The Hexagrams
50 Ting The Caldron
The Judgment
The Caldron. Supreme good fortune.
Success.
The Image
Fire over wood:
The image of the Caldron.
Thus the superior man consolidates his fate
By making his position correct.
Six at the beginning means:
A fItingfR with legs upturned.
Furthers removal of stagnating stuff.
One takes a concubine for the sake of her son.
No blame.
Nine in second place means:
There is food in the fItingfR.
My comrades are envious,
But they cannot harm me.
Good fortune.
Nine in third place means:
The handle of the fItingfR is altered.
One is impeded in his way of life.
The fat of the pheasant is not eaten.
Once rain falls, remorse is spent.
Good fortune comes in the end.
Nine in fourth place means:
The legs of the fItingfR are broken.
The prince's meal is spilled
And his person is soiled.
Misfortune.
Six in fifth place means:
* The fItingfR has yellow handles, golden carrying rings.
Perseverance furthers.
Nine at the top means:
* The fItingfR has rings of jade.
Great good fortune.
Nothing that would not act to further.
