The Six Moving Lines
- Six at the beginningIt 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.初六：系于金柅，贞吉。有攸往，见凶。羸豕蹢躅。
- Nine in the second placeThere is a fish in the tank; it does not further one to approach them.九二：包有鱼，无咎，不利宾。
- Nine in the third placeThere is no skin on his thighs, and walking comes hard; if a man lets himself be led, he remains without blame.九三：臀无肤，其行次且，厉，无大咎。
- Nine in the fourth placeNo fish in the tank; this leads to misfortune.九四：包无鱼，起凶。
- Nine in the fifth placeA melon covered with willow branches; hidden lines; it drops down to one from heaven.九五：以杞包瓜，含章，有陨自天。
- Nine at the topHe comes to meet with his horns; humiliation, no blame.上九：姤其角，吝，无咎。
