Kia
Zan
For (the
realization of what is taught in) Kia Zan, (or for the regulation of
the family), what is most advantageous is that the wife be firm and
correct.
1. The
first NINE, undivided, shows its subject establishing restrictive regulations
in his household. Occasion for repentance will disappear.
2. The
second six, divided, shows its subject taking nothing on herself, but
in her central place attending to the preparation of the food. Through
her firm correctness there will be good fortune.
3. The
third NINE, undivided, shows its subject (treating) the members of the
household with stern severity. There will be occasion for repentance,
there will be peril, (but) there will (also) be good fortune. If the
wife and children were to be smirking and chattering, in the end there
would be occasion for regret.
4. The
fourth six, divided, shows its subject enriching the family. There will
be great good fortune.
5. The
fifth NINE, undivided, shows the influence of the king extending to
his family. There need be no anxiety; there will be good fortune.
6. The
topmost NINE, undivided, shows its subject possessed of sincerity and
arrayed in majesty. In the end there will be good fortune.
