Kieh
Kieh intimates
that (under its conditions) there will be progress and attainment. (But)
if the regulations (which it prescribes) be severe and difficult, they
cannot be permanent.
1. The
first NINE, undivided, shows its subject not quitting the courtyard
outside his door. There will be no error.
2. The
second NINE, undivided, shows its subject not quitting the courtyard
inside his gate. There will be evil.
3. The
third six, divided, shows its subject with no appearance of observing
the (proper) regulations, in which case we shall see him lamenting.
But there will be no one to blame (but himself).
4. The
fourth six, divided, shows its subject quietly and naturally (attentive
to all) regulations. There will be progress and success.
5. The
fifth NINE, undivided, shows its subject sweetly and acceptably enacting
his regulations. There will be good fortune. The onward progress with
them will afford ground for admiration.
6. The
topmost six, divided, shows its subject enacting regulations severe
and difficult. Even with firmness and correctness there will be evil.
But though there will be cause for repentance, it will (by and by) disappear. |
