《升 - Sheng》

English translation: James Legge [?] Library Resources
1 升:
柔以時升,巽而順,剛中而應,是以大亨。用見大人,勿恤;有慶也。南征吉,志行也。
Tuan Zhuan:
(We find) the weak (line), as it finds the opportunity, ascending upwards. We have (the attribute) of flexibility and that of obedience; we have the strong line (below) and its proper correlate above: - these things indicate that there will be 'great progress and success.' 'Seeking (by the qualities implied in Sheng) to meet with the great man, its subject need have no anxiety:' - there will be ground for congratulation. 'Advance to the south will be fortunate:' - his aim will be carried out.
