     The Judgement

          Pushing Upward has supreme success.
          One must see the great man.

          Brings good fortune.

     The Image

          Within the earth, wood grows:
          The image of Pushing Upward.
          Thus the superior man of devoted character
          Heaps up small things
          In order to achieve something high and great.

     The Lines

          Nine in the second place means:
          If one is sincere,
          It furthers one to bring even a small offering.
          No blame.

          The superior man carries things through.

     The Image

          Within the earth, a mountain:
          The image of Modesty.
          Thus the superior man reduces that which is too much,
          And augments that which is too little.
          He weighs things and makes them equal.
