"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. "

" The proper place for the power of thunder is in heaven. Then things"
" are as they should be. Likewise the great person is always in total"
" harmony with what is right and his actions have good effects."
