The Six Moving Lines
- Nine at the beginningRemorse disappears; if you lose your horse, do not run after it; it will come back of its own accord; when you see evil people, guard against mistakes.初九:悔亡,丧马勿逐,自复。见恶人,无咎。
- Nine in the second placeOne meets his lord in a narrow street; no blame.九二:遇主于巷,无咎。
- Six in the third placeOne sees the wagon dragged back, the oxen pulled back, the man shorn and branded; the beginning and end are different.六三:见舆曳,其牛掣,其人天且劓,无初有终。
- Nine in the fourth placeIsolated through opposition; one meets a like-minded man; intercourse and trust; danger but no blame.九四:睽孤,遇元夫,交孚,厉无咎。
- Six in the fifth placeRemorse disappears; the companion bites his way through the wrappings; he meets his lord; no blame.六五:悔亡,厥宗噬肤,往何咎。
- Nine at the topIsolated through opposition; he sees his companion as a pig covered with dirt, as a wagon full of devils; he first strings his bow, then unstrings it; not a robber, a suitor; to go brings rain and good fortune.上九:睽孤,见豕负涂,载鬼一车,先张之弧,后说之弧,匪寇婚媾。往遇雨则吉。
