Domen
Hsiâo Kwo antyder att (i de förhållanden den innebär) kommer det bli framsteg och uppnående. Men det kommer bli fördelaktigt att vara fast och rätt. (Det namnet betecknar) kan göras i små angelägenheter, men inte i stora angelägenheter. (Det är likt) tonerna som kommer ner från en fågel i flykt;—att sjunka ner är bättre än att stiga upp. Det kommer (på detta sätt) bli stor god lycka.
