Hexagram 63 · 既濟 jì jì

Already Across · line 5

九五:東鄰殺牛,不如西鄰之禴祭,實受其福。

The fifth line, undivided, shows its subject (as) the neighbour in the east who slaughters an ox (for his sacrifice); but this is not equal to the (small) spring sacrifice of the neighbour in the west, whose sincerity receives the blessing.

James Legge, 1882
