          ---- ----

     The Judgement

          The Gentle. Success through what is small.
          It furthers one to have somewhere to go.
          It furthers one to see the great man.

     The Image

          Winds following one upon the other:
          The image of the Gently Penetrating.
          Thus the superior man
          Spreads his commands abroad
          And carries out his undertakings.

     The Lines

          Nine in the third place means:
          Repeated penetration. Humiliation.


     59.  Huan / Dispersion [Dissolution]

          ----------     above     Sun    The Gentle, Wind

          ---- ----
          ----------     below     K'an   The Abysmal, Water
          ---- ----

     The Judgement

          Dispersion. Success.
          The king approaches his temple.
          It furthers one to cross the great water.
          Perseverance furthers.

     The Image

          The wind drives over the water:
          The image of Dispersion.
          Thus the kings of old sacrificed to the Lord
          And built temples.
