Khwei
Khwei indicates
that, (notwithstanding the condition of things which it denotes), in
small matters there will (still) be good success.
1. The
first NINE, undivided, shows that (to its subject) occasion for repentance
will disappear. He has lost his horses, but let him not seek for them;
-they will return of themselves. Should he meet with bad men, he will
not err (in communicating with them).
2. The
second NINE, undivided, shows its subject happening to meet with his
lord in a bye-passage. There will be no error.
3. In the
third six, divided, we see one whose carriage is dragged back, while
the oxen in it are pushed back, and he is himself subjected to the shaving
of his head and the cutting off of his nose. There is no good beginning,
but there will be a good end.
4. The
fourth NINE, undivided, shows its subject solitary amidst the (prevailing)
disunion. (But) he meets with the good man (represented by the first
line), and they blend their sincere desires together. The position is
one of peril, but there will be no mistake.
5. The
fifth six, divided, shows that (to its subject) occasion for repentance
will disappear. With his relative (and minister he unites closely and
readily) as if he were biting through a piece of skin.. When he goes
forward (with this help), what error can there be?
6. The
topmost NINE, undivided, shows its subject solitary amidst the (prevailing)
disunion. (In the subject of the third line, he seems to) see a pig
bearing on its back a load of mud, (or fancies) there is a carriage
full of ghosts. He first bends his bow against him, and afterwards unbends
it, (for he discovers) that he is not an assailant to injure, but a
near relative. Going forward, he shall meet with (genial) rain, and
there will be good fortune. |
