows its subject advancing upwards blindly. Advantage will be found in a ceaseless maintenance of firm correctness.
