Thun indicates successful progress (in its circumstances). To a small extent it will (still) be advantageous to be firm and correct.

1 The first line, divided, shows a retiring tail. The position is perilous. No movement in any direction should be made.

2 The second line, divided, shows its subject holding (his purpose) fast as if by a (thong made from the) hide of a yellow ox, which cannot be broken.

3 The third line, undivided, shows one retiring but bound,--to his distress and peril. (If he were to deal with his binders as in) nourishing a servant or dependant, it would be fortunate for him.

4 The fourth line, undivided, shows its subject retiring notwithstanding his likings. In a superior man this will lead to good fortune; a small man cannot attain to this.

5 The fifth line, undivided, shows its subject retiring in an admirable way. With firm correctness there will be good fortune.

6 The sixth line, undivided, shows its subject retiring in a noble way. It will be advantageous in every respect.
