Plain text of LXI. The Kung Fu Hexagram
Kung Fu (moves even) pigs and fish, and leads to good fortune. There will be advantage in crossing the great stream. There will be advantage in being firm and correct.
1 The first line, undivided, shows its subject resting (in himself). There will be good fortune. If he sought to any other, he would not find rest.
2 The second line, undivided, shows its subject (like) the crane crying out in her hidden retirement, and her young ones responding to her. (It is as if it were said), 'I have a cup of good drink,' (and the response were), 'I will partake of it with you.'
3 The third line, divided, shows its subject having met with his mate. Now he beats his drum, and now he leaves off. Now he weeps, and now he sings.
4 The fourth line, divided, shows its subject (like) the moon nearly full, and (like) a horse (in a chariot) whose fellow disappears. There will be no error.
5 The fifth line, undivided, shows its subject perfectly sincere, and linking (others) to him in closest union. There will be no error.
6 The topmost line, undivided, shows its subject in chanticleer (trying to) mount to heaven. Even with firm correctness there will be evil.
