"I indicates that with firm correctness there will be good fortune (in "
"what is denoted by it). We must look at what we are seeking to "
"nourish, and by the exercise of our thoughts seek for the proper "
"aliment. "
" "
"1. The first line, undivided, (seems to be thus addressed), 'You "
"leave your efficacious tortoise, and look at me till you lower jaw "
"hangs down.' There will be evil. "
" "
"2. The second line, divided, shows one looking downwards for "
"nourishment, which is contrary to what is proper; or seeking it from "
"the height (above), advance towards which will lead to evil. "
" "
"3. The third line, divided, shows one acting contrary to the method "
"of nourishing. However firm he may be, there will be evil. For ten "
"years let him not take any action, (for) it will not be in any way "
"advantageous. "
" "
"4. The fourth line, divided, shows one looking downwards for (the "
"power to) nourish. There will be good fortune. Looking with a "
"tigers downward unwavering glare, and with his desire that impels "
"him to spring after spring, he will fall into no error. "
" "
"5. The fifth line, divided, shows one acting contrary to what is "
"regular and proper; but if he abide in firmness, there will be good "
"fortune. He should not, (however, try to) cross the great stream. "
" "
"6. The sixth line, undivided, shows him from whom comes the "
"nourishing. His position is perilous, but there will be good "
"fortune. It will be advantageous to cross the great stream. "

" Thunder at the base of the mountain brings conditions favourable for"
"growth. The wise man shows moderation in his eating, and drinking,"
"thus providing a healthy base for his words and deeds, which also"
"reflect his tranquil and moderate attitudes."
