The Situation

44. Kou - Coming to Meet
Above (in front): Ch'ien - The Creative (Heaven)
Below (behind): Sun - The Gentle (Wind)




The Judgement for the Current Situation

Coming to Meet. The maiden is powerful.
One should not marry such a maiden.


The Image for the Current Situation

Under heaven, wind:
The image of Coming to Meet.
Thus does the prince act when disseminating his commands
And proclaiming them to the four quarters of heaven.


Interpretation of the Changing Line(s)

Line 1: It must be checked with a brake of bronze.
Perseverance brings good fortune.
If one lets it take its course, one experiences misfortune.
Even a lean pig has it in him to rage around.

Line 3: There is no skin on his thighs,
And walking comes hard.
If one is mindful of the danger,
No great mistake is made.


The Future

10. Lu - Treading (Conduct)
Above (in front): Ch'ien - The Creative (Heaven)
Below (behind): Tui - The Joyous (Lake)


The Judgement for the Future

Treading. Treading upon the tail of the tiger.
It does not bite the man. Success.


The Image for the Future

Heaven above, the lake below:
The image of Treading.
Thus the superior man discriminates between high and low,
And thereby fortifies the thinking of the people.
