The Image Thunder in heaven above: The image of the Power of the Great. Thus the superior man does not tread upon paths That do not accord with established order.
Nine at the bottom means: Power in the toes. Continuing brings misfortune. This is certainly true. Nine in the second place means: Perseverance brings good fortune. Nine in the third place means: The inferior man works through power. The superior man does not act thus. To continue is dangerous. A goat butts against a hedge And gets its horns entangled. () Nine in the fourth place means: Perseverance brings good fortune. Remorse disappears. The hedge opens; there is no entanglement. Power depends upon the axle of a big cart. Six in the fifth place means: Loses the goat with ease. No remorse. Six at the top means: A goat butts against a hedge. It cannot go backward, it cannot go forward. Nothing serves to further. If one notes the difficulty, this brings good fortune.
