The Judgment

Splitting Apart. It does not further one
To go anywhere.

The Image

The mountain rests on the earth:
The image of Splitting Apart.
Thus those above can ensure their position
Only by giving generously to those below.

Six at the beginning means:

The leg of the bed is split.
Those who persevere are destroyed.
Misfortune.

Six in second place means:

The bed is split at the edge.
Those who persevere are destroyed.
Misfortune.

Six in third place means:

He splits with them. No blame.

Six in fourth place means:

The bed is split up to the skin.
Misfortune.

Six in fifth place means:

A shoal of fishes. Favor comes through the court ladies.
Everything acts to further.

Nine at the top means:

* There is a large fruit still uneaten.
The superior man receives a carriage.
The house of the inferior man is split apart.
