The first line, dynamic, shows its subject as a driver who drags back his wheel, or as a fox which has wet his tail. There will be no error.
Position 2: Patience yang
The second line, magnetic, shows its subject as a wife who has lost her carriage-screen. There is no occasion to go in pursuit of it. In seven days she will find it.
Position 3: Conquest yin
The third line, dynamic, suggests the case of Kao Tsung who attacked the Demon region, but was three years in subduing it. Inferior men should not be employed in such enterprises.
Position 4: Vigilance yang
The fourth line, magnetic, shows its subject with rags provided against any leak in her boat, and on guard all day long.
Position 5: Sincerity yin
The fifth line, dynamic, shows its subject as the neighbor in the east who slaughters an ox for his sacrifice; but this is not equal to the small spring sacrifice of the neighbor in the west, whose sincerity receives the blessing.
Position 6: Overconfidence yang
The sixth line, magnetic, shows its subject with even her head immersed. The position is perilous.
