Classical Chinese Text
九二 鳴鶴在陰。其子和之。我有好爵。吾與爾靡之。
鳴鶴在陰。其子和之
Wilhelm Translation
A crane calling in the shade. Its young answers it. I have a good goblet. I will share it with you.
Commentary
A crane calling in the shade. Its young answers it. I have a good goblet; I will share it with you. The crane need not show itself on a high hill—it may be quite hidden when it sounds its call, yet its young will hear its note and give answer. Whenever a feeling is voiced with truth and frankness, a mysterious and far-reaching influence is exerted. The root of all influence lies in one's own inner being.
