Third-Nine. This Model Man is now most firm throughout his entire day, and in the evening he is solicitously careful ; hence no dissatisfaction arises even (when he is placed) in dangerous circumstances.
Throughout the entire day being most firm, refers to the successive goings and returnings of Taou.
Three-Nine says, The Model Man is most firm throughout his entire day, and in the evening he is solicitously careful: hence no dissatisfaction ensues even (when he is placed) in a dangerous position ; what is the meaning of this ? Confucius says; The Model Man advances in Virtue and regulates his conduct. He is faithful and reliable, and by this means advances in virtu. By regulating his speech he establishes his perfect sincerity; and thus confirms his virtuous conduct. Knowing the source of matters he commences from that point, and thus his knowledge is minute ; while understanding the perfect accomplishment of matters, he perfects them accordingly, and this preserves his rectitude intact. It is thus that he occupies the highest position without haughtiness, and the lowest without dejection ; and hence he is most firm, and is solicitously anxious for the welfare of the age in which he lives. Even in circumstances involving danger he stands faultless.
Being firm throughout the day, refers to action.
Being most firm throughout the day implies taking advantage of every opportunity,
The Third-Nine (stroke) is doubly Hard, and is not in the due Medium; it is not in the Heaven above nor is it on the dry land beneath (represented by the second stroke) ; hence (being a position of danger, it represents the Model Man as) most firm, and anxious for the welfare of the age in which he lives, and thus although he may be placed in a position of danger, yet he stands blameless.
