乾 Qian: Hexagram 1

大哉乾元，
萬物資始，
乃統天。
雲行雨施，
品物流形。
大明始終，
六位時成，
時乘六龍以御天

In the vast fields of Qian,
All creatures have their beginnings,
All as one family under one sky.
Clouds pass and rains fall, 
Celestial heavens turn matter into form.
From beginning to end,
Six dragons ride each position,
Thus the way forward is under mandate of heaven.
(Thus in this way, both heaven and earth are transformed) 

~ from the Book of Changes 易經
