9 Smallness Tames

The Statement of the first hexagram

Smallness tames. Persevere.
Dense clouds, no rain
at my western border.

The changing lines

The first line:
Return to your own Way.
How can this be wrong?
The second line:
Pulled to return.
Fortune.
The third line:
Carriage spokes halted.
Husband and wife quarrel.

20 Beholding

The Statement of the second hexagram

Behold! The hands have been washed,

but the offering has not yet been made.

Be sincere and dignified in appearance.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Wind moving high
in heaven: smallness tames.
The noble one acts
with restraint, culture,
and morals.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

The wind moving above
the earth: beholding.
The ancient kings
inspected the provinces
and territories to establish
the right teachings.
