彖傳 · Tuan Zhuan

Judgment Commentary

Abundance means greatness. Brightness joined to movement is why there is Abundance. The king comes to it because he honors greatness. Do not worry. It is fitting to stand at midday, for it is fitting to shine on all under Heaven. When the sun reaches midday, it declines. When the moon is full, it is eclipsed. Heaven and Earth fill and empty, waxing and waning with the time. How much more so for human beings, and how much more so for ghosts and spirits?

Thunder and lightning both arrive: Abundance. The Noble One decides lawsuits and carries out punishments.
六爻 · Six Lines

Lines

Line 06
Top Six
The house is made full, and the home is screened off. Peer through the door: silence, no one there. For three years, no one is seen. Misfortune.
Commentary
A house made full means soaring at Heaven's edge. Peering through the door into silence and no one there means hiding oneself away.
Line 05
Six in the Fifth
Radiance comes. There is celebration and praise. Good fortune.
Commentary
The Good fortune of Six in the Fifth means there is celebration.
Line 04
Nine in the Fourth
The screen is so full that at midday one sees the Dipper. Meeting the equal lord. Good fortune.
Commentary
The screen being so full means the place is not appropriate. Seeing the Dipper at midday means dimness lacks brightness. Meeting the equal lord means Good fortune in going.
Line 03
Nine in the Third
The canopy is so full that at midday one sees tiny stars. The right forearm is broken. No blame.
Commentary
The canopy being so full means great affairs cannot be done. The broken right forearm means that in the end it cannot be used.
Line 02
Six in the Second
The screen is so full that at midday one sees the Dipper. Going brings suspicion and illness. If there is sincerity and it is brought forth, Good fortune.
Commentary
If there is sincerity and it is brought forth, trust gives force to the intention.
Line 01
Initial Nine
Meeting the matching lord. Even for ten days, No blame. Going on brings esteem.
Commentary
Even for ten days, No blame. To go beyond ten days is disaster.
