"Hwan intimates that (under its conditions) there will be progress and "
"success. The king goes to his ancestral temple; and it will be "
"advantageous to cross the great stream. It will be advantageous to "
"be firm and correct. "
" "
"1. The first line, divided, shows its subject engaged in rescuing "
"(from the impending evil) and having (the assistance of) a strong "
"horse. There will be good fortune. "
" "
"2. The second line, undivided, shows its subject, amid the dispersion,"
" hurrying to his contrivance (for security). All occasion for "
"repentance will disappear. "
" "
"3. The third line, divided, shows its subject discarding any regard "
"to his own person. There will be no occasion for repentance. "
" "
"4. The fourth line, divided, shows its subject scattering the "
"(different) parties (in the state); which leads to great good fortune."
"From the dispersion (he collects again good men standing out, a crowd)"
"like a mound, which is what ordinary men would not have thought of. "
" "
"5. The fifth line, undivided, shows its subject amidst the dispersion"
"issuing his great announcements as the perspiration (flows from his "
"body). He scatters abroad (also) the accumulations in the royal "
"granaries. There will be no error. "
" "
"6. The topmost line, undivided, shows its subject disposing of (what "
"may be called) its bloody wounds, and going and separating himself "
"from its anxious fears. There will be no error. "
"---------------------------------------------------------------------"
" When a warm breeze blows over frozen waters it melts and disperses"
" the ice, which has been solidified over the winter. When a person's"
" mind has been hardened by selfish desires it is both unable to move of"
" its own accord and yet isolated from the beneficial influence of others."
" Only the acceptance of a strong new faith can release the spirit from its"
" prison."
