Ancient Comments on the Image

— Duke of Zhou

Wind moves across heaven, minimal gathering
the exemplary person accordingly beautifies patterned virtue.

Judgment

— King Wen of Zhou

Minimal Gathering: flourishing. Dense clouds but no rain, from my western outskirts.

Moving Lines

— Duke of Zhou

1
Return by one's own way; what could be its fault? Auspicious.
2
牽復,吉。
Leading back, auspicious.
3
The carriage loses its spokes; husband and wife turn their eyes against each other.
4
Having trustworthy sincerity, blood departs, apprehension emerges, no blame.
5
Having trustworthy sincerity, clinging together; enriching with those nearby.
6
Already rained, already settled; upholding the capacity to carry virtue. The wife's steadfastness is dangerous. Moon almost full. Exemplary person advancing is misfortune.

Ancient Comments on the Moving Lines

— Confucius

1
Return by one's own way—its fittingness is auspicious.
2
Leading back is in the center; also not losing oneself.
3
Husband and wife turn their eyes against each other; they cannot set the house right.
4
Having trustworthy sincerity. Apprehension emerges. The one above joins in intention.
5
Having trustworthy sincerity, clinging together; not solely rich.
6
Already rained, already settled: it is virtue accumulated and carried. Exemplary person advancing is misfortune: there is something suspected.

Ancient Comments on the Judgment

— Confucius

Minimal Gathering: the yielding obtains its position and above and below respond to it; this is called minimal gathering. Vigorous yet entering, firmness in the center and the intention proceeds, then there is flourishing. Dense clouds but no rain: still advancing. From my western outskirts: implementation not yet carried out.
