The Wanderer. Success through smallness.
Perseverance brings good fortune
To the wanderer.

Fire on the mountain:
The image of the Wanderer.
Thus the superior one
Is clear-minded and cautious
In imposing penalties,
And protracts no lawsuits.

Changing Lines

Line 1: Yin Firming

If the wanderer busies themself with trivial things,
They draw down misfortune upon themself.

Line 2: Yin Firming

The wanderer comes to an inn.
They have their property with them.
They win the steadfastness of a young servant.

Line 3: Yang Opening

The wanderer's inn burns down.
They lose the steadfastness of their young servant.
Danger.

Line 4: Yang Opening

The wanderer rests in a shelter.
They obtain their property and an ax.
My heart is not glad.

Line 5: Yin Firming

One shoots a pheasant.
It drops with the first arrow.
In the end this brings both praise and office.

Line 6: Yang Opening

The bird's nest burns up.
The wanderer laughs at first,
Then must needs lament and weep.
Through carelessness they loses their cow.
Misfortune.
