     The Judgement

          Obstruction. The southwest furthers.
          The northeast does not further.
          It furthers one to see the great man.
          Perseverance brings good fortune.

     The Image

          Water on the mountain:
          The image of Obstruction.
          Thus the superior man turns his attention to himself
          And molds his character.

     The Lines

          Nine in the third place means:
          Going leads to obstructions;
          Hence he comes back.

          Six at the top means:
          Going leads to obstructions,
          Coming leads to great good fortune.
          It furthers one to see the great man.


     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.
