Kien suggests
to us the marriage of a young lady, and the good fortune (attending
it). There
will be
advantage in being firm and correct.
1. The
first six, divided, shows the wild geese gradually approaching the shore.
A young officer (in similar circumstances) will be in a position of
danger, and be spoken against; but there will be no error.
2. The
second six, divided, shows the geese gradually approaching the large
rocks, where they eat and drink joyfully and at ease. There will be
good fortune.
3. The
third NINE, undivided, shows them gradually advanced to the dry plains.
(It suggests also the idea of) a husband who goes on an expedition from
which he does not return, and of a wife who is pregnant, but will not
nourish her child. There will be evil. (The case symbolized) might be
advantageous in resisting plunderers.
4. The
fourth six, divided, shows the geese gradually advanced to the trees.
They may light on the flat branches. There will be no error.
5. The
fifth NINE, undivided, shows the geese gradually advanced to the high
mound. (It suggests the idea of) a wife who for three years does not
become pregnant; but in the end the natural issue cannot be prevented.
There will be good fortune.
6. The
sixth NINE, undivided, shows the geese gradually advanced to the large
heights (beyond). Their feathers can be used as ornaments. There will
be good fortune.
