20. Kuan / Contemplation (View)
above Sun The Gentle, Wind
below K'un The Receptive, Earth
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
Change at the beginning means:
Boylike contemplation.
For an inferior man, no blame.
For a superior man, humiliation.
Change in the second place means:
Contemplation through the crack of the door.
Furthering for the perseverance of a woman.
Change in the third place means:
Contemplation of my life
Decides the choice
Between advance and retreat.
Change in the fourth place means:
Contemplation of the light of the kingdom.
It furthers one to exert influence as the guest of a king.
Change in the fifth place means:
Contemplation of my life.
The superior man is without blame.
Change at the top means:
Contemplation of his life.
The superior man is without blame.
