The Tai Hexagram

The Tai hexagram(the symbol of prosperity)predicates good fortune
and success. Out goes the small and in comes the great--everything
is going to its proper place.

(1 is bottomline and 6 is topline of the picture)

1.When you pull up the reeds,
  Their roots are entangled.
  Things of a kind cling together.
  You will have good fortune 
  If you take action.
2.Be magnanimous toward everything;
  Be resolute when you wade across a stream;
  Never forget you far-away friends;
  Never form a clique.
  This is the way to serve a wise king.
3.There is no plain without bumps;
  There is no going without return.
  Perseverance in adverse times
  Will not invite blame.
  If you do not worry about your sincerity,
  You will have blessing in your life.
4.Condescend to your neighbour
  With a sincerity from the bottom of your heart.
5.The king gives his sister for marriage.
  She will enjoy happiness and supreme fortune.
6.When the city wall collapses into the moat,
  It is not the right time to use the army.
  You should reduce your commands
  So as to save yourself from grief.
