Kieh
In (the
state indicated by) Kieh advantage will be found in the south-west.
If no (further) operations be called for, there will be good fortune
in coming back (to the old conditions). If some operations be called
for, there will be good fortune in the early conducting of them.
1. The
first six, divided, shows that its subject will commit no error.
2. The
second NINE, undivided, shows its subject catch, in hunting, three foxes,
and obtain the yellow (=golden) arrows. With firm correctness there
will be good fortune.
3. The
third six, divided, shows a porter with his burden, (yet) riding in
a carriage. He will (only) tempt robbers to attack him. However firm
and correct he may (try to) be, there will be cause for regret.
4. (To
the subject of) the fourth NINE, undivided, (it is said), 'Remove your
toes. Friends will (then) come, between you and whom there will be mutual
confidence.'
5. The
fifth six, divided, shows (its subject), the superior man (=the ruler),
executing his function of removing (whatever is injurious to the idea
of the hexagram), in which case there will be good fortune, and confidence
in him will be shown even by the small men.
6. In the
sixth six, divided, we see a feudal prince (with his bow) shooting at
a falcon on the top of a high wall, and hitting it. (The effect of his
action) will be in every way advantageous.
