In Chin
we see a prince who secures the tranquillity (of the people) presented
on that account with numerous horses (by the king), and three times
in a day received at interviews.
1. The
first six, divided, shows one wishing to advance, and (at the same time)
kept back. Let him be firm and correct, and there will be good fortune.
If trust be not reposed in him, let him maintain a large and generous
mind, and there will be no error.
2. The
second six, divided, show. its subject with the appearance of advancing,
and yet of being sorrowful. If he be firm and correct, there will be
good fortune. He will receive this great blessing from his grandmother.
3. The
third six, divided, shows its subject trusted by all (around him). All
occasion for repentance will disappear.
4. The
fourth NINE, undivided, shows its subject with the appearance of advancing,
but like a marmot. However firm and correct he may be, the position
is one of peril.
5. The
fifth six, divided, shows h6w all occasion for repentance disappears
(from its subject). (But) let him not concern himself about whether
he shall fail or succeed. To advance will be fortunate, and in every
way advantageous.
6. The
topmost NINE undivided, shows one advancing his horns. But he only uses
them to punish the (rebellious people of his own) city. The position
is perilous, but there will be good fortune. (Yet) however firm and
correct he may be, there will be occasion for regret.
