The judgment
You walk on the tiger's tail, and it does not bite. With good manners even a dangerous situation can be crossed.
The image
Heaven above, the lake below. So the wise person distinguishes high and low and gives stability to intentions.
The six lines
- Nine at the beginningTreading simply: go forward, without blame.
- Nine in the second placeWalking a level path. Whoever stays apart and calm finds good fortune.
- Six in the third placeA one-eyed man thinks he can see, a lame man thinks he can walk: he treads on the tiger's tail and is bitten. Don't overrate yourself.
- Nine in the fourth placeYou walk on the tiger's tail with caution and respect: in the end good fortune.
- Nine in the fifth placeTreading resolutely, aware of the danger.
- Nine at the topLook at the road travelled and weigh the signs: if it has been complete, great fortune.
Commentary
You are moving in a delicate environment, perhaps near people more powerful than you. The key is conduct: respect, clarity and good manners protect you. Don't overrate your strength and don't provoke. Whoever knows where they step crosses even risky passages.
