Whitewater

— King Wen of Zhou

䷜

Ancient Comments on the Image

— Duke of Zhou

Water repeatedly arrives, repeated Whitewater
the exemplary person accordingly makes constant their virtue-conduct, habituates the teaching of affairs.

Judgment

— King Wen of Zhou

Repeated Whitewater: there is trust; only the heart comes through. Conduct is valued.

Moving Lines

— Duke of Zhou

1
Repeated Whitewater, entering into pit-crevices, disastrous.
2
Whitewater has danger; seeking the small, one obtains.
3
Coming to this is Whitewater upon Whitewater; perilous and pillowing, entering into pit-crevices, do not act.
4
A jug of wine, two bowls, using earthenware, delivering the agreement through the window, ultimately no blame.
5
Whitewater does not overflow; respectfully already level, no blame.
6
Bound by means of leash and noose, placed in a thicket of thorns; for three years not getting free, disastrous.

Ancient Comments on the Moving Lines

— Confucius

1
Repeated Whitewater enters the pit: losing the Way is disastrous.
2
Seeking the small, one obtains: not yet emerged from the center.
3
Coming to this is Whitewater upon Whitewater; ultimately there is no accomplishment.
4
A jug of wine, two bowls: firm and yielding aid each other.
5
Whitewater does not overflow: the center is not yet great.
6
Top Six loses the Way; the disaster is for three years.

Ancient Comments on the Judgment

— Confucius

Repeated Whitewater is repeated danger. Water flows and does not overflow; moving through danger without losing its trust. "Only the heart comes through" is because of the firm center. "Conduct is valued" means going forward has accomplishment. Heavenly dangers cannot be ascended; earthly dangers are mountains, rivers, hills, and mounds. Kings and dukes establish dangers to guard their states—the use of the time of Whitewater is great indeed!
