Ancient Comments on the Image

— Duke of Zhou

Water above the marsh: Joining Segments
the exemplary person accordingly establishes numerical standards and evaluates virtue-conduct.

Judgment

Joining Segments: coming through. Bitter segments cannot be steadfast.

Moving Lines

— Duke of Zhou

1
Not going out of the door-courtyard, no blame.
2
Not going out of the gate-courtyard, ominous.
3
Not limiting thus, then sighing thus, no blame.
4
安節,亨。
Settled segments, coming through.
5
Sweet segments, auspicious; proceeding has esteem.
6
Bitter segments, steadfastness is ominous, regret disappears.

Ancient Comments on the Moving Lines

— Confucius

1
Not going out of the door-courtyard is knowing openness and blockage.
2
Not going out of the gate-courtyard is missing the extreme of timing.
3
The sighing of not limiting—who then would blame?
4
The coming through of settled segments is receiving the way from above.
5
The auspiciousness of sweet segments is dwelling in the center position.
6
Bitter segments, steadfastness is ominous; their way is exhausted.

Ancient Comments on the Judgment

— Confucius

Joining Segments, coming through; firm and yielding are divided, and the firm obtains the center. Bitter segments cannot be steadfast; their way is exhausted. Using delight to move through danger, occupying the fitting position to segment, central-correct so as to pass through. Heaven and Earth segment and the four seasons are formed; segmenting by means of standards, not harming wealth, not impairing the people.
