The Taming Power of the Great.

Not eating at home brings good fortune.
It furthers one to cross the great water.

The image of the Taming Power of the Great.
Thus the superior man acquaints himself with many sayings of antiquity
And many deeds of the past,
In order to strengthen his character thereby.
