Line 06

Top Nine

Advancing with the horns. Use this only to attack the city. There is danger, but Good fortune. No blame. Persevering brings humiliation.

Commentary

Using it only to attack the city means the way is not yet bright.

Line 05

Six in the Fifth

Regret vanishes. Do not worry about loss or gain. Going on brings Good fortune. Nothing is unfavorable.

Commentary

Do not worry about loss or gain; going on brings rejoicing.

Line 04

Nine in the Fourth

Advancing like a field mouse. Perseverance here is dangerous.

Commentary

The danger in persevering like a field mouse lies in being out of place.

Line 03

Six in the Third

When all assent, regret vanishes.

Commentary

When all assent, the will rises upward.

Line 02

Six in the Second

Advancing with sorrow. Perseverance brings Good fortune. One receives a great blessing from the queen mother.

Commentary

Receiving this great blessing comes through centered correctness.

Line 01

Initial Six

Advancing but driven back. Perseverance brings Good fortune. If trust is lacking, remain generous. No blame.

Commentary

Advancing but driven back means walking the right path alone. Remaining generous brings no blame because the mandate has not yet been received.
