The Hexagrams
20 Kuan Contemplation (View)
The Judgment
Contemplation. The ablution has been made,
But not yet the offering.
Full of trust they look up to him.
The Image
The wind blows over the earth:
The image of Contemplation.
Thus the kings of old visited the regions of the world,
Contemplated the people,
And gave them instruction.
Six at the beginning means:
Boylike contemplation.
For an inferior man, no blame.
For a superior man, humiliation.
Six in second place means:
Contemplation through the crack of the door.
Furthering for the perseverance of a woman.
Six in third place means:
Contemplation of my life
Decides the choice
Between advance and retreat.
Six in fourth place means:
Contemplation of the light of the kingdom.
It furthers one to exert influence as the guest of a king.
Nine in fifth place means:
* Contemplation of my life.
The superior man is without blame.
Nine at the top means:
* Contemplation of his life.
The superior man is without blame.
