Line-by-Line
Line 1：履霜，坚冰至。 Treading on frost — solid ice will soon come. See the whole from a small sign. Observe carefully at the start.
Line 2：直方大，不习无不利。 Straight, square, and great — even without deliberate learning, nothing is unfavorable. Keep virtue pure and follow nature.
Line 3：含章可贞，或从王事，无成有终。 Conceal your talents and stay upright. Assist the leader without claiming credit; do solid work from the middle.
Line 4：括囊，无咎无誉。 Tie up the sack — no harm, no praise. Guard your words, hide your brilliance, and avoid controversy.
Line 5：黄裳，元吉。 Wearing a yellow lower garment — supremely auspicious. Yellow is central, the skirt humble; greatness through modesty.
Line 6：龙战于野，其血玄黄。 Dragons clash in the wild — blue-yellow blood flows. Yin peaks, Yang rises; extremes reverse, fierce conflict is imminent.
