Hexagram 64 · Wei Ji · Before Completion

King Wen, Duke of Zhou, Confucius · Western Zhou (c.1000 BCE)

䷿

Before Completion: success. But the little fox, nearly across, gets its tail wet. Nothing furthers. 1. Wetting the tail. Humiliation. 2. Dragging the wheel. Perseverance: good fortune. 3. Before completion — going: misfortune. Favorable to cross great water. 4. Perseverance: good fortune. Remorse disappears. Shake — attack Demon Territory. Three years: reward from the great kingdom. 5. Perseverance: good fortune, no remorse. The superior man's light — sincere: good fortune. 6. Sincere in drinking wine. No blame. But wetting the head — loses this through sincerity.
