In Lu we have (the symbol of) weakness treading on (that of) strength. (The lower trigram) indicates pleasure and satisfaction, and responds to (the upper) indicating strength. Hence (it is said), ’He treads on the tail of a tiger, which does not bite him; there will be progress and success.’ (The fifth line is) strong, in the centre, and in its correct place. (Its subject) occupies the God-(given) position, and falls into no distress or failure; - (his) action will be brilliant.

The third SIX, divided, shows a one-eyed man (who thinks he) can see; a lame man (who thinks he) can walk well; one who treads on the tail of a tiger and is bitten. (All this indicates) ill fortune. We have a (mere) bravo acting the part of a great ruler.

’A one-eyed man (who thinks that he) can see:’ - he is not fit to see clearly. ’A lame man (who thinks that he can) tread well:’ - one cannot walk along with him. ’The ill fortune of being bitten’ arises from the place not being the proper one for him. ’A (mere) bravo acting the part of a great ruler:’ - this is owing to his aims being (too) violent.

The sixth NINE, undivided, tells us to look at (the whole course) that is trodden, and examine the presage which that gives. If it be complete and without failure, there will be great good fortune.
