Wei Chi
intimates progress and success (in the circumstances which it implies).
(We see) a young fox that has nearly crossed (the stream), when its
tail gets immersed. There will be no advantage in any way.
1. The
first six, divided, shows its subject (like a fox) whose tail gets immersed.
There will be occasion for regret.
2. The
second NINE, undivided, shows its subject dragging back his (carriage-)wheel.
With firmness and correctness there will be good fortune.
3. The
third six, divided, shows its subject, with (the state of things) not
yet remedied, advancing on; which will lead to evil. But there will
be advantage in (trying to) cross the great stream.
4. The
fourth NINE, undivided, shows its subject by firm correctness obtaining
good fortune, so that all occasion for repentance disappears. Let him
stir himself up, as if he were invading the Demon region, where for
three years rewards will come to him (and his troops) from the great
kingdom.
5. The
fifth six, divided, shows its subject by firm correctness obtaining
good fortune, and having no occasion for repentance. (We see in him)
the brightness of a superior man, and the possession of sincerity. There
will be good fortune.
6. The
topmost NINE, undivided, shows its subject full of confidence and therefore
feasting (quietly). There will be no error. (If he) cherish this confidence,
till he (is like the fox who) gets his head immersed, it will fail of
what is right. |
