Judgment 卦辞
王假有庙，利见大人，亨。利贞。用大牲吉，利有攸往。王假有廟，利見大人，亨。利貞。用大牲吉，利有攸往。
In (the state denoted by) Tsui, 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.
