20 Kwan
Kwan shows
(how he whom it represents should be like) the worshipper who has washed
his hands, but not (yet) presented his offerings; -- with sincerity and
an appearance of dignity (commanding reverent regard).
1. The first
six, divided, shows the looking of a lad; -- not blamable in men of inferior
rank, but matter for regret in superior men.
2. The second
six, divided, shows one peeping out from a door. It would be advantageous
if it were (merely) the firm correctness of a female.
3. The third
six, divided, shows one looking at (the course of) his own life, to advance
or recede (accordingly).
4- The fourth
six, divided, shows one contemplating the glory of the kingdom. It will
be advantageous for him, being such as he is, (to seek) to be a guest
of the king.
5. The fifth
NINE, undivided, shows its subject contemplating his own life(-course).
A superior man, he will (thus) fall into no error.
6. The sixth
NINE, undivided, shows its subject contemplating his character to see
if it be indeed that of a superior man. He will not fall into error.
