Under heaven, the wind: the image of Coming to Meet. Thus the prince, in dispensing his commands, issues proclamations to the four quarters of the world.

The six lines
Line 1 (bottom)
It must be checked with a bronze brake. Perseverance brings good fortune. If one lets it take its course, one experiences misfortune. Even a lean pig has within it the strength to rage.
Line 2
There is a fish in the tank. No blame. Not advantageous for guests.
Line 3
There is no skin on his thighs, and walking is difficult. If one is aware of the danger, no great fault is committed.
Line 4
No fish in the tank. This leads to misfortune.
Line 5
A melon covered with willow leaves. Hidden lines. Then it falls from heaven.
Line 6 (top)
He comes to meet with his horns. Humiliation. No blame.
