"Hsiao Khu indicates that (under its conditions) there will be progress"
"and success. (We see) dense clouds, but no rain coming from our "
"borders in the west. "
" "
"1. The first line, undivided, shows its subject returning and pursuing"
"his own course. What mistake should he fall into? There will be good "
"fortune. "
" "
"2. The second line, undivided, shows its subject, by the attraction "
"(of the former line), returning (to the proper course). There will be "
"good fortune. "
" "
"3. The third line, undivided, suggests the idea of a carriage, the "
"strap beneath which has been removed, or of a husband and wife "
"looking on each other with averted eyes. "
" "
"4. The fourth line, divided, shows its subject possessed of sincerity."
"The danger of bloodshed is thereby averted, and his (ground for) "
"apprehension dismissed. There will be no mistake. "
" "
"5. The fifth line, undivided, shows its subject posessed of sincerity,"
"and drawing others to unite with him. Rich in resources, he employs "
"his neighbours (in the same cause with himself). "
" "
"6. The topmost line, undivided, shows how the rain has fallen, and the"
"(onward progress) is stayed;-(so) must we value the full accumulation "
"of the virtue (represented by the upper trigram). But a wife "
"(exercising restraint), however firm and correct she may be, is in a "
"position of peril, (and like) the moon approaching to the full. If the"
"superior man prosecute his measures (in such circumstances), there "
"will be evil. "
"-----------------------------------------------------------------"
" Wind, which itself has no substance, can bring together clouds in"
" the sky but may move apart again. A good person, in difficult"
" times, may likewise only be able to achieve small things."
