63. Chi Chi / After Completion

 
 above K'an The Abysmal, Water
 
 
 below Li The Clinging, Flame
 

The Judgement

After Completion. Success in small matters.
Perseverance furthers.
At the beginning good fortune,
At the end disorder.

The Image

Water over fire: the image of the condition
In After Completion.
Thus the superior man
Takes thoughts of misfortune
And arms himself against it in advance.

The Lines

Nine at the beginning means:
He brakes his wheels.
He gets his tail in the water.
No blame.

Nine in the third place means:
The Illustrious Ancestor
Disciplines the Devil's Country.
After three years he conquers it.
Inferior people must not be employed.

Six in the fourth place means:
The finest clothes turn to rags.
Be careful all day long.

 below K'un The Receptive, Earth
 

The Judgement

Gathering Together. Success.
The king approaches his temple.
It furthers one to see the great man.
This brings success. Perseverance furthers.
To bring great offerings creates good fortune.
It furthers one to undertake something.

The Image

Over the earth, the lake:
The image of Gathering Together.
Thus the superior man renews his weapons
In order to meet the unforeseen.
