萃 第四十五 Hexagram 45 · Cuì
萃：亨王假有廟，利見大人，亨。利貞。用大牲吉，利有攸往。
In (the state denoted by) Ȝhui, the king will repair to his ancestral temple. It will be advantageous (also) to meet with the great man; and then there will be progress and success, though the advantage must come through firm correctness. The use of great victims will conduce to good fortune; and in whatever direction movement is made, it will be advantageous.
初六：有孚不終，乃亂乃萃，若號一握為笑，勿恤，往无咎。
The first line, divided, shows its subject with a sincere desire (for union), but unable to carry it out, so that disorder is brought into the sphere of his union. If he cry out (for help to his proper correlate), all at once (his tears) will give place to smiles. He need not mind (the temporary difficulty); as he goes forward, there will be no error.
六二：引吉，无咎，孚乃利用禴。
The second line, divided, shows its subject led forward (by his correlate). There will be good fortune, and freedom from error. There is entire sincerity, and in that case (even the small offerings of) the vernal sacrifice are acceptable.
六三：萃如，嗟如，无攸利，往无咎，小吝。
The third line, divided, shows its subject striving after union and seeming to sigh, yet nowhere finding any advantage. If he go forward, he will not err, though there may be some small cause for regret.
九四：大吉，无咎。
The fourth line, undivided, shows its subject in such a state that, if he be greatly fortunate, he will receive no blame.
九五：萃有位，无咎。匪孚，元永貞，悔亡。
The fifth line, undivided, shows the union (of all) under its subject in the place of dignity. There will be no error. If any do not have confidence in him, let him see to it that (his virtue) be great, long-continued, and firmly correct, and all occasion for repentance will disappear.
上六：齎咨涕洟，无咎。
The topmost line, divided, shows its subject sighing and weeping; but there will be no error.
