Line 1:

Indicates that an action, like an army going forth, should be carried out following established rules and proper guidance. If these guidelines are not followed correctly, the endeavor will lead to trouble or negative consequences.

Line 2:

Represents a leader who is at the center of their army, guiding with strength and wisdom. This alignment brings good fortune and avoids mistakes, as the leader's concern for the well-being of all people fosters unity and success.

Line 3:

Warns of the danger of having too many weak or ineffective leaders within an army or group. This lack of strong leadership leads to disorganization and confusion, resulting in negative outcomes or failure.

Line 4:

Depicts a situation where the army is in retreat, suggesting a strategic withdrawal. This decision is wise and appropriate for the circumstances, and therefore, it is not considered a mistake.

Line 5:

Suggests that taking decisive action, like capturing and removing birds from a field, is necessary to avoid mistakes. However, if leadership is unbalanced—where a capable leader takes charge but those in lesser positions neglect their duties—problems and negative outcomes will still arise, despite the leader's firmness and correctness.

Line 6:

Depicts a great ruler wisely delegating responsibilities by appointing capable leaders to govern states and head clans. However, it warns against placing unqualified or inferior individuals in these important roles, as doing so could lead to disorder and failure.
