Treading

天澤履 Lǚ

caution conduct propriety

The Judgment

履虎尾,不咥人,亨。

Treading. One treads on the tail of the tiger. It does not bite the person. Success.

The Image

上天下澤,履;君子以辨上下,定民志。

Heaven above, the lake below: the image of Treading. Thus the superior person discriminates between high and low, and thereby fortifies the thinking of the people.

In one line

Careful conduct in risky places keeps danger harmless.
