Judgment

Grace. Success.

Fire below the mountain: the image of GRACE. Thus the superior man attends to ordinary affairs but dares not decide lawsuits.

Nine at start

Adorn toes - walk.

Adorning the toes; abandoning the carriage and walking—valuing substance over form.

Adorn beard - no blame.

Adorning the beard—paying attention to appearance but not neglecting the essential.

Nine third

Graceful and moist - persevere.

Graceful and brilliant like water's moistening; perseverance brings good fortune.

Six fourth

Graceful yet simple - white horse.

Plain and white; horses come galloping, not as bandits but as suitors.

Six fifth

Grace in garden - small gift, final good.

Adorning in the hills and gardens; the bundle of silk is meager, seemingly shabby, but ultimately good fortune.

Nine above

Simple grace - no blame.

Adorning with white; returning to simplicity, no blame—the highest grace is natural simplicity.

Grace. Success.
