Classical Interpretation
Treading (10) does not dwell.
The image
Heaven above, the lake below: the image of treading. Thus the superior man differentiates high and low and thereby strengthens the judiciousness of the people.
The judgement
Treading upon the tiger's tail. It does not bite the man. Success.Full text of Richard Wilhelm's 1924 translation by Cary F. Baynes
