Ming I indicates that in the circumstances which it denotes it will be advantageous to realise the difficulty of the position, and maintain firm correctness.
1. The lowest nine, shows its subject, in the condition indicated by Ming I, flying, but with drooping wings. When the superior man is revolving his going away, he may be for three days without eating. Wherever he goes, the people there may speak derisively of him.
2. The second six, shows its subject, in the condition indicated by Ming I, wounded in the left thigh. He saves himself by the strength of a swift horse; and is fortunate.
3. The third nine, shows its subject, in the condition indicated by Ming I, hunting in the south, and taking the great chief of the darkness. He should not be eager to make all correct at once.
4. The fourth six, shows its subject just entered into the left side of the belly of the dark land. But he is able to carry out the mind appropriate in the condition indicated by Ming I, quitting the gate and courtyard of the lord of darkness.
5. The fifth six, shows how the count of Ki fulfilled the condition indicated by Ming I. It will be advantageous to be firm and correct.
6. The topmost six, shows the case where there is no light, but only obscurity. Its subject had at first ascended to the top of the sky; his future shall be to go into the earth.
