The Judgment

Fellowship with Men in the open.
Success.
It furthers one to cross the great water.
The perseverance of the superior man furthers.

The Image

Heaven together with fire:
The image of Fellowship with Men.
Thus the superior man organizes the clans
And makes distinctions between things.

Nine at the beginning means:

Fellowship with men at the gate.
No blame.

Six in second place means:

* Fellowship with men in the clan.
Humiliation.

Nine in third place means:

He hides weapons in the thicket;
He climbs the high hill in front of it.
For three years he does not rise up.

Nine in fourth place means:

He climbs up on his wall; he cannot attack.
Good fortune.

Nine in fifth place means:

* Men bound in fellowship first weep and lament,
But afterward they laugh.
After great struggles they succeed in meeting.

Nine at the top means:

Fellowship with men in the meadow.
No remorse.
