The Image
Under heaven, wind: The image of COMING TO MEET. Thus the prince issues his commands And proclaims them to the four quarters of the world.
The Lines
Nine at the top: He comes to meet with his horns. Humiliation. No blame.
The Image says: 'He comes to meet with his horns.' At the top, one is exhausted and humiliated.
Nine in the fifth place: A melon covered with willow leaves. Hidden lines. Then it drops down to one from heaven.
The Image says: 'The nine in the fifth place has hidden lines.' It is in the middle and correct. 'It drops down to one from heaven.' The will does not neglect the command.
Nine in the fourth place: No fish in the tank. This leads to misfortune.
The Image says: The misfortune of 'no fish' is that one is far from the people.
Nine in the third place: There is no skin on his thighs, and walking is difficult. If one is mindful of the danger, no great mistake is made.
The Image says: 'Walking is difficult.' The walking has not yet been led.
Nine in the second place: There is a fish in the tank. No blame. Does not further guests.
The Image says: 'There is a fish in the tank.' According to right it should not be extended to guests.
Six at the beginning: It must be checked with a brake of bronze. Perseverance brings good fortune. If one lets it take its course, one experiences misfortune. Even a lean pig has it in him to rage.
The Image says: 'It must be checked with a brake of bronze.' The way of the weak is to be led.
