Ting / The Caldron

above:Li The Clinging, Flame
below:Sun The Gentle, Wind

The second [nine], undivided, shows the caldron with things (to be cooked) in it. If (its subject can say) "My enemy dislikes me, but he cannot approach me", there will be good fortune.

Line 2 is strong. "The enemy" is the first line, which solicits the I. One, however, is able to resist the solicitation; and the whole paragraph gives a good auspice. The personal pronoun seems to show that the whole was, or was intended to be, understood as an oracular response in divination. This paragraph is rhymed, moreover, as are also 1, 3 and 4 : -

"In the caldron is good fare
See my foe with angry glare
But touch me he does not dare."
