The Lines
Yang

First (Bottom)

Remorse disappears. If you lose your horse, do not run after it; it will come back on its own. When you see evil people, guard yourself against mistakes.

Yang

Second

One meets the lord in a narrow street. No blame.

Yin

Third

One sees the wagon dragged back, the oxen halted. The person's hair and nose cut off. Not a good beginning, but a good end.

Yang

Fourth

Isolated through opposition. One meets a like-minded person. Despite danger, no blame.

Yin

Fifth

Remorse disappears. The companion bites through the wrappings. If one goes to them, how could it be a mistake?

Yang

Sixth (Top)

Isolated through opposition. One sees a pig covered with dirt, a wagon full of devils. First drawing a bow, then laying it aside. Not a robber but a suitor.
