10 Li
(Li suggests
the idea of) one treading on the tail of a tiger, which does not bite
him. 'I'here will be progress and success.
1. The first
NINE, undivided, shows its subject treading his accustomed path. If he
go forward, there will be no error.
2. The second
NINE, undivided, shows its subject treading the path that is level and
easy;-a quiet and solitary man, to whom, if he be firm and correct, there
will be good fortune.
3. The third
six, divided, shows a one-eyed man (Who thinks he) can see; a lame man
(who thinks he) can walk well; one who treads on the tail of a tiger and
is bitten. (All this indicates) ill fortune. We have a (mere) bravo acting
the part of a great ruler.
4. The fourth
NINE, undivided, shows its subject treading on the tail of a tiger. He
becomes full of apprehensive caution, and in the end there will be good
fortune.
5. The fifth
NINE, undivided, shows the resolute tread of its subject. Though he be
firm and correct, there will be peril.
6. The sixth
NINE, undivided, tells us to look at (the whole course) that is trodden,
and examine the presage which that gives. If it be complete and without
failure, there will be great good fortune.
