"Lu intimates that (in the condition which it denotes) there may be "
"some little attainment and progress. If the stranger or traveller be "
"firm and correct as he ought to be, there will be good fortune. "
"1. The first line, divided, shows the stranger mean and meanly "
"occupied. It is thus that he brings on himself (further) calamity. "
" "
"2. The second line, divided, shows the stranger, occupying his "
"lodging-house, carrying with him his means of livelihood, and "
"provided with good and trusty servants. "
" "
"3. The third line, undivided, shows the stranger, burning his "
"lodging-house, and having lost his servants. However firm and correct "
"he (try to) be, he will be in peril. "
" "
"4. The fourth line, undivided, shows the traveller in a resting "
"place, having (also) the means of livelihood and the axe, (but still "
"saying), I am not at ease in my mind. "
" "
"5. The fifth line, divided, shows its subject shooting a pheasant. "
"He will lose his arrow, but in the end he will obtain praise and a "
"(high) charge. "
" "
"6. The sixth line, undivided, suggests the idea of a bird burning its "
"nest. The stranger, (thus represented), first laughs and then cries "
"out. He has lost his ox (-like docility) too readily and easily. "
"There will be evil. "

" Fire briefly lights up the mountain but it moves on from place to place"
" as the fuel is exhausted. The wise man uses punishment in the same"
" way - swift, clear and appropriate in severity to the transgression."
