O Julgamento
Hsiâo Kwo indica que (nas condições que implica) haverá progresso e alcance. Mas será vantajoso ser firme e correto. (O que o nome denota) pode ser feito em pequenos assuntos, mas não em grandes assuntos. (É como) as notas que descem de um pássaro em voo;—descer é melhor que subir. Haverá (deste modo) grande boa fortuna.
