기제(旣濟) — 물 위에 불. 물과 불이 교차하여 조리가 완성되었다. 일이 이루어진 후에는 더욱 신중해야 한다. 시작이 좋다고 끝이 좋은 것은 아니다.
효별 해설
초효：曳其轮，濡其尾，无咎。 Dragging its wheels, wetting its tail — no harm. When things are just completed, do not get carried away.
이효：妇丧其茀，勿逐，七日得。 The woman loses her carriage curtain — do not search; in seven days it returns. After success, small losses are temporary.
삼효：高宗伐鬼方，三年克之。小人勿用。 King Gao Zong campaigned against the Gui Fang — three years to conquer. Petty people must not be entrusted. Success is hard-won.
사효：繻有衣袽，终日戒。 Padded clothes are already worn — all day on alert. After success, even greater vigilance is needed.
오효：东邻杀牛，不如西邻之禴祭，实受其福。 The eastern neighbor slaughters oxen for sacrifice — not as good as the western neighbor's simple offering; sincere blessings are more real. Heartfelt intent outweighs ceremony.
상효：濡其首，厉。 Wetting its head — danger. After success, complacency drowns you.
