Judgment
The maiden is given in marriage. To act now brings misfortune. Nothing is gained by persisting.
Lines
- First line (1): The maiden is given in marriage as a younger sister. Though lame, she can still walk. To act brings good fortune.
- Second line (2): Though blind in one eye, she can still see. It is favorable to remain steadfast as a solitary person.
- Third line (3): The maiden is given in marriage as a concubine, but then returns to be a younger sister.
- Fourth line (4): The maiden is given in marriage, but the time is delayed. A late marriage has its proper time.
- Fifth line (5): The emperor's daughter is given in marriage. Her sleeves are not as fine as those of her younger sister. The moon is nearly full. Good fortune.
- Top line (6): The woman carries an empty basket; the man stabs a sheep but draws no blood. Nothing is gained.
