Classical Interpretation
The unexpected signifies extraneous misfortune.
The image
Under heaven thunder rolls: all things attain the natural state of innocence. Thus the ancient kings, rich in virtue and in accordance with the seasons, cultivated and nurtured all beings.
The judgement
Innocence. Sublime success. Perseverance furthers. If someone is not right, he has misfortune, and it does not further to undertake anything.Full text of Richard Wilhelm's 1924 translation by Cary F. Baynes
