38 Estrangement

The Statement of the first hexagram

Estrangement.

In small matters: fortune.

The changing lines

The first line:
Remorse vanishes. Do not search:

a lost horse returns by itself.

When seeing the wicked, make no mistakes.
The third line:
Seeing the wagon dragged back, his oxen

taken, his men's hair and noses cut off.

Not a beginning, but an ending.
The fourth line:
Estranged, one meets the main person.

A trustworthy exchange.

Severity is without fault.
The sixth line:
Strange sights: a pig shouldering mud,

a cartload of ghosts. One first draws a bow,

then lowers it. No raider- a groom. Go.

Meet the rain, and with it, fortune.

46 Rising

The Statement of the second hexagram

Rising. Great continuing.

Act now to see the great person.

Do not be distressed. Advance southward:

fortune.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Fire above, lake below:
estrangement. The noble
one works with others,
but remains an individual.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Wood growing in the
center of the land: rising.
The noble one is mild,
gradually raising what is
tiny into the tall and great.
