The image
The wind blows low on the mountain: the image of work on what has been spoiled. Thus the superior man stirs up the people and strengthens their spirit.
The judgement
Work on what has been spoiled has sublime success. It furthers to cross the great water. Before the starting point three days, after the starting point three days.Full text of Richard Wilhelm's 1924 translation by Cary F. Baynes
