The Image
Fire at the foot of the mountain: The image of GRACE. Thus does the superior man proceed When clearing up current affairs. But he does not venture to decide legal cases.
The Lines
Nine at the top: Simple grace. No blame.
The Image says: 'Simple grace. No blame.' At the top, the will is fulfilled.
Six in the fifth place: Grace in the hills and gardens. The roll of silk is meager and small. Humiliation, but in the end good fortune.
The Image says: The good fortune of the six in the fifth place is due to the joy it brings.
Six in the fourth place: Grace or simplicity? A white horse comes as if on wings. He is not a robber, he will woo in due time.
The Image says: 'The six in the fourth place is in the right position, yet there is doubt.' 'He is not a robber, he will woo in due time.' In the end there is no blame.
Nine in the third place: Graceful and moist. Eternal perseverance brings good fortune.
The Image says: The good fortune of 'eternal perseverance' is that in the end no one will be put to shame.
Six in the second place: Lends grace to the beard on his chin.
The Image says: 'Lends grace to the beard on his chin.' He rises with the one above him.
Nine at the beginning: He lends grace to his toes, leaves the carriage, and walks.
The Image says: 'He leaves the carriage and walks,' because according to right he should not ride.
