45 Collecting

The Statement of the second hexagram

The king draws near to the temple:
gain by seeing a great person.
Make an offering with purity,
using great sacrificial beasts. Fortune.
Gain by having a place to go.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Thunder and lightning:
biting. The ancient kings
defined penalties and
declared the laws.

Lake above the earth.
Collecting. The noble one
collects the tools of war
to guard against
unforeseen danger.
