- "Ta Kwang indicates that (under the conditions which it symbolises) "
- "it will be advantageous to be firm and correct. "
- " "
- "1. The first line, undivided, shows its subject manifesting his "
- "strength in his toes. But advance will lead to evil,-most certainly. "
- " "
- "2. The second line, undivided, shows that with firm correctness, "
- "there will be good fortune. "
- " "
- "3. The third line, undivided, shows, in the case of the small man, "
- "one using all his strength; and in the case of the superior man, "
- "one whose rule is not to do so. Even with firm correctness the "
- "position would be perilous. (The exercise of strength in it might "
- "be compared to the case of) a ram butting against a fence, and "
- "getting his hornes entangled. "
- " "
- "4. The fourth line, undivided, shows (a case in which) firm "
- "correctness leads to good fortune, and occasion for repentance "
- "disappears. (We see) the fence opened without the hornes being "
- "entangled. The strength is like that in the wheel-spokes of a "
- "large waggon. "
- " "
- "5. The fifth line, divided, shows one who loses his ram (-like) "
- "strength in the ease of his position. (But) there will be no "
- "occasion for repentenance. "
- " "
- "6. The sixth line, divided, shows (one who may be compared to) the "
- "ram butting against the fence, and unable either to retreat, or to "
- "advance as he would fain do. There will not be advantage in any "
- "respect; but if he realise the difficulty (of his position), there "
- "will be good fortune. "

- " are as they should be. Likewise the great person is always in total"
- " harmony with what is right and his actions have good effects."
