- "Pi indicates that (under the conditions which it supposes) there is "
- "good fortune. But let (the principal party intended in it) re- "
- "(examine himself, (as if) by divination, whether his virtue be "
- "great, unintermitting, and firm. If it be so, there will be no "
- "error. Those who have not rest will then come to him; and with "
- "those who are (too) late in coming it will be ill. "

- "1. The first line, divided, shows its subject seeking by his "
- "sincerity to win the attachment of his object. There will be no "
- "error. Let (the breast) be full of sincerity as an earthenware "
- "vessel is of its contents, and it will in the end bring other "
- "advantages. "
- " "
- "2. In the second line, divided, we see the movement towards union "
- "and attachment proceeding from the inward (mind). With firm "
- "correctness there will be good fortune. "
- " "
- "3. In the third line, divided, we see its subject seeking for union "
- "with such as ought not to be associated with. "
- " "
- "4. In the fourth line, divided, we see its subject seeking for union "
- "with the one beyond himself. With firm correctness there will be "
- "good fortune. "
- " "
- "5. The fifth line, undivided, affords the most illustrious instance "
- "of seeking union and attachment. (We seem to see in it) the king "
- "urging his pursuit of the game (only) in three directions, and "
- "allowing the escape of all the animals before him, while the people "
- "of his towns do not warn one another (to prevent it). There will "
- "be good fortune. "
- " "
- "6. In the topmost line, divided, we see one seeking union and "
- "attachment without having taken the first step (to such an end). "
- " There will be evil. "
