(Looking at) Jing, (we think of) how (the site of) a town may be changed, while (the fashion of) its wells undergoes no change. (The water of a well) never disappears and never receives (any great) increase, and those who come and those who go can draw and enjoy the benefit. If (the drawing) have nearly been accomplished, but, before the rope has quite reached the water, the bucket is broken, this is evil.

(We have the symbol of) wood in the water and the raising of the water; which (gives us the idea of) a well. A well supplies nourishment and is not (itself) exhausted. ’The site of a town may be changed, while the fashion of its wells undergoes no change:’ - this is indicated by the central position of the strong lines (in the second and fifth places). ’The drawing is nearly accomplished, but the rope has not yet reached the water of the well:’ - its service has not yet been accomplished. ’The bucket is broken:’ - it is this that occasions evil.

The third NINE, undivided, shows a well, which has been cleared out, but is not used. Our hearts are sorry for this, for the water might be drawn out and used. If the king were (only) intelligent, both he and we might receive the benefit of it.
