The fourth [six], divided, shows one looking as if adorned, but only in white. As if (mounted on) a white horse, and furnished with white wings, (he seeks union with the subject of the first line), while (the intervening third) pursues, not as a robber, but intent on a matrimonial alliance.

Line 4 has its proper correlate in 1, from whose strength it should receive ornament, but 2 and the strong 3 intervene and keep them apart, so that the ornament is only white, and of no bright color. Line 4, however, is faithful to 1, and earnest for their union. And finally line 3 appears in a good character, and not with the purpose to injure, so that the union of 1 and 4 takes place. All this is intended to indicate how ornament recognizes the superiority of solidity. Compare the symbolism of the second line of Kun (3), and that of the topmost line of Khwei (38).
