HEX 4 : MENG / INEXPERIENCE
(KEN: Mountain, still | K'AN: Water, dangerous)
Success. I do not seek young folly,
but it seeks me. The first time, I offer guidance. But asking too often is
irreverent, and I say nothing. Advantage in firm correctness. A spring at
the foot of a mountain. The superior one fosters virtue with resolve. [2nd=9] Good fortune to suffer fools. Likewise to take a wife.
The son can support the family. [3rd=6] Do not marry a woman who cannot control
herself when she sees a wealthy one. No advantage.
HEX 52 : KEN / STILLNESS
(KEN: Mountain, still | KEN: Mountain, still)
Back still, unaware of the body. Noticing
no one in the courtyard. No blame. Mountain upon mountain. The superior one
dwells in the present.
