Ji Ping Meets Disaster吉平遇難
In going out and planning, it is better to wait;
haste brings worry and invites trouble.
Like a bird flying into a net,
how long until you can break free?
English rendering: our editorial version.
Not a time for haste. Be patient and avoid entanglements.
詩意：此卦守舊隨緣之象。凡事不如意主凶也。
解曰：守舊隨時。待貴人至。若問諸般。主事定遲。
另本 Variant：經商出入事遲疑，恐惹閒愁與是非，如鳥飛投羅網陷，相看能有幾人知。
