Chung Fu / Inner Truth

The second [nine], undivided, shows its subject (like) the crane crying out in her hidden retirement and her young ones responding to her. (It is as if it was said) 'I have a cup of good spirits', (and the response were) 'I will partake of it with you.'
For paragraph 2, see Appendix III, Section i. It is in rhyme, and I have there rendered it in rhyme. The 'young ones of the crane' are represented by line 1. In the third and fourth sentences we have the symbolism of two men brought together by their sympathy in virtue. The subject of the paragraph is the effect of sincerity.
