"In (the state indicated by) Kieh advantage will be found in the "
"south-west. If no (further) operations be called for, there will be "
"good fortune in coming back (to the old conditions). If some opera- "
"tions be called for, there will be good fortune in the early"
"conducting of them. "

"1. The first line, divided, shows that its subject will commit no "
"error. "
" "
"2. The second line, undivided, shows its subject catch, in hunting, "
"three foxes, and obtain the yellow (=golden) arrows. With firm "
"correctness there will be good fortune. "
" "
"3. The third line, divided, shows a porter with his burden, (yet) "
"riding in a carriage. He will (only) tempt robbers to attack him. "
"However firm and correct he may (try to) be, there will be cause for "
"regret. "
" "
"4. (To the subject of) the fourth line, undivided, (it is said), "
" Remove your toes. Friends will (then) come, between you and whom "
"there will be mutual confidence. "
" "
"5. The fifth line, divided, shows (its subject), the superior man (= "
"the ruler), executing his function of removing (whatever is injurious "
"to the idea of the hexagram), in which case there will be good"
"fortune, and confidence in him will be shown even by the small men. "
" "
"6. In the sixth line, divided, we see a feudal prince (with his bow) "
"shooting at a falcon on the top of a high wall, and hitting it. (The "
"effect of his action) will be in every way advantageous. "

" Thunder brings rain which clears away the tension existing before the"
" storm. The wise person acts in the same way when clearing up difficul-"
" ties created by men. When success is achieved there is no need to dwell"
" on errors, whether accidental or intentional."
