Classic commentary

此卦梧桐葉落之象。凡事先凶后吉也。

心中取事。天心從之。營謀用事。盡可施為。

The image: falling plane-tree leaves; bad first, good after. The verdict: what your heart chooses, heaven will follow; in your plans, you may act fully.

The story · The Wind Carries Wang Bo to Prince Teng's Pavilion

The Tang prodigy Wang Bo, travelling to visit his father, moored below Mount Madang and dreamt that the river god would send him a fair wind. He set sail and covered seven hundred li overnight, arriving just in time for the Double Ninth banquet at Prince Teng's Pavilion in Hongdu, where he wrote his immortal Preface.
