     The Judgement

          Treading. Treading upon the tail of the tiger.
          It does not bite the man. Success.

     The Image

          Heaven above, the lake below:
          The image of Treading.
          Thus the superior man discriminates between high and low,
          And thereby fortifies the thinking of the people.

     The Lines

     ()   Nine in the fifth place means:
          Resolute conduct.
          Perseverance with awareness of danger.

          ----------     below     Tui    The Joyous, Lake
          ----------

     The Judgement

          Opposition. In small matters, good fortune.

     The Image

          Above, fire; below, the lake:
          The image of Opposition.
          Thus amid all fellowship
          The superior man retains his individuality.
