Not Yet Crossing the River

Ancient Comments on the Image

— Duke of Zhou

Fire is above water: Not yet crossing.
The superior person thereby carefully distinguishes things and houses them in their proper place.

Judgment

— King Wen of Zhou

Not yet crossing: success. The small fox almost crosses, wets its tail; nothing is advantageous.

Moving Lines

— Duke of Zhou

1
Wets its tail, regret.
2
Drags its wheels, perseverance is auspicious.
3
Not yet crossing; advancing is ominous, advantageous to cross the great river.
4
Perseverance is auspicious, regret vanishes. The Arousing employs force to attack the Ghostly Region; after three years there are rewards from the great state.
5
Perseverance is auspicious, no regret. The light of the superior person; having trust, auspicious.
6
Having trust in drinking wine, no blame; wetting the head, having trust but losing what is right.

Ancient Comments on the Moving Lines

— Confucius

1
Wetting the tail; also not knowing the limit.
2
Second nine's perseverance is auspicious; it is centered and acts correctly.
3
Not yet crossing and advancing is ominous; the position is not appropriate.
4
Perseverance auspicious, regret vanishes; the will is carried out.
5
The light of the superior person; its radiance is auspicious.
6
Drinking wine and wetting the head; also not knowing moderation.

Ancient Comments on the Judgment

— Confucius

Not yet crossing, success; the yielding obtains the center. The small fox almost crosses, but has not yet emerged from the center. Wetting its tail, nothing is advantageous; it does not continue to the end. Although not in the appropriate position, strong and yielding correspond.
