Classical Interpretation
Grace (22) signifies undyed.
The image
Low at the mountain is fire: the image of grace. Thus the superior man proceeds with clarifying current affairs, but then does not dare to decide controversial issues.
The judgement
Grace has success. In small matters it furthers to do something.Full text of Richard Wilhelm's 1924 translation by Cary F. Baynes
