Khien indicates
progress and success. The superior man, (being humble as it implies),
will have a (good) issue (to his undertakings).
1. The first
six, divided, shows us the superior man who adds humility to humility.
(Even) the great stream may be crossed with this, and there will be good
fortune.
2. The second
six, divided, shows us humility that has made itself recognized. With
firm correctness there will be good fortune.
3. The third
NINE, undivided, shows the superior man of (acknowledged) merit. He will
maintain his success to the end, and have good fortune.
4. The fourth
six, divided, shows one, whose action would be in every way advantageous,
stirring up (the more) his humility.
5. The fifth
six, divided, shows one who, without being rich, is able to employ his
neighbors. He may advantageously use the force of arms. All his movements
will be advantageous.
6. The sixth
six, divided, shows us humility that has made itself recognized. The subject
of it will with advantage put his hosts in motion; but (he will only)
punish his own towns and state.
