     The Judgement

          Progress. The powerful prince
          Is honored with horses in large numbers.
          In a single day he is granted audience three times.

     The Image

          The sun rises over the earth:
          The image of Progress.
          Thus the superior man himself
          Brightens his bright virtue.

          Progressing, but turned back.

          No mistake.

          Six in the second place means:
          Progressing, but in sorrow.
          Perseverance brings good fortune.

          All are in accord. Remorse disappears.

          Nine in the fourth place means:
          Progress like a hamster.
          Perseverance brings danger.

     ()   Six in the fifth place means:
          Remorse disappears.

          Undertakings bring good fortune.
          Everything serves to further.

          Nine at the top means:
          Making progress with the horns is permissible
          Only for the purpose of punishing one's own city.

          No blame.
          Perseverance brings humiliation.
