The Judgment
Great Exceeding — the ridgepole sags; it furthers to have somewhere to go.
The Six Moving Lines

- Nine in the second placeA dry poplar sprouts at the root; an older man takes a young wife; everything furthers.九二：枯杨生稊，老夫得其女妻，无不利。
- Nine in the third placeThe ridgepole sags to the breaking point; misfortune.九三：栋桡，凶。
- Nine in the fourth placeThe ridgepole is braced; good fortune; if there are ulterior motives, humiliation.九四：栋隆，吉。有它吝。
- Nine in the fifth placeA withered poplar puts forth flowers; an older woman takes a young husband; no blame, no praise.九五：枯杨生华，老妇得其士夫，无咎无誉。
