中孚·诚信·感化万物
豚鱼吉，利涉大川，利贞。
中孚象征内心极度诚信、感化万物。其诚意连最难开化的豚鱼都能感化，吉。利于涉险攻坚、利于守正。外实内虚（中虚为信）之象。
初九 虞吉，有它不燕。
九二 鸣鹤在阴，其子和之；我有好爵，吾与尔靡之。
六三 得敌，或鼓或罢，或泣或歌。
六四 月几望，马匹亡，无咎。
九五 有孚挛如，无咎。
上九 翰音登于天，贞凶。
豚鱼吉，利涉大川，利贞。
Even the simplest offering — pigs and fish — brings good fortune here; crossing the great river is favorable, and holding to what is right pays off.
Initial Nine: Being prepared brings good fortune. If there are secret designs, it is disquieting.
Nine in the second: A crane calls out from the shade, and its chick answers in kind -- I have a fine cup of wine, and I want to share it with you.
Six in the third: Caught up with a rival, swinging wildly between beating the drum and falling silent, between weeping and singing.
Six in the fourth: Like the moon just short of full, letting the paired horse wander off rather than holding on -- this draws no fault.
Nine in the fifth: A sincerity strong enough to bind people together like this draws no fault.
Nine at the top: Like a rooster's crow trying to reach all the way to heaven -- noise without real substance -- clinging to this rigidly brings misfortune.
