"Fang intimates progress and development. When a king has reached the "
"point (which the name denotes) there is no occasion to be anxious "
"(through fear of a change). Let him be as the sun at noon. "
" "
"1. The first line, undivided, shows its subject meeting with his "
"mate. Though they are both of the same character, there will be no "
"error. Advance will call forth approval. "
" "
"2. The second line, divided, shows its subject surrounded by screens "
"so large and thick that at midday he can see from them the "
"constellation of the Bushel. If he go (and try to enlighten his "
"ruler who is thus emblemed), he will make himself to be viewed with "
"suspicion and dislike. Let him cherish his feelings of sincere "
"devotion that he may thereby move (his ruler's mind), and there will "
"be good fortune. "
" "
"3. The third line, undivided, shows its subject with an (additional) "
"screen of a large and thick banner, through which at midday he can "
"see (the small) Mei star. (In the darkness) he breaks his right arm; "
"but there will be no error. "
" "
"4. The fourth line, undivided, shows its subject in a tent so large "
"and thick that at midday he can see from it the constellation of the "
"Bushel. But he meets with the subject of the (first) line, undivided "
"like himself. There will be good fortune. "
" "
"5. The fifth line, divided, shows its subject bringing around him the "
"men of brilliant ability. There will be occasion for congratulation "
"and praise. There will be good fortune. "
" "
"6. The topmost line, divided, shows its subject with his house made "
"large, but only serving as a screen to his household. When he looks "
"at his door, it is still, and there is nobody about it. For three "
"years no one is to be seen. There will be evil. "

" The sound of thunder surrounds lightning. Inner clarity, which can see"
" things as they really are, is surrounded by powerful action which"
" brings a just solution to a problem."
