Peace — the small departs, the great approaches; good fortune and success.
The Six Moving Lines
Nine at the beginningWhen ribbon grass is pulled up, the sod comes with it; each according to kind; undertaking brings good fortune.初九:拔茅茹,以其汇,征吉。
Nine in the second placeBearing with the uncultured in gentleness, fording the river with resolution; not neglecting what is distant; not regarding one's companions.九二:包荒,用冯河,不遐遗。朋亡,得尚于中行。
Nine in the third placeNo plain not followed by a slope; no going not followed by a return; perseverance in danger brings good fortune.九三:无平不陂,无往不复,艰贞无咎。勿恤其孚,于食有福。
Six in the fourth placeHe flutters down, not boasting of his wealth, together with his neighbor; frank and sincere.六四:翩翩,不富以其邻,不戒以孚。
Six in the fifth placeThe sovereign I gives his daughter in marriage; this brings blessing and supreme good fortune.六五:帝乙归妹,以祉元吉。
Six at the topThe wall falls back into the moat; use no army now; make your commands known within your own town; perseverance brings humiliation.上六:城复于隍,勿用师。自邑告命,贞吝。
