The Image
A lake repeated: the image of Tui. The superior man, in accordance with this, encourages the conversation of his friends, and the stimulus of their common practice.
Miscellaneous Signs
Tui shows its scope, but Sun's we do not see.
The Judgement
Tui intimates that under its conditions there will be progress and attainment. It wil be advantageous, however, to be firm and correct.
Commentary
Tui has the meaning of pleased satisfaction. We have the strong lines in the centre, and the weak lines on the edge of the trigrams, indicating that in pleasure, what is most advantageous is maintaining firm correctness. Through this, there will be found an accordance with the will of heaven, and a correspondence with the feelings of men.
When pleasure goes before the people, they forget their toils; when it animates them in encountering difficulties, they forget the risk of death. How great is the power of this joyful satisfaction, stimulating in such a way the people!
