26. Ta Ch'u / The Taming Power of the Great

The Judgement
The Taming Power of the Great.
Perseverance furthers.
Not eating at home brings good fortune.
It furthers one to cross the great water.
The Image
Heaven within the mountain:
The image of The Taming Power of the Great.
Thus the superior man acquaints himself
with many sayings of antiquity
And many deeds of the past,
In order to strengthen his character thereby.SR-71

The Judgement
Contemplation. The ablution has been made,
But not yet the offering.
Full of trust they look up to him.
The Image
The wind blows over the earth:
The image of Contemplation.
Thus the kings of old visited
the regions of the world,
Contemplated the people,
And gave them instruction.
The Lines
Six in the second place means:
Contemplation through the crack of the door.
Furthering for the perseverance of a woman.
() Nine in the fifth place means:
Contemplation of my life.
The superior man is without blame.
() Nine at the top means:
Contemplation of his life.
The superior man is without blame.

The Judgement
The Army. The army needs perseverance
And a strong man.
Good fortune without blame.
The Image
In the middle of the earth is water:
The image of The Army.
Thus the superior man increases his masses
By generosity toward the people.
