Line texts

    Pulling up grass, the roots come with it, each with its kind. Going forward brings luck. Act together with allies.
  2. 九二:包荒,用馮河,不遐遺,朋亡,得尚于中行。
    Bearing with the uncultured, crossing the river on foot, not neglecting the distant, not favouring friends: thus one walks the middle way. Generosity wins support.
  3. 九三:無平不陂,無往不復,艱貞,無咎,勿恤其孚,于食有福。
    No plain without a slope, no going without return. Persevering in hardship, no blame. Do not worry about sincerity; enjoy the good you have. Fortune turns; stay mindful.
  4. 六四:翩翩,不富以其鄰,不戒以孚。
    Fluttering down, not boasting of wealth to neighbours, trusting without guard. Humble, sincere relations.

  6. 上六:城復于隍,勿用師,自邑告命,貞吝。
