＜Sequence of the Gua（The Ninth Wing of the Commentary）＞：
Responding
Principle：027. After Heaven and Earth (Universe) have come into existence, myriad being are produced.
＜Significance of the Gua＞：
020. Your purpose will be fulfilled to a great extent only if you follow your master. Do not be a front-runner, or you will lose your way. Follow means being submissive but not slavish, independent but not rebellious and a leader in some case but not dictatorial.
＜Significance of the Yao＞：
First Six：021. You should be aware of what's coming from a small clue. Then you can take preventive actions aginst possible troubles. For example, when you see hoarfrost (small clue) in northern China, you know that winter is coming soon where you see solid ice(possible troubles). As old Chines proverb says that there must be extra pleasure in a family where small virtues have been accumulated regularly. Don't neglect small things.
Second Six：022. You will succeed without difficulties only if you are upright and obedient. Nothing would remain unfavorable. They thought the Heaven was round while the Earth was square in ancient China. When square is applied to morality it means upright. Being upright and obedient is the virtue of the square of the Earth.
Third Six：023. Those who are talented show their head in the public spontaneously against their intention of not becoming standing out. Behaving modestly to the end with hiding your excellence is essential. Please concentrate only on carring out important work in your company to the last without appealing your contribution.
Fourth Six：024. Be cautious over and over of your choice in words and actions. Assuming that you are now at the second position of some entity (= means insecure), there wouldl be no honor or no fault only if you wisely conceal your excellence and are prudent/cautious as if tying up a bag.
Fifth Six：025. You will become a great leader since you have been humble and made effort to walk in the central path (Golden Mean). Yellow lower garments are suited you very well. (In ancient China, the upper garments of Emperor were black and the lower yellow. Yellow seen from under the black was a symbol of virtuously modest.)
Top Six：026. Are there any haughty points inside you recently although you have succeeded by virtue of modesty? It's a turning point now. There is a presentiment about heroic and decisive battle with your rival. Never forget your first resolution to the end!
