既济亨小，利贞。初吉终乱，其道穷也。
After Completion: Success in small matters, favorable if correct. Good fortune at first, disorder at the end - the way is exhausted.

Ji Ji indicates completion but calls for caution. Initially fortunate but ending in disorder - at the peak decline begins. One should anticipate troubles and take preventive measures.

水在火上，既济；君子以思患而豫防之。
Water over fire: The image of the condition in After Completion. Thus the superior man takes thought of misfortune and arms himself against it in advance.

上卦坎（水），下卦离（火）。此卦强调陷与丽/明的配合，提示在变化中找到稳固的立场。古辞曰「亨小，利贞，初吉终乱。」，可理解为在灵活与应变时仍需保持清晰边界。

既济卦象征事情已经完成，水在火上——阴阳各得其位六爻完美排列。卦辞"亨小，利贞，初吉终乱"道出最深刻警告：看似完美的状态蕴含衰退种子。象辞"君子以思患而豫防之"是核心教导——成功后居安思危防微杜渐。九五"东邻杀牛不如西邻之禴祭"教导盛大牺牲不如简朴但合时的行动。此卦是对所有成功者的终极提醒：完成不是终点，维护成果比创造成果更难。
After Completion represents a task accomplished — yin and yang in perfect positions. The judgment delivers the most profound warning: "at the beginning good fortune, at the end disorder." Perfect states contain seeds of decline. The Image: "the superior man takes thought of misfortune and arms himself in advance." The fifth line teaches modest timely offerings outperform lavish ones. For all who succeed: completion is not the end; maintaining achievement is harder than creating it.
