Nine in the fourth place means: The legs of the ting are broken. The prince's meal is spilled And his person is soiled. Misfortune. A man has a difficult and responsible task to which he is not adequate. Moreover, he does not devote himself to it with all his strength but goes about with inferior people; therefore the execution of the work fails. In this way he also incurs personal opprobrium. Confucius says about this line: "Weak character coupled with honored place, meager knowledge with large plans, limited powers with heavy responsibility, will seldom escape disaster. "

焦氏易林

商人行旅,資无所有。貪貝逐利,留連玉帛。馭轅內安,公子何咎?

The merchant travels far, his capital all spent. Greedy for cowries, chasing profit, he lingers over jade and silk. Gripping the reins, at peace within; what fault befalls the young lord?

— 焦延寿《焦氏易林》,公元前一世纪

注释

木上有火,鼎之象。商人行旅而資本全無,貪貝逐利,流連於玉帛之間不忍離去。然末句轉折:「馭轅內安,公子何咎?」——執韁控轅而內心安定,何過之有?商人之貪念在最後一刻被馴服。從鼎至蠱(山下有風),風動山下,腐敗須革。蠱為先人遺留之弊,需後人整頓。鼎火不可用以餵養貪欲——公子之責在於重振紀綱,收拾前人放縱所遺之亂局。
