TING
Ting gives the intimation of great progress and success.
1. The first six, divided, shows the caldron overthrown and its feet turned up. (But) there
will be advantage in its getting rid of what was bad in it. (Or it shows us) the concubine
(whose position is improved) by means of her son. There will be no error.
2. The second NINE, undivided, shows the caldron with the things (to be cooked) in it. (If
its subject can say), 'My enemy dislikes me, but he cannot approach me,' there will be
good fortune.
3. The third NINE, undivided, shows the caldron with (the places of) its ears changed.
The progress (of its subject) is (thus) stopped. The fat flesh of the pheasant (which is in
the caldron) will not be eaten. But the (genial) rain will come, and the grounds for
repentance will disappear. There will be good fortune in the end.
4. The fourth NINE, undivided, shows the caldron with its feet broken; and its contents,
designed for the ruler's use, overturned and spilt. Its subject will be made to blush for
shame. There will be evil.
5. The fifth six, divided, shows the caldron with yellow ears and rings of metal in them.
There will be advantage through being firm and correct.
6. The sixth NINE, undivided, shows the caldron with rings of jade. There will be great
good fortune, and all action taken will be in every way advantageous.

CHEN
Kan gives the intimation of ease and development. When (the time of) movement (which
it indicates) comes, (the subject of the hexagram) will be found looking out with
apprehension, and yet smiling and talking cheerfully. When the movement (like a crash
of thunder) terrifies all within a hundred li, he will be (like the sincere worshipper) who is
not (startled into) letting go his ladle and (cup of) sacrificial spirits.
1. The first NINE, undivided, shows its subject, when the movement approaches, looking
out and around with apprehension, and afterwards smiling and talking cheerfully. There
will be good fortune.
2. The second six, divided, shows its subject, when the movement approaches, in a
position of peril. He judges it better to let go the articles (in his possession), and to ascend
a very lofty height. There is no occasion for him to pursue after (the things he has let go);
in seven days he will find them.
The third six, divided, shows its subject distraught amid the startling movements going
on. If those movements excite him to (right) action, there will be no mistake.
4. The fourth NINE, undivided, shows its subject, amid the startling movements, supinely
sinking (deeper) in the mud.
5. The fifth six, divided, shows its subject going and coming amidst the startling
movements (of the time), and always in peril; but perhaps he will not incur loss, and find
business (which he can accomplish).
6. The topmost six, divided, shows its subject, amidst the startling movements (of the
time), in breathless dismay and looking round him with trembling apprehension. If he
take action, there will be evil. If, while the startling movements have not reached his own
person and his neighborhood, (he were to take precautions), there would be no error,
though his relatives might (still) speak against him.

KEN
When one's resting is like that of the back, and he loses all consciousness of self; when he
walks in his courtyard, and does not see any (of the persons) in it,-there will be no error.
1. The first six, divided, shows its subject keeping his toes at rest. There will be no error;
but it will be advantageous for him to be persistently firm and correct.

cannot help (the subject of the line. above) whom he follows, and is dissatisfied in his
mind.
3. The third NINE, undivided, shows its subject keeping his loins at rest, and separating
the ribs (from the body below). The situation is perilous, and the heart glows with
suppressed excitement.
4. The fourth six, divided, shows its subject keeping his trunk at rest. There will be no
error.
