"Li indicates that, (in regard to what it denotes), it will be "
"advantageous to be firm and correct, and that thus there will be free "
"course and success. Let (its subject) also nourish (a docility like "
"that of) the cow, and there will be good fortune. "
" "
"1. The first line, undivided, shows one ready to move with confused "
"steps. But he treads at the same time reverently, and there will be "
"no mistake. "
" "
"2. The second line, divided, shows its subject in his place in "
"yellow. There will be great good fortune. "
" "
"3. The third line, undivided, shows its subject in a position like "
"that of the declining sun. Instead of playing on his instrument of "
"earthenware, and singing to it, he utters the groans of an old man of "
"eighty. There will be evil. "
" "
"4. The fourth line, undivided, shows the manner of its subject's "
"coming. How abrup it is, as with fire, with death, to be rejected "
"(by all)! "
" "
"5. The fifth line, divided, shows its subject as one with tears "
"flowing in torrents, and groaning in sorrow. There will be good "
"fortune. "
" "
"6. The topmost line, undivided, shows the king employing its subject "
"in his punitive expeditions. Achieving admirable (merit), he breaks "
"(only) the chiefs (of the rebels). Where his prisoners were not "
"their associates, he does not punish. There will be no error. "

" The sun pours out it light and illuminates the whold of the natural"
" world. The light clings to objects and makes them brilliant. In the"
" same way great people illuminate all those around them, penetrating"
" to the true nature of Man."
