Judgment of hexagram 45 萃
王假有廟，利見大人，亨。利貞。用大牲吉，利有攸往。
In (the state denoted by) Zhui, the king will repair to his ancestral temple. It will be advantageous (also) to meet with the great man; and then there will be progress and success, though the advantage must come through firm correctness. The use of great victims will conduce to good fortune; and in whatever direction movement is made, it will be advantageous.
Judgment of hexagram 13 同人
同人于野，亨。 利涉大川，利君子貞。
Thung Zăn (or 'Union of men') appears here (as we find it) in the (remote districts of the) country, indicating progress and success. It will be advantageous to cross the great stream. It will be advantageous to maintain the firm correctness of the superior man.

The changing lines of hexagram 45
| Line | Chinese | Legge |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 有孚不終，乃亂乃萃，若號一握為笑，勿恤，往无咎。 | The first line, divided, shows its subject with a sincere desire (for union), but unable to carry it out, so that disorder is brought into the sphere of his union. If he cry out (for help to his proper correlate), all at once (his tears) will give place to smiles. He need not mind (the temporary difficulty); as he goes forward, there will be no error. |
| 3 | 萃如，嗟如，无攸利，往无咎，小吝。 | The third line, divided, shows its subject striving after union and seeming to sigh, yet nowhere finding any advantage. If he go forward, he will not err, though there may be some small cause for regret. |
| 6 | 齎資涕洟，无咎。 | The topmost line, divided, shows its subject sighing and weeping; but there will be no error. |
