The Hexagrams
61 Chung Fu Inner Truth
The Judgment
Inner Truth. Pigs and fishes.
Good fortune.
It furthers one to cross the great water.
Perseverance furthers.
The Image
Wind over lake: the image of Inner Truth.
Thus the superior man discusses criminal cases
In order to delay executions.
Nine at the beginning means:
Being prepared brings good fortune.
If there are secret designs, it is disquieting.
Nine in second place means:
A crane calling in the shade.
Its young answers it.
I have a good goblet.
I will share it with you.
Six in third place means:
He finds a comrade.
Now he beats the drum, now he stops.
Now he sobs, now he sings.
Six in fourth place means:
The moon nearly at the full.
The team horse goes astray.
No blame.
Nine in fifth place means:
* He possesses truth, which links together.
No blame.
Nine at the top means:
Cockcrow penetrating to heaven.
Perseverance brings misfortune.
