Fellowship in the open brings success. It furthers to cross the great water. Perseverance of the superior person furthers.

Fellowship with others at the gate. No blame. Open and visible alliance.

Fellowship with others in the clan. Humiliation from narrow partisanship.

One hides weapons in the thicket and climbs the high hill. For three years one does not rise.

Yang

One climbs the wall but cannot attack. Good fortune. Return to reason.

Those in fellowship first weep and lament, then laugh. Great armies meet and prevail.

Yang
