Classical Interpretation
The characters »decrease« and »increase« (42) show the beginning of flourishment and decay.
The image
Wind and thunder: the image increase. Thus the superior man: if he sees the good, he mimics it; if he has flaws, he rids himself of them.
The judgement
Increase. It furthers to undertake something. It furthers to cross the great water.Full text of Richard Wilhelm's 1924 translation by Cary F. Baynes
