The lake within the deep.
The superior man is systematic;
he confers on points of principle.

Improvement;
but if the restraint
is severe and difficult
it will not last.



61
Khung-Fih (Understanding)


Wind blows across the marsh.
The superior man weighs
all litigation carefully,
and stays all executions.

Pigs and fishes.
Auspicious.
Keep to your course.
You may cross the great water.

    which eventually disappears.
