Fellowship with men (13) finds affection.

The image

Heaven together with fire: the image of fellowship with men. Thus the superior man organizes the clans and differentiates things.

Fellowship with men in the open: good fortune. It furthers to cross the great water. The superior man's perseverance furthers. Full text of Richard Wilhelm's 1924 translation by Cary F. Baynes
