- "Kwei Mei indicates that (under the conditions which it denotes) "
- "action will be evil, and in no wise advantageous. "

- "1. The first line, undivided, shows the younger sister married off in "
- "a position ancillary to the real wife. (It suggests the idea of) a "
- "person lame on one leg who manages to tramp along. Going forward "
- "will be fortunate. "
- " "
- "2. The second line, undivided, shows her blind of one eye, and yet "
- "able to see. There will be advantage in her maintaining the firm "
- "correctness of a solitary widow. "
- " "
- "3. The third line, divided, shows the younger sister who was to be "
- "married off in a mean position. She returns and accepts the "
- "ancillary position. "
- " "
- "4. The fourth line, undivided, shows the younger sister who is to be "
- "married off protracting the time. She may be late in being married, "
- "but the time will come. "
- " "
- "5. The fifth line, divided, reminds us of the marrying of the younger "
- "sister of (king) Ti-yi, when the sleeves of her the princess were not "
- "equal to those of the (still) younger sister who accompanied her in "
- "an inferior capacity. (The case suggests the thought of) the moon "
- "almost full. There will be good fortune. "
- " "
- "6. The sixth line, divided, shows the young lady bearing the basket, "
- "but without anything in it and the gentleman slaughtering the sheep, "
- "but without blood flowing from it. There will be no advantage in any "
- "way. "

- " Thunder sounds over the lake and the surface waters are stirred into"
- " following ripples. The wise person does not allow his relationships with"
- " others to drift along. He always keeps the ultimate aim of a true and"
- " lasting relationship in mind and thus avoids unnecessary upsets caused"
- " by minor differences of opinion."
