    11 Prospering
  
  
    
      
      The Statement of the first hexagram
    
    
      Prospering: the vile goes, 
the great comes. 
Fortune. Continue.
    
   
  
    The changing lines
    
        
    The sixth line:
    City walls fall into a dry moat. 
Do not use armies. 
Report to your own capital. 
Make commands: remorse.  
     
   
 
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    26 Great Restraint
  
  
    The Statement of the second hexagram
  
  
   Gain by being upright. 
Not eating at home brings fortune. 
Advance across the great river.
  
   
 
     
    
        
    The Image of the first hexagram
  
  
    Heaven and earth combine: 
prospering. 
The empress uses wealth 
to fulfill the way 
of heaven and earth. 
She supports the order 
of heaven and earth for 
people on all sides.  
      
      
      
      
     
    
        
    The Image of the second hexagram
  
  
    Heaven in the center of a 
mountain: great restraint. 
The noble one 
frequently studies 
the words and prophesies 
of the past, and thereby 
nourishes virtue.
