Song (Le Conflit) — Ciel sur Eau. Le ciel et leau se déplacent en sens opposés. Le conflit nest pas souhaitable ; réglez-le si possible.
Ligne par ligne
Trait 1:不永所事,小有言,终吉。 Do not prolong disputes — minor arguments, but ultimately auspicious. Favorable to meet great people; not favorable for major ventures. Cut losses early.
Trait 2:不克讼,归而逋,其邑人三百户,无眚。 Losing the case, returning home — the three hundred households of the village are spared. Yield when you cannot win; self-preservation first.
Trait 3:食旧德,贞厉终吉。或从王事,无成。 Relying on ancestral virtue — danger but final good fortune. Serving the ruler yields no personal achievement. Hold onto what you have.
Trait 4:不克讼,复即命,渝安贞,吉。 Losing and returning home — accept fate and stay upright for good fortune. Let go and focus on your own path.
Trait 5:讼元吉。 Going to court — supremely auspicious. With justice on your side, you prevail.
Trait 6:或锡之鞶带,终朝三褫之。 The ruler awards finery, but strips it away three times in a day. What is given can be taken; stay humble.
