53. Chien / Development (Gradual Progress)
above Sun The Gentle, Wind
below Kên Keeping Still, Mountain
The Judgement
Development. The maiden
Is given in marriage.
Good fortune.
Perseverance furthers.
The Image
On the mountain, a tree:
The image of Development.
Thus the superior man abides in dignity and virtue,
In order to improve the mores.
The Lines
Nine in the third place means:
The wild goose gradually draws near the plateau.
The man goes forth and does not return.
The woman carries a child but does not bring it forth.
Misfortune.
It furthers one to fight off robbers.
20. Kuan / Contemplation (View)
above Sun The Gentle, Wind
below K'un The Receptive, Earth
The Judgement
Contemplation. The ablution has been made,
But not yet the offering.
Full of trust they look up to him.
The Image
The wind blows over the earth:
The image of Contemplation.
Thus the kings of old visited the regions of the world,
Contemplated the people,
And gave them instruction.
