The judgment
The crossing is not yet complete. The little fox almost crosses, then wets its tail: nothing furthers if one goes ahead without caution.
The image
Fire over water. So the wise person carefully distinguishes things, so that each finds its place.
The six lines
- Six at the beginningWetting the tail: humiliation.
- Nine in the second placeBraking the wheels: perseverance brings good fortune.
- Six in the third placeBefore completion, attacking brings misfortune. It furthers one to cross the great water.
- Nine in the fourth placePerseverance brings good fortune, remorse disappears. Like one who fights for three years against the Devil's Country and is rewarded.
- Six in the fifth placePerseverance brings good fortune, no remorse. The light of the wise person is sincere: good fortune.
- Nine at the topDrinking wine in confidence: no blame. But whoever wets their head loses the truth.
Commentary
