"(What takes place as indicated by) Ko is believed in only after it "
"has been accomplished. There will be great progress and success. "
"Advantage will come from being firm and correct. (In that case) "
"occasion for repentance will disappear. "
" "
"1. The first line, undivided, shows its subject (as if he were) bound "
"with the skin of a yellow ox. "
" "
"2. The second line, divided, shows its subject making his changes "
"after some time has passsed. Action taken will be fortunate. There "
"will be no error. "
" "
"3. The third line, undivided, shows that action taken by its subject "
"will be evil. Though he be firm and correct, his position is "
"perilous. If the change (he contemplates) have been three times fully "
"discussed, he will be believed in. "
" "
"4. The fourth line, undivided, shows occasion for repentance "
"disappearing (from its subject). Let him be believed in; and though "
"he change (existing) ordinances, there will be good fortune. "
" "
"5. The fifth line, undivided, shows the great man (producing his "
"changes) as a tiger (does when he) changes (his stripes). Before he "
"divines (and proceeds to action), faith has been reposed in him. "
" "
"6. The sixth line, divided, shows the superior man producing his "
"changes as the leopard (does when he) changes (his spots), while "
"small men change their faces (and show their obedience). To go "
"forward (now) would lead to evil, but there will be good fortune in "
"abiding firm and correct. "

" Fire and water are in inevitable conflict and when brought together"
" must result in mutual destruction. The various seasons, likewise, can-"
" not exist together, but we can recognise order in their continuous"
" changes. In the affairs of Man, too, we can be prepared for changes by"
" anticipating their natural development."
