Expression:
Affirmation:
I exercise authority
I am the master of my response.
Image (Legge):
Heaven within the mountain: the image of the Taming Power of the Great. Thus the superior man acquaints himself with many sayings of antiquity and many deeds of the past, in order to strengthen his character thereby.
Judgement (Legge):
Perseverance furthers. Not eating at home brings good fortune. It furthers one to cross the great water.
Overall meaning:
"Heaven is the greatest of all things, and its being in the midst of a mountain gives us the idea of a very large accumulation. This is analogous to the labor of the superior man in learning, acquiring and remembering, to accumulate his virtue." Chu Hsi
