Changing Lines
1. Bound in yellow cowhide.
2. One may create change when the time is ripe. Proceeding is beneficial and brings no blame.
3. Setting forth is inauspicious and persisting in this course brings danger. When talk of change has been raised three times, one may go ahead and be heeded.
4. Remorse ends and men heed him. Changing the government bodes well.
5. The great man changes like a tiger. He wins the spontaneous support of the people immediately.
6. The superior man changes like a leopard, the petty change their outward appearance. Starting bodes ill, but standing firm brings good results.
