The Hexagrams
17 Sui Following
The Judgment
Following has supreme success.
Perseverance furthers. No blame.
The Image
Thunder in the middle of the lake:
The image of Following.
Thus the superior man at nightfall
Goes indoors for rest and recuperation.
Nine at the beginning means:
* The standard is changing.
Perseverance brings good fortune.
To go out of the door in company
Produces deeds.
Six in second place means:
If one clings to the little boy,
One loses the strong man.
Six in third place means:
If one clings to the strong man,
One loses the little boy.
Through following one finds what one seeks.
It furthers one to remain persevering.
Nine in fourth place means:
Following creates success.
Perseverance brings misfortune.
To go one's way with sincerity brings clarity.
How could there be blame in this?
Nine in fifth place means:
* Sincere in the good. Good fortune.
Six at the top means:
He meets with firm allegiance
And is still further bound.
The king introduces him
To the Western Mountain.
