7. Shih / The Army
THE ARMY / THE HOST OF THE MULTITUDE
Shih indicates how, in the case which it supposes, with firmness and correctness, and a leader of age and experience there will be good fortune and no error.
THE GREAT SYMBOLISM
The trigram representing the earth and in the midst of it that representing water, form Shih. The superior man, in accordance with this, nourishes and educates the people, and collects from among them the multitudes of the host.
THE LINES
•The third line, divided, shows how the host may, possibly, have many inefficient leaders. There will be evil.
•The fourth line, divided, shows the host in retreat. There is no error.
•The topmost line, divided, shows the great ruler delivering his charges, Appointing some to be rulers of states, and others to undertake the headship of clans; but small men should not be employed in such positions.
KING WEN'S EXPLANATION OF THE HEXAGRAM
The name Shih describes the multitude of the host. The firmness and correctness which the hexagram indicates refer to more correctness of aim. When the mover is able to use the multitude with such correctness, he may attain to the royal sway.
There is the symbol of strength in the centre of the trigram below, and it is responded to by its proper correlate above. The action gives rise to perils, but it is in accordance with the best sentiments of men. Its mover may by such action distress all the country, but the people will follow him: there will be good fortune, and what error should there be?
DUKE OF CHOU'S EXPLANATION OF THE LINES
•The host with the possibility of its having many idle leaders: great will be its want of success.
•The host is in retreat; but there is no error: there has been no failure in the regular course.
•The great ruler delivers his charges: thereby he rightly apportions merit. Small men should not be employed: they are sure to throw the states into confusion.

50. Ting / The Caldron
THE CALDRON
Ting gives the intimation of great progress and success.
GREAT SYMBOLISM
The trigram representing wood and above it that for fire form Ting. The superior man, in accordance with this, keeps his every position correct, and maintains secure the appointment of Heaven.
KING WEN'S EXPLANATION OF THE HEXAGRAM
In Ting we have symbolically the figure of a caldron. We see the symbol of wood entering into that of fire, which suggests the idea of a cooking. The sages cooked their offerings in order to present them to God, and made great feasts to nourish their wise and able ministers.
We have the symbol of flexible obedience, and that which denotes ears quick of hearing and eyes clear-sighted. We have also the weak line advanced and acting above, in the central place, and responded to by the strong line below. All these thing give the idea of great
