     44.  Kou / Coming to Meet

          ----------
          ----------     above     Ch'ien The Creative, Heaven
          ----------
          ----------
          ----------     below     Sun    The Gentle, Wind
          ---- ----

     The Judgement

          Coming to Meet. The maiden is powerful.
          One should not marry such a maiden.

     The Image

          Under heaven, wind:
          The image of Coming to Meet.
          Thus does the prince act when disseminating his commands
          And proclaiming them to the four quarters of heaven.

     The Lines

     []   Six at the beginning means:
          It must be checked with a brake of bronze.
          Perseverance brings good fortune.
          If one lets it take its course, one experiences misfortune.
          Even a lean pig has it in him to rage around.

          Nine in the third place means:
          There is no skin on his thighs,
          And walking comes hard.
          If one is mindful of the danger,
          No great mistake is made.


     10.  Lu / Treading [Conduct]

          ----------
          ----------     above     Ch'ien The Creative, Heaven
          ----------
          ---- ----
          ----------     below     Tui    The Joyous, Lake
          ----------

     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.
