  Line 1. Pan geng, turning round and round, can also be translated as: a rock, a pillar. But there is also another possibility: the name of a Shang king (see Harmen Mesker).
  Line 2. I owe the marital suitor to Bradford Hatcher.
  Line 3. To stop or: abandon, let go. Deer (lu) is a pun for great good fortune (lu). Attaining the throne in early slang became catching the deer.
  Line 5: For 'gao', in Wilhelm translated as blessing, see Harmen's text. Other translation: 'juice' is fat meat, or a region below the heart. It is also used like the English word juice, meaning spiritual energy and courage.
   Qi is cosmic energy. Jing is organic energy, it is the inborn essence and it determines the constitution and distinguishing features of creatures. Jing is "the internal river of strength", water containing creative force: like this hexagram of thunder in water.
