11. PEACE AND HARMONY

The small dispatches.
The great approaches
as peace encroaches.
Here harmony enriches
with great successes.

THE LINES...
NINE AT THE BOTTOM:
In ideal times the right-minded
are in the company of like-minded.

NINE IN THE SECOND PLACE:
Bear the uncouth in gentleness.
Cross the river with resoluteness.
Neglect not what is in the distance.
Avoid clique and faction dominance
this allows you to take a middle pass.
When prosperous it's good to possess
enough greatness to bear the masses.
In masterful hands nothing is useless.

NINE IN THE THIRD PLACE:
One who perseveres will remain.
Don't push your luck... No blame.
Be of good cheer and not complain.
Enjoy the luck you still retain
As fortune can be followed by decline.
If beset by melancholy caution
it may serve to keep us from falling
into the dangerous illusion terrain.

SIX IN THE FOURTH PLACE:
Fellowship, without boasting of wealth,
sincerely, without contention or stealth,
is best indicator of one's inner wealth.

SIX IN THE FIFTH PLACE:
By law, the imperial princesses
(Tho higher in rank than their husbands)
had to obey the princes like other wives.
In this modest union happiness thrives.

SIX AT THE TOP:
The wall has fallen.
Maintain your town.
