The Hexagrams
30 Li The Clinging, Fire
The Judgment
The Clinging. Perseverance furthers.
It brings success.
Care of the cow brings good fortune.
The Image
That which is bright rises twice:
The image of Fire.
Thus the great man, by perpetuating this brightness,
Illumines the four quarters of the world.
Nine at the beginning means:
The footprints run crisscross.
If one is seriously intent, no blame.
Six in second place means:
* Yellow light. Supreme good fortune.
Nine in third place means:
In the light of the setting sun,
Men either beat the pot and sing
Or loudly bewail the approach of old age.
Misfortune.
Nine in fourth place means:
Its coming is sudden;
It flames up, dies down, is thrown away.
Six in fifth place means:
* Tears in floods, sighing and lamenting.
Good fortune.
Nine at the top means:
The king uses him to march forth and chastise.
Then it is best to kill the leaders
And take captive the followers. No blame.
