Lu
Lu intimates
that (in the condition which it denotes) there may be some little attainment
and progress. If the stranger or traveler be firm and correct as he
ought to be, there will be good fortune.
1. The
first six, divided, shows the stranger mean and meanly occupied. It
is thus that he
brings
on himself (further) calamity.
2. The
second six, divided, shows the stranger, occupying his lodging-house,
carrying with him his means of livelihood, and provided with good and
trusty servants.
3. The
third NINE, undivided, shows the stranger, burning his lodging-house,
and having lost his servants. However firm and correct he (try to) be,
he will be in peril.
4. The
fourth NINE, undivided, shows the traveler in a resting-place, having
(also) the means of livelihood and the axe, (but still saying),'I am
not at ease in my mind.'
5. The
fifth six, divided, shows its subject shooting a pheasant. He will lose
his arrow, but in the end he will obtain praise and a (high) charge.
6. The
sixth NINE, undivided, suggests the idea of a bird burning its nest.
The stranger, (thus represented), first laughs and then cries out. He
has lost his ox(-like docility) too readily and easily. There will be
evil. |
