The Six Moving Lines
Six at the beginningIf you are sincere but not to the end, there will sometimes be disorder, sometimes gathering; if you call out, then after one grasp of the hand you can laugh again; do not worry; going is without blame.初六：有孚不终，乃乱乃萃，若号，一握为笑，勿恤，往无咎。
Six in the second placeLetting oneself be drawn; good fortune, no blame; if one is sincere, it furthers one to bring even a small offering.六二：引吉，无咎，孚乃利用禴。
Six in the third placeGathering together; sighing; nothing that would further; going is without blame; slight humiliation.六三：萃如嗟如，无攸利。往无咎，小吝。
Nine in the fourth placeGreat good fortune, no blame.九四：大吉，无咎。
Nine in the fifth placeIf one occupies the throne, no blame; if not, none has confidence; one should be persevering and then remorse disappears.九五：萃有位，无咎。匪孚，元永贞，悔亡。
Six at the topLamenting and sighing, floods of tears; no blame.上六：赍咨涕洟，无咎。
