All I,
And more:

Informationen zum InterpretationsmodellClassical Interpretation
Break-through (43) signifies determination: the strong turns decisively against the weak.
The image
The lake has risen up to heaven: the image of break-through. Thus the superior man donates precious wealth downwards and refrains from dwelling upon his virtue.
The judgement
Break-through. The matter must be announced at the king's court with determination. It must be announced truthfully. Danger! One must notify one's own town. It does not further to resort to arms. It furthers one to undertake something.Full text of Richard Wilhelm's 1924 translation by Cary F. Baynes
